Yes, from the Mozilla PPA. One may also want to prevent snapd from being installed again by pinning it with a sufficiently low negative priority.

Of course one should avoid using the originally provided GTK software under KDE, as it’s also spamming the app drawer.

It should work the same as for the Ubuntu -> Kununtu transition: Install some KDE Plasma desktop metapackage, logout and login using KDE, then remove the libgtk* packages to uninstall the Mate/Cinnamon desktop and it’s associated applications. One can reinstall the desired packages, e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, Synaptic, afterwards.

It doesn’t come with KDE

It doesn’t come with KDE preinstalled

You can e.g. mintify your Kununtu by installing Linux Mint packages instead of the original Ubuntu packages (add the corresponding LM repos matching your Ubuntu version and give them a sufficiently higher priority) or, alternatively, install KDE on Linux Mint.

I also think, the facial expression of the young woman shows too much joy for the unwanted present snaps are.

Probably a modification of this.

Strange. The link no longer works for me either. Anyway, it’s here under this post:

Debian is just Ubuntu before they add Snap.

Or, remove snap from Ubuntu:

@fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com posted a how-to to get rid of snap permanently by using apt pinning:

Competence

No. It will boot the previous kernel, but the user experience will be at least suboptimal if some packages have already been removed during the upgrade, but the upgrade stopped at some point because a downloaded package was corrupt, leaving lots of dependent packages unconfigured. In case networking doesn’t work, it’s also inconvenient to manually download the affected package on another machine and transfer it with a usb stick onto the computer to restart the upgrade.

Well, as I’m using Debian, maybe I’m a more cautious type.

If the update is successful. If there are failures in critical steps, well…

I do “;” to definitely run the shutdown after the update process exits.

If you’re able to successfully boot the machine afterwards is not your concern?

Yes, in this command one liner, the system should not power off when the update took too long.

Or is yes somehow supposed to take care of this?

No, yes is simply answering all questions asked during the update procedure (start upgrade, replace config files, restart services) with “yes”.

MSI files are actually comparable to Linux packages, from what I understand, in that the program that does the installing (and which gets root/admin permissions for that) comes with the OS itself.

Neat. I’ve always wondered why e.g. 7zip is distributed as both, MSI and exe installer. Now that makes somewhat sense to me.

@unknown1234_5@kbin.earth

I’d say it’s more about that Linux packages aren’t (distributed as) compiled binary installers (appimages are executables, but no installers), like msi or exe installers for Windows, but (as) essentially plain archives.

Actually, Elmo didn’t found Tesla.

But why does it say 2 - 53? Is it the due date and the bottle was manufactured in 1943?

You may also just add the LMDE repo (Faye is Bookworm, Gigi is Trixie) or the official Mozilla one and install the standard, non ESR version of Firefox from that one.
