Right, I wasn't sure anymore. So the upgrade path would be 18.04 to 20.04, chromium-browser is updated and installs the chromium snap, then 20.04 to 22.04, chromium-browser is removed but the snap was previously installed. Not such a bad UX, after all. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
