The way they did it shows lack of experience as well, as this will enforce the change to all users rather than simply change the default profile settings upon creation.

...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
