Installation via snap
Hi, all. I just got the new Chrome OS 80, which uses Debian Buster instead of Stretch. So, I'm trying again to install MuseScore on my Lenovo C330 Chromebook, which has an ARM processor. I've posted this question on the snapcraft forum as well, since I know nothing about Linux and I don't know what this error means. So from the terminal, I installed snap, and then I ran:
sudo snap install musescore
and after a bunch of activity, it gave me:
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap “core” (8691) from channel “stable” (unexpected EOF)
Help?
Thanks!

I have, thanks. But the AppImage for ARM is pretty out of date. Or at least it was a week or two ago, when I tried before the Chrome OS update. How happy you would make me if you say it's been updated since then! :-D

OK, thanks
Glad to see you've got Chrome OS 80 up and running. Unfortunately I don't know much about snap, except I do know that improved MuseScore support it is being worked on by the maintainer of that system, so hopefully there will be an update soon? Best to ask for further help on a forum dedicated to snap specifially.

Thanks, Marc. I did post on the snap forum, but haven't gotten any responses yet. I guess I'll keep messing around trying different things.

All right, that will be some extra motivation not to give up. I just feel very much like an alien navigating through the foreign land of Linux. Nothing really makes much sense to me.

Good news! I have got it installed and running via flatpak. See the details on github, it wasn't straightforward, but a kind soul helped me through it.
