SNAP applications are not installing.

I have tried to install 2 SNAP applications and I am getting an error. The error says that it is trying to reach localhost with no port. I already updated the snap repo and it did not fix the problem. This sounds like a configuration issue somewhere. I just installed the latest version of this awesome distro. I am really impressed with this distro. It just needs a few fixes and a bit more care to allow us Linux users in the USA to embrace it more. Technology-wise this distro is hands down the best one I have ever use much superior to any other from bigger companies like Fedora and such. In addition to this issue, I have also noticed that the distro shows messages in Portuguese and Spanish in some of the screens after selecting the English version. That will turn off a lot of the potential users in the US.

I found a solution for this. I tried on the 6.1 kernel and the 6.6 kernel. You need to first install snap manually by running these commands:
sudo pacman -S snapd
sudo systemctl enable –now snapd.socket
sudo systemctl enable –now snapd.apparmor
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

once you do that logout and then log back in. Try snap by running:
snap version
if that returns then you can go and then enable the snap repo and download the cache in pacman and bigstore. After you do this, installation of snaps work perfectly. This is something that might be added to the base image to avoid this issue.
