### Use your package manager

If you want to be on the safe side, install xsnow using your package manager, e.g. for
Debian-like distributions (Ubuntu, Linux mint, ...):

      apt install xsnow

Understandable, the distributions often do not offer the newest version 
or even do not offer xsnow at all.

### Origin
The current xsnow wouldn't have existed without Rick Jansen's xsnow-1.42.
That version is still available [here](https://janswaal.home.xs4all.nl/Xsnow/) .
