The day I went to install something with APT and it forced installed the Snap with no easy way to tell it not to was the last day I ever ran Ubuntu on my PC

I recently tried Ubuntu.
Wait, no, I fought Ubuntu.

Firefox was snap. OK, remove it and apt install. Nope, that installs a snap. Now, one more thing, for some reason uninstalling the snap version of Firefox took several minutes each time where it was “disconnecting” it from a bunch of things, or something along those lines.

So I followed the Mozilla guide for Firefox installation on Ubuntu. Did it work? No. The higher priority setting for Mozilla repo from their guide didn’t work.
Finally, I found the answer on OMG Ubuntu, and I could finally install the regular Firefox package.

i purged snapd and moved to flatpak, its pretty great.
