Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Beta Released

[Nth_man]

Nth_man Congratulations you missed the point. Fedora also comes with loads of distributionism.

144Hz, Congratulations, this time you didn't said other people "GTFO" and this time you didn't even asked money for Red Hat.

JensRex First step after installing Ubuntu is to get rid of apparmor which removes snapd as a reverse dependency: sudo apt purge apparmor && sudo rm -rf /etc/apparmor*

# apt purge snapd
# apt autoremove --purge

chromium-browser on Ubuntu is now snap only, so that's not really an option if you want to use it. They might make other apps snap-only as well in the future.

... which is what Canonical should be doing in the first place.

Nah, cause apt doesn't lock you into the Canonical repos.

I love snap the ONLY way to install acetreamplayer

Are you saying there's no ppa repo or something for Chromium?

ppas do not generally offer official support. This can be a security risk, and doubly so when a web browser is concerned.

choromium-snap doesn't work with plasma on focal currently and there hasn't been any integration work on it since November.
Unless that's fixed soonish, I'd imagine Kubuntu will have their own chromium-browser package which doesn't require snap.
