...slightly related question, what is the benefit of using the Debian package, versus the Ubuntu snap?

As a CentOS user, the Ubuntu snap is updated much more often than the EPEL package.

I'm not a Debian user, but Ubuntu 22.04 tried to force snap down my throat with Firefox and it broke the hell out of everything. It turns out that a web-browser needs to run outside of a sandbox, who could have foreseen?!

Anyway, so now I just manage my own updates via the tar.gz because I can't be bothered to rebuild .deb for the releases and hope snap and its flatpak friend go the way of the dodo
