I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god
minus-square@Tattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoI’ve never used snaps and never been forced to use them.
minus-squareKarnalinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year ago“been forced” part is definitely true for Firefox and Thunderbird packages. Snap packages takes precedence over deb package, if I remember it correctly.
minus-square@psud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 year agoIt is difficult to switch out the Firefox snap for the deb. If you install anything from the easy-to-use software store it’ll be a snap. I’m glad I know my way around the terminal tools
minus-square@psud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoThe deb is in the Ubuntu repositories by default.
minus-square@Tattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoBut I just installed Firefox with apt-get. Fairly certain it doesn’t install the snap version that way.

Best way is to add Mozilla deb repo,IMO.
The deb is in the Ubuntu repositories by default.
But I just installed Firefox with apt-get. Fairly certain it doesn’t install the snap version that way.
Can you check if you already have Mozilla deb repo setup on your ubuntu installation?
