I just did the 22.04 upgrade thing, and it seems that Firefox will be held at v 99 if you don't have snapd. So beware of old/held packages as you update.
Another delightful thing I found is that Ubuntu took its very own special path in the "Sensible things to do in the Python 2 / Python 3" debacle: remove Python 2, but don't link python3 to python. Move fast and break stuff is very tiring when you're constantly getting beaten up like this.
Upstream python says not to call python3 as python. So Unbuntu did it correctly. Python 3 code calls /usr/bin/python3 (or probably better yet /usr/bin/env python3) and legacy python 2 code calls /usr/bin/python. -- Len Sorensen
