Oops, I switched distros!
I gotta get my ass off Ubuntu. It’s literally just Business Debian—or in other words, Debian but worse.
One of the reasons Linux Mint is so great, all the awesome things about Ubuntu under the hood without any of the trash 😊
The day I went to install something with APT and it forced installed the Snap with no easy way to tell it not to was the last day I ever ran Ubuntu on my PC
I recently tried Ubuntu.
Wait, no, I fought Ubuntu.Firefox was snap. OK, remove it and apt install. Nope, that installs a snap. Now, one more thing, for some reason uninstalling the snap version of Firefox took several minutes each time where it was “disconnecting” it from a bunch of things, or something along those lines.
So I followed the Mozilla guide for Firefox installation on Ubuntu. Did it work? No. The higher priority setting for Mozilla repo from their guide didn’t work.
Finally, I found the answer on OMG Ubuntu, and I could finally install the regular Firefox package.i purged snapd and moved to flatpak, its pretty great.
Same here.
I had heard the issues, but thought - no big deal, right?
Then I went to run something and it ran weird, so I checked
whichon the command line - and discovered my apt command had been intercepted and rerouted to snap.I forget the media (maybe multiple) where someone shoots their robot the first time it ignored a command, but it felt like that.
I reimaged that machine to Debian or Mint shortly after that.
I lost my shit when they first added snaps and I haven’t used it since
Adding them didn’t bother me. Actively subverting my choice to not use them did.
Oh man. Those turned my poop green.
Youre not supposed to eat software.
You’re not my real dad.
Well actually…
Your mom and your biological dad and I are just worried about you. Snaps are mostly sugar.
