Hi everyone.  
Processing can now be installed through snap on linux.  
It works well, at first glance, but there seem to be a “sandbox” problem (the command `snap connect processing:removable-media` answers `snap "processing" has no plug named "removable-media"`) : on my computer, processing is unable to access to my second hdd, and can not even save the programs I write.  
I guess it’s not just for me as it seems processing for snap lacks the option of pluging “removable-media”.  
It uses do be ok with 4.3 and the traditional installation, but it’s not available anymore !

You may try out install it as “classic”:  
`snap install processing --classic`

On the “snap” site it’s in version 4.4.1 btW:

> **[Install Processing on Linux | Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/processing)**
>
> Get the latest version of Processing for Linux - A friendly software sketchbook
