Can't download custom huggingface model on Linux

[raivisdejus]

Installed buzz according to the official instructions

sudo apt-get install libportaudio2
sudo snap install buzz

And tried to add transcription with custom huggingface model

buzz add --model-type huggingface --hfid AiLab-IMCS-UL/whisper-large-v3-lv-late-cv17 --language lv --srt audio.mp3

Getting this error:

  File "/snap/buzz/102/lib/python3.10/site-packages/buzz/cli.py", line 41, in parse_command_line
    parse(app, parser)
  File "/snap/buzz/102/lib/python3.10/site-packages/buzz/cli.py", line 156, in parse
    ModelDownloader(model=model).run()

    model_path = huggingface_hub.snapshot_download(
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'snapshot_download'

Seems to be deliberate configuration https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz/blob/main/buzz/model_loader.py#L21

Happy to volunteer to be a Linux tester if that helps :)

Issue that seems to have prompted removal of some functionality for Linux is a security related thing for snaps.
