Description

TLDR: snap confinement should not be applied to tools like ipfs-desktop. This is called "classic" mode.

I filled a [request to apply "classic" confinement](https://snapcraft.io/docs/reviewing-classic-confinement-snaps) to ipfs-desktop in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/ipfs-desktop-classic-review/28517

:point_right: Until this is fixed, please avoid using Snap, and choose `.AppImage` instead.
:point_right: If you really, really want to use Snap, please raise support [here](https://snapcraft.io/docs/reviewing-classic-confinement-snaps).
