Let me reiterate in this venue that I _hate_ Ubuntu snaps. They never work quite well. For example, the way Firefox updates are handled is just abhorrent. You get a notification that there is an update pending, but Firefox needs a restart, but it won't really work unless you do that in the short window that the update is actually retried.

Indeed, it's time for snaps to go. Likewise flatpaks and appimages and all these other things that allegedly simplify application management but just end up making other problems. 路 4 hours ago

It used to be good, lately I鈥檝e had to purge Firefox and snapd off my system, then reinstall Firefox, which is then the right non-snap one. Ubuntu is up to some fuckery, and I鈥檓 just waiting for Debian鈥檚 next release (soon) to ditch Ubuntu. 路 1 day ago
i think a sudo apt install StumpWM should do the job ;) depends on your choice, arch is definitly not mine, and i am using *nix like OSs since 1997. maybe a BSD like system could work for you also fine. 路 1 day ago
@bavarianbarbarian I'm a StumpWM user, no OpenBox for me! :) Still, I do want to switch away from ubuntu. Arch would be the drug of choice. It's just, I use the same computer for work too, and I'd rather have the same distro as the one we have on our servers so that some issues can be avoided. I might still ditch ubuntu and the hell with issues, if I get annoyed enough! Mainly I need time though, which I don't have in plenty atm. 路 1 day ago
get rid of ubuntu and give bunsenlabs a try, great distro. 路 1 day ago
