Where to save stuff (in snap-agnostic way)

[XiaoGuo Liu]

Hi Seth,

Thanks. You are right. I just created a new dir under the root, and I tried
to access it, and it was successful this time.

liuxg at liuxg:~/snappy/desktop$ sudo snap run --shell hello.env
[sudo] password for liuxg:
root at liuxg:/home/liuxg/snappy/desktop# cd /run/user/0/snap.hello
root at liuxg:/run/user/0/snap.hello# ls

Many thanks
Best regards,
XiaoGuo
