This is interesting information!
I have the chromium and chromium-chromedriver packages installed via
apt. I wonder if that is why my example (headless) can work without
overriding executable_path? chromium-chromedriver ships a
/usr/bin/chromedriver that's a shell script that exec's
/snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver.

No. I get
seleniumwhy.py:10: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated,
please pass in a Service object
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=driver_path)
Traceback (most recent call last):

(The process started from chrome location
/snap/chromium/current/command-chromium.wrapper is no longer running, so
ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
Meanwhile --headless emits the same DeprecationWarning, but works.
I'm also on Ubuntu 20.04 today (was on 19.10 when I filed the bug). Possibly
relevant: I use the Ubuntu on Wayland session.
