minus-squareboredsquirrellinkfedilink6•8 months ago“But the Calamares versions have an install option without Snaps” Well that also doesnt have a webbrowser and will install snaps the second you want one
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•edit-28 months agoSo they have somewhere a dpkg hook but still install it if you toggle that option?
minus-squareboredsquirrellinkfedilink9•edit-28 months agoIt is the same thing. Just that base Ubuntu supposedly doesnt have snap, but sudo apt install firefox installs snap and then snap firefox. So not sure why the base install doesnt have snap, but it mailny lacks FF and TB which are only available as snap and will automatically pull snap in.
minus-square@zecglink1•8 months agoYou should add a PPA before installing so it has a source for non-snap Firefox
