I mean you can still get that experience on Ubuntu if you want to install Firefox as an apt package instead of being forced to install it as a snap package.
I understand that. I actually used the snap one for a long time but then was having issues with it crashing a lot and switched over. I doubt most have the same issues I was having.
I was just pointing out that if you want to make it difficult for yourself, you can haha.
That’s mostly the browser, isn’t it? I’m old and cant follow this but it looks like the install is one click and then its theme choosing and other first-startup stuff in the browser?
it’s a parody of the memes where it’s typing commands for 20 minutes to install a web browser

Both are official and work well so there isn’t really a need for it. But some people just want to make their experience harder because snap bad.

No, the Firefox snap genuinely is awful. It takes forever to load and runs like ass.
idk what to tell you, I used it on an old Hp laptop from 2008 with an HDD. Ran just fine. Maybe try it again in 2025
Too many screens and clicks. Where’s my single-click browser install? Linux will never become mainstream on the desktop.
no, it should just know what browser I want. it should read my minds or whatever. do you expect me to take those 5 whole clicks?
Agreed. I stand corrected. Fuck those clicks.
I want just rawr

Might be. It’s a deeply sarcastic comment. 😊
