A snap will give you a couple of nice qualities:
* you can bundle the libraries you need in the snap
* you can update on your own schedule (and updates automatically propagate)
* you can reach a range of Linux desktops with a single package
I know others are working on snaps using Qt 5.7 so you will have others
to share bugs :)
