Not sure what others are doing to use Ubuntu (23.04) without snaps, but this is what I am doing:

  • for Firefox I found a guide here
  • for chromium I am actually using the Linux Mint packages (which work absolutely fine), and I have just set up a small repository I can add to apt:
deb [arch=amd64 allow-insecure=yes] http://snapless.cmeerw.net victoria upstream
  • this just syncs from Linux Mint and only republishes chromium in the Packages file (with downloads redirected to a Linux Mint mirror). BTW, I am not signing these…

What are others doing?

      NixOS is amazing. I use it as a daily currently, but I haven’t yet unlocked the full power of Nix.
