Canonical has poisoned search results for many apps plus a Linux distro name. For example, Googling “Spotify elementary OS” returns an auto-generated page on the Snap Store site that requires using a terminal, installing a whole package manager as root, and missing out on details and updates in AppCenter.
elementary would point you to Flathub where you can install w/two clicks and then get AppCenter integration.
@edafe@simon_brooke@bthalpin Also, if you don't want to go to all the hassle of a distro switch, it is possible to un-snapify an Ubuntu distro by using PPA alternatives. Here's how to get back to normal Firefox:
#Mozilla now has an official .deb and matching apt repo for installing #Firefox on #Debian based distributions. If you want the latest stable release instead of using the ESR release in Debian, or if you want a real native package instead of using the #Ubuntu snap, this might be a good option for you.
#Fedora ponders dropping X11, #Ubuntu 23.10 beta, the Nouveau driver primary maintainer quits, and LTS kernels will only get 2 years of support: this week’s #Linux and #OpenSource news video is packed!
I have a Dell laptop, running Ubuntu 22.04, with the following buttons around the trackpad. The trackpad works, and the three above it work (left, middle and right click as you'd expect).
I want the ones BELOW the trackpad (4 and 5) to be left and right click. Currently for some reason the left one is mapped to middle-click. How can I remap it? The other one does nothing at all.
xinput doesn't even know those buttons exists, and tells me I'm running xinput against an Xwayland server.
Ubuntu 23.10 is out, but downloads have been temporarily disabled, because they found malicious translations containing hate speech (it seems the language affected was Ukrainian)
