Here are some simple steps to install the program i want under linux... /s
what happened to ubuntu? it becomes shittier and shittier from year to year...
I know. I just installed the latest Kubuntu LTS on my system and I'm regretting it because of the Snap exclusivity. If it wasn't for that, if I still had the option to install a .deb from Ubuntu's repos, it would be great. But, that's sadly not the case.
The only places I've felt the pain were firefox, chrome, and eclipse. I'll check later to see what snaps are installed but the sandbox is mostly not noticed. The main issue is that the app with this biggest attack surface (Firefox) is also the one I explicitly want to access my whole system.
Chrome I only installed because ff didn't work, but it was no better.
35 snaps installed and the only real pain is with the 2 web browsers.
Yeah same here. I would be happy using Firefox as a flatpak or snap if everything worked ootb.
