Same, I feel at home in the Cinnamon DE and no matter how tech savvy I am, the GUI software installer is so much more convenient than using the terminal
I have the issue that the snap version can’t browse files whose path includes a hidden dot file/directory in my home directory. It doesn’t seem there’s any clean way for me say “no, I give you explicit permission to read these files.” My workaround was to sudo mount --bind ~/.foo ~/bar and then browse from ~/bar instead. I’m not sure what they think they were preventing me from doing but they failed.
Canonical’s changes to apt could be considered malicious in and of themselves because it installs from a source you didn’t request for, sure seems malicious to me.
Good thing I can just install applications from
aptinstead…user@pc:~$: sudo apt install app The following additional packages will be installed: snapd…oh.
The reason why I’ll switch to Debian soon.
IMO Linux Mint is a great replacement, too, although it does not come with the default-Gnome desktop layout
I always find myself going back to Mint.

Yea, not with
firefox, at least not without switching to some third party repo.I use the ppa because the snap version does not let me use the keypass XC Plug-In or my VPN plug in.
You’re awful brave…

KeePass 2 and KeePassXC are two different programs. KeePassXC is not affected by that issue.
You had one job keepass.

Agreed. Switching out .deb packages in the package manager for snap stubs was a bridge too far, and I went back to Debian.
