Can't install snap apps
The following worked on my system:
sudo apt-get install snapd
sudo snap install notes
I needed to log out and then back in for Dash to find 'Notes':
Note: There is currently some confusion with another Xenial package called snap which gives: 'location of genes from DNA sequence with hidden markov model'. If you get dpkg
errors to do with this package when installing snapd
(in particular overwriting of commonly named man pages) run the following:
sudo apt-get purge snap
And then you should be right to go :)
The application 'Notes' was perhaps a little underwhelming, other packages look a little more promising:
