Linux Assistant as Snap

[NachtsternBuild]

Hello everyone,

here is my attempt to also provide Linux Assistant as a Snap.
Not everything is working yet. But at least LA starts up and the UI works correctly. Access should also work. I will test what works over the next few days.

A few ideas for further integration would be great, if anyone is interested.

Brief test overview

If you want to test it yourself but don't want to build the snap:
https://github.com/NachtsternBuild/linux-assistant/releases

What works:

• installing apps
• security check
• linux health
• updates
• setting up flatpak
• memory cleanup
• Running APT/flatpak commands
• add user to sudo
• setup after installing LA
• switching power mode
• exit LA
• showing system informations at the start screen of LA
• change grub configs
• shutdown the system from the LA
• detection of installed apps
• searching URL in the webbrowser
• bookmarks
• recently opened folders/folders
• system information
• change password
• searching for apps over LA

Bugs:

• LA crashes when it attempts to launch external apps or initiate actions via external apps sometimes (no idea why)
• LA shortcut crashes:

** (linux-assistant:88888): WARNING **: 12:32:44.035: Binding '<Meta>q' failed!

Warnings:

• apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. → this may cause problems with the app search or other

Flutter Bugs:
It is possible that these errors also occur at runtime as deb, rpm, or flatpak.

• When ending the LA:

embedder.cc (2519): 'FlutterEngineRemoveView' returned 'kInvalidArguments'. Remove view info was invalid. The implicit view cannot be removed.

• After searching with the LA:
