@awfulwoman@indieweb.social I would argue that this is another example of Ubuntu no longer being the right choice for ease of use. I think I read something a while ago about this being a deliberate choice by Canonical to discourage people from installing random debs off the internet rather than a bug.

Anyway I point new users at Linux Mint rather than Ubuntu now, but obviously everyone has their different opinions which is probably part of the problem. 🤷
