No contest, it's awful. But you can work around it. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk

  Can confirm, I uninstalled snapd the day I installed Ubuntu 22.04 and I have been running it for months. Firefox seems to be the only popular package that redirects to a snap (out of my own usage this whole time, at least). I don't know why they did that, and I am a bit worried I will have to abandon Ubuntu if they move more packages to snaps in the next release. But for now all you need to do is the workaround above for Firefox.

    LXD is also distributed only as snap. I think they are killing it by doing this. It's a shame.

      They did the same with Docker.

        No, docker.io is available in APT: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/docker.io https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/docker.io

          I stand corrected. It looks like there's both a deb and a snap [1]. I now remember getting confused about which one to install, mentally making a note about Docker having been snap'ified, and counting one more strike (perhaps the final one) towards eradicating snap from my system.

        I always installed it from docker's own repo.
