Doesn't that come down to what one defines as stable? To me LTS stable is just stagnant, but I prefer my software to be up-to-date.

- Firefox (snap) continues to be updated.

- Stable in that it's at a xx.xx.3 release state and has been thoroughly put through its paces. :)

- We work with our partners to make sure we are able to provide the best experience possible. In this case, we use OEM C as we have patches and fixes applied to that kernel set by our partners (AMD, etc). Regressions still occur of course, but are less frequent on LTS.

Appreciate the kind words. We are working like mad, and with a tiny team, it limits what we'd like to have done. But thankfully our partners are amazing, which helps.

Anything that requires snaps can stay well away from my system, as I've never had good experiences with them compared to real packages (or even flatpaks, which seem to solve the problem snaps are trying to solve without being awful).
