From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Install Flatpak and the gnome plugin and be done with Snap.

the ppa for 24.04 is live and you can still deb version of the app on it. by type: cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref

To prevent repository packages from triggering the installation of Snap,

this file forbids snapd from being installed by APT.

For more information: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html

Package: snapd Pin: release a=* Pin-Priority: -10 EOF Change the /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla Package: * Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: Thunderbird* Pin: release o=Ubuntu Pin-Priority: -1

you can grab the ppa and no more snap
