Alternative to snap/squashfs

See original GitHub issue
$ sudo snap install microk8s --classic
error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": mount:
       unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'

OVH (a popular dedicated hosting company) does not have squashfs support on their kernel for their Ubuntu 16.04 image.

Is there an alternative way to acquire microk8s?

As far as I know, if it’s Ubuntu, it supports squashfs. And conversely, if it doesn’t support squashfs, it isn’t Ubuntu.

I sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic and rebooted. I believe that fixed it.
