alkisgYeah I'm pondering switching 1000+ schools from 20.04/firefox to 22.04/google-chrome just to avoid snap...10:36
alkisgIf they offered an option to "install snap normally in /usr/share without all the mounts and autoupdates and sandboxing" then I wouldn't have an issue with it...10:38
sixwheeledbeastchrome is snap10:38
alkisggoogle-chrome, not chromium-browser10:38
alkisgThe   one from google10:38
sixwheeledbeastew10:39
alkisgOh I prefer it to snaps :)10:39
sixwheeledbeastchromium beta is available as ppa10:39
alkisgI've set up a ppa with chromium for 20.04 in .deb form, but I'm just cloning the one from 18.04 there..10:39
alkisgBtw, in 21.10 I'm constantly getting an ayatana-indicator-printers crash, is anyone using 21.10? Do you have that issue?10:40
sixwheeledbeastI stick to LTS10:45
alkisgMe too, I'm only installing 21.10 to fix bugs for the upcoming 22.0410:46
sixwheeledbeast/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/10:46
alkisgNot bad; hope someone does that for firefox too :)10:48
sixwheeledbeastI was thinking the nightly ppa 10:50
alkisgOh 21.10 has both pulseaudio AND pipewire? Erm... at least it uses < 500 MB RAM right after booting to the desktop and opening an xterm (after removing snap)10:50
alkisggrep -i categories firefox.desktop => Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;WebBrowser;10:53
alkisg==> I've no idea how firefox ends up in a "photo collections" menu...10:53
m4talkisg: the new Collections menu is a change that pulls icons in from e.g. panel i think20:50
m4ti saw the same upgrading to mate 1.26 via ppa in 20.0420:50
m4tin order to disable the menu a small patch is needed to mozo20:51
