Flatpak 1.0.9 and Snap 2.4.2

We always recommend the use of native apps, but that does not mean that you don't have support to run apps packaged as Flatpak or Snap. You can use those types of packages in Escuelas Linux, as well as AppImages.

Microcodes, DKMS and NDISwrapper

Stuff for better usability

In Escuelas Linux 6.8 are now included the most recent versions of microcode files, as well as the DKMS y NDISwrapper apps, all of them can be useful to properly run devices on certain systems.
