That's funny, because in accordance with my policy I delete snap immediately after install.
Unfortunately Firefox is a snap on Ubuntu (eventually I'll get around to switching to a better distro -- "it's a laptop," I said, "it'll be nice to have Ubuntu deal with everything for me," big mistake).

What are your others? I use signal alot personally and haven't had too many issues.
- Still need a phone number - They refuse to post the app on f-droid (directly) - No 3rd party clients allowed on their servers. - Crypto thing they attempted - I don't trust Moxie, he rubs me the wrong way.

What is this response? Still no indication anyone has been contacted with the reason why it was removed, only that "in the future we will let you know if we remove something, sorry". https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/what-happened-to-signal-desktop...
This is really sad because I've become a huge Ubuntu fanboy in the last year, but this behavior is unacceptable. They need to fix their processes and be more dev friendly or they're going to lose allies.

The rest are all feature requests.

I'm being slightly offtopic here but I really dislike how slow Firefox is to launch since it became a snap package as a default on Ubuntu 22.04. I know I can uninstall the Firefox snap and install it through APT, but I imagine more and more packages will become snaps by default on Ubuntu. And finding out now that it's possible that snaps are part of a walled garden, just like app/play stores are is really bumming me…
They all run KDE, even when they don’t provide it out of the box. You can just install it and use KDE instead of Gnome. I’m a big fan of Fedora. I primarily work on RHEL systems, though, so I’m biased because it’s what I’m used to using.
