2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

I was under the impression the latest "firefox" package was a kind of "meta" package that caused the snap to get installed instead.

Certainly seems that way according to: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firefox

Note that 22.04 is described as a transitional package to snap.

Apt does use debian packages (.deb files), but on ubuntu it uses ubuntus repositories.

Even worse than I thought, then :/
