    Even apt is deliberately broken:

    “[If] You use ‘sudo apt install chromium’, you get a Snap package of Chromium instead of Debian”

      This was where I rage quit. Who in the hell thought it was a good idea?

        Same here, it’s the reason why I kicked Ubuntu off my laptop. They removed any way to choose and made it such a pain to get around the Snap bullshit. I’m on Linux because I want to choose what I do with my system.

      Why does this break apt? Just because, I assume (I am using Debian btw), it installs a placeholder deb-package which, while running the postinst script, installs chromium via snap commands?

        It doesn’t break apt, apt just prefers snaps now.

        This is as they designed it.

        The issue here is that people don’t like this other thing and so the distribution which has been moving towards this other thing for like a decade now I guess is the bad guy for continuing to work towards that goal.
