Hi Ted,
thanks, we'll add those instructions in, too.
I've got a question about the stable snaps:
Users had issues with the Inkscape snap about fonts not being loaded, extensions not working, and the interface not blending in with the desktop environment (e.g. www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33129, http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=32984&hilit=snap+f...) - things that are important to some, but maybe not to all users.
Has there been progress on those fronts?
Sometimes things are fixed, and one only starts to suspect that because there are no more questions about it... I'd like to be up-to-date :)

I wrote this reply a week ago, but then when I checked the edge snap was broken. It works now. It needed a newer GTKmm than what was in Ubuntu 16.04. Not a big deal, but that turned out to be a bigger fix than I expected. Still needs some fixes, but I can use it now. It also works on Wayland.

And for Linux:
(same as for macOS, only select inkscape:linux artifacts, or:)
- use Ubuntu/Ubuntu derivative on your system
- visit https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev
- Select if you want the stable branch (stable daily 0.92.x) or the
master branch (trunk daily) 4. Add ppa as per instructions on the page 5. run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install inkscape
For other Linux distributions and for Ubuntu as well there is a per-commit (roughly, depends on LP syncing before the next commit) Snap build.
$ sudo snap install --edge inkscape
Or if you already have it installed:
$ sudo snap refresh --edge inkscape
You can then go back to stable with the same command:
$ sudo snap refresh --stable inkscape
Overall keeping up-to-date on that should be smaller than the updates on the deb side as they're compressed binary diffs. I haven't measured it though.
