Noooo....why?!?! :mad:

Just upgraded from LTS 20.04 to 22.04 beta - it's close enough to release date so I thought I'd try it out.

Found out Canonical and Mozilla have some deal now that Firefox is no longer available as a .deb file and can only be installed using snap. Actually installing Firefox will automatically install snap and Firefox. (Looks like the same for Chromium)

Geez...it's slow as hell opening! Why the hell did they make this decision?!

Mumble....mumble....heads off to Mint downloads
