How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

I hate fucking snap. It might be enough to make me switch distros if Ubuntu keeps up with it (which I am sure they intend to).

The continual "you have new snaps" or whatever it was message every time I'm just trying to have a web browser open made me eventually figure out how to install firefox for real on all of my computers.

EDIT: I think you may have convinced me to try out Debian on my next OS installation.

Try debian, they improved so much over the past decade, they're a better Ubuntu than Ubuntu now without any bullshit.

What do you mean "improved"? Ubuntu is based on Debian.

It used to be really outdated and missing new applications, with a kernel 1 major version behind.

All that is fixed, they even have good support for new architectures like riscv on par with Ubuntu.
