Hello! Thanks for making egpu-switcher

I noticed in #90 that that you no longer maintain a deb or PPA.

Would you be interested in having a snap of the application published in the snap store? It would make the application easier to install with a simple snap install egpu-switcher, or clicking from a GUI storefront.

I'd be happy to contribute a PR for this and help you get it published if that's the case.

The configuration required to make a snap is (in my opinion) a dozen or so lines - I've made a few Go snaps in my time - they're typically quite straightforward. However, snaps are confined, which would likely break this application, so it might need to be a "classic" (unconfined) application, which I can help with too.

If you're not interested, that's fine too, no bother. Also, I note there's not been much activity recently, so if you're busy and don't have the capacity for this, that's cool too.

All the best.

Hey there,

I think that is an interesting idea and would welcome a PR for that. However, I am not familiar with snaps at all, and don't have the capacity and knowledge to maintain a snap package myself. As you might have seen in the code, I set up a workflow to automatically publish the AUR package when I do a release on Github. This way I don't have to do anything manually to publish for Arch. If you can do something similar for a Snap package, I'd be more than happy to accept your PR. :)

Another thing that I was considering a while ago is to look into publishing to https://www.makedeb.org/ or something. But since I am not on Debian (or any derivative) myself, I haven't found the time to look into that.
