[SyncTERM]

I didn't know there was a Snap of Syncterm... anyway, theres probably just no syncterm.desktop file [Menu Entry File] for it. You can type 'syncterm' in ter terminal/CLI and press ENTER.
Also, MeaTLoTioN of Quantum Wormhole has written a perfect script you can use, or follow, to compile the NEWEST version by yourself. It still requires commands to be typed in the terminal/CLI, but its not too rough - he tells you EVERY command to install all needed pre-requisites and then install the software so that there IS a menu entry [syncterm.desktop file..]. Heres the link:

^^ I use this script ALL THE TIME; basically, you just enter the commands just
as listed; follow along and see Syncterm actually get COMPILED. If you have
any issues, just post back here - or email me @ 2oFB and I'm willing to help.
Cheers!!
P.S. Netrunner is a binary download - you just run it... I prefer SyncTERM,
but heres a link to Netrunner if you like; funny thing, tho, you'd still need
to create a Menu Entry. LOL; there is a Linux package named 'alacarte' that
is a GUI menu editor... :P
