From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been having no issues with the Firefox snap on Ubuntu 22.04lts since I upgraded last month.
Then you have a use case that doesn't hit the limits of it's implementation. I am both glad for you, in that it hasn't bit you, and sad for you, in that you have let yourself be sucked into the proprietary ubuntu app store, known as snap.
Lol
You haven't tried to run it in containers, have you?
Why would I? I don't need containers for anything.
