@dotstdy @mcc yep, the forced snapification of everything (and especially firefox) is the main reason why I won't be installing Ubuntu anywhere anymore. Fool me once and all that. Pity because it used to be the distro I could put on machine I didn't want to get handsy with. Oh well, back to Debian 12 even for non-power users it seems.

@oblomov Can you elaborate a little bit on snapification and why that's bad? I don't have much linux desktop experience outside of loading ElementaryOS for some family. I know what Snap is, but not sure if that's what you're talking about

@oblomov @dotstdy @mcc it's getting to be funny to me that a company self-described as "Canonical" is never able get traction on any of their technology initiatives, every one ends up in a tech preview/public beta state for years without the resources needed to fully work out the issues, before they abandon the project and move onto the next shiny. They are still very popular and have a lot of available documentation to maintain your system, but damn.

@raven667 @oblomov @dotstdy on the other hand I must admit now that I've seen Wayland in its completed state I'm wondering if maybe we shoulda just let Mir happen
