From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

tldr;
canonical ...
They don't respect your setting on OS version updates either.
I was running 22.04 with the firefox ppa, but the minute i shifted from 22.04 lts to 22.10, they reinstalled the firefox snap and a bunch of new ones as well. Ive purged them all again, but it looks like every update will bw this same fight. I ahoulsnt have to write an ansible playbook to fight my OS vendor.
Debain 12 with flatpac to fill the gaps is looking better and better by the day.
Seems like canonical wants to be the only software distributor for their OS. Wouldn't suprise me if they completely disabled the option to install other repos and DEB packages soon.
agreed
Disrespecting preferences, having to fight the OS.... hm, where have I heard that before? 🤔
