Firefox now only available via snap on Ubuntu
Another good reason to ditch a distro once honest, well done, but things change, now just a distro that push <i>commercial crap</i>. It&#x27;s not a bold statement, snap, flatpack, appimage exists ONLY for commercial purposes.<p>The FLOSS world works with<p>- devs :: who write and publish code without the need to support any specific distro, packaging etc, many <i>also</i> package for their own favorite distro but that&#x27;s a mere choice, many others just manually build their own code to have is hyper-fresh;<p>- packagers :: who package &quot;upstream&quot; code, some are distro core developers who package system things, others more or less casual packagers who package various software they use&#x2F;need&#x2F;like. They all provide patches as needed, ideas, well done bugreports to devs, they are not &quot;a burden&quot; but the core of the model, the ones who provide quality testing and reporting to devs, something no end-users do without a tremendous background noise, something no commercial software devs can get, the key to hi quality of FLOSS;<p>- generic users :: who profit from a complete distro, the one that fist their need most, offering casual bugreports, ideas, background noise as any casual user do, but filtered by distro community itself and distro packager the best kind of &quot;data lake&quot; that matched to packages form the best kind of automated expert system;<p>&quot;modern&quot; <i>app-only</i> packages serve a sole purpose: cut the packagers, cut off the distro variety pushing distros to mere cargo ship of apps, well separating &quot;code producer&quot; to &quot;customers&quot;, something harmful for FLOSS but vital for commerce, the sole way a proprietary software house to stay afloat without the need to give code to a community, without the need of a community that help, of course, but also demand and pretend useful features and not anti-users lock-in.<p>IMVHO FSF should write a formal statements: supporting those <i>limited</i> and <i>limiting</i> (they can&#x27;t work at system level) package systems means supporting commercial crap against FLOSS so distro who choose them <i>must be considered</i> Troy Horses in the FLOSS land. Unfortunately FSF receive too many funds by some interested party so I doubt that happen and that&#x27;s another good reason to discuss the actual FLOSS sorry state reviving classic models from usenet to email-based development, modernized in UI&#x2F;frontends terms for young devs, with modern video-tutorials etc, but pushed as much as possible to teach people the FLOSS model not the commercial model in disguise.
