I feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Now you just need to remove snaps. And then when Canonical still forces them on you, you move to Linux Mint, but then Linux mint won't be updated as often as you'd like. So then you move to Arch. Then you'll really be one of us

    Isn't that the least updated of the above choices? (if you run stable)

    Mint to Arch?

    That's like saying: "ok now that you have driven your for first car for a few weeks it's time to fly your first plane. Good luck."

    Mint to Manjaro so you can still claim you're on arch btw but cling onto your sanity until Manjaro devs inevitability break something

    I've never used snaps and never been forced to use them.

    "been forced" part is definitely true for Firefox and Thunderbird packages. Snap packages takes precedence over deb package, if I remember it correctly.

    It is difficult to switch out the Firefox snap for the deb. If you install anything from the easy-to-use software store it'll be a snap.

    I'm glad I know my way around the terminal tools

    But I just installed Firefox with apt-get. Fairly certain it doesn't install the snap version that way.
