I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don’t need Firefox because I’m already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don’t need snaps.

Why is Ubuntu doing this? I get it you like snaps but I don’t, so don’t try to force install it. I had to use apt-mark hold to block the install of snapd and firefox. This is also not an isolated incident. I just checked Reddit and someone made a thread 8 hours back regarding the same issue.

This thing is giving me Microsoft vibes.

    I don’t think it will have any impact tbh

    Historically the flow of code has pretty much been:

    1. Fedora
    2. CentOS stream (as of a couple years ago)
    3. RHEL
    4. CentOS Rocky Linux / Alma Linux

    I think there’s been discussion on what will happen with Rocky/Alma, but nothing should change with Fedora.
