It's the firefox snap, nobody needs to pay for that campaign.


I'm using firefox snap for many months without issues. What's your problem with it?


Snaps broke Gnome window tracking for my employer's custom webapp launcher. Snapd places a folder at ~/snap that's owned by the user. My dad deleted it, "What's that? I don't need that." Users in my workplace deleted it. Messes snaps up real good. Sometimes they lost data. It's been reported as a bug since... let me check... 2016. But instead of fixing it, Canonical decided to shove Snapd down my throat by packaging all relevant webbrowsers and their own LXD daemon through snap and snap only. The DEB versions of said software are shims for the snaps.

I'm moving my whole employer's infrastructure and my family members to RockyLinux.
