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 toyed with the idea of gentoo. Not because I want a rolling distro, but because of that 4chan meme.

      Gentoo is very good actually, specially if you have a modern CPU.

      I tried it on my desktop, and I never want anything else.
