Yet somehow, through only apt updates, it brought back LibreOffice, Firefox, and snapd.
IIRC, it was something to do with ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-release meta packages, which I never intentionaly installed.
I’m probably the only person who uninstalls the Firefox and LibreOffice packages and replaces them with the flatpaks, but this seemed like an oversight and dependency hell that comes from using the derivative of a derivative distribution.
