I love me some Linux, but I’m going to need an explaining, that’s a little deep of a cut for me.

Well, you don’t need to understand all of the context; I just spotted melroy in the wild, that’s all.

One of the maintainers (and possibly the founder) of mbin, a fork of kbin, which is a fediverse platform that combines lemmy and microblog while lookin’ gr8. The fork is actually maintained and has actual versions and changelogs while kbin has 3 other very great features and extremely sporadic maintainership (kbin.social, their flagship instance, is currently down as we speak.).

Who am I? That is also a question I sometimes ask myself to be honest.

For context, this was indeed a response on Snap, where they do not allow you to install deb files under the latest Ubuntu 24.04. Unless you use the command line, which of course I understand. Just run: apt install <deb>. However, my point is that an average Ubuntu user is now unable to easily install Deb files under Ubuntu, which is insane. Especially, because Ubuntu is build on top of Debian.
