What use to be the PPA that allowed Ubuntu users to use native .deb packages for Firefox has recently changed to the same meta package that forces installation of Snap and the Firefox snap package.
I am having to remove the meta package, then re-uninstall the snap firefox, then re-uninstall Snap, then install pin the latest build I could get (firefox_116.0.3+build2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1_arm64.deb) to keep the native firefox build.
I’m so done with Ubuntu.
I like my apps to be contained somehow. I don’t like all the choices canonical made with snap, but I like containment.
Your responses here tho, yeah. Icky.
I like some things as flatpak or appimage. But not my browsers, I use a hacked in widevine plugin.
I know you do. I want my stuff in containers as much as possible. So maybe be less judgemental about other people wanting to do that, and I won’t be judgementable about you not wanting to do that.
I see where you’re headed… but having automatic updates, when I’m using a specific PPA to keep me off of a particular snap, only to have that PPA then also shove me over without asking right back to the thing the PPA was designed to help me avoid… Not ok. Just close the PPA, don’t make it a trojan horse to install what I didn’t want anyway. That is hostile and makes me very judgemental and a stick in the mud.
I don’t care about that sorry, just commenting on you being a hostile to others about what they choose to do for no reason. Maybe don’t do that.
Yeah, not caring about your incorrect assumption. As for hostile, try this on… Go stuff it, get lost, you’re uninvited.
oh no
You’re being an obvious shill for Ubuntu abusing the debian packaging to force the snap store. Blocking you.
Lol
