I didn't try to run a command, I ran this exact script: https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/blob/master/i...

Actually you could be right - that script does run `python3` after apt-get'ing everything it needs. Anyway..

I didn't look into it any further because I didn't feel like investing any time into learning the 'Ubuntu way'.

I installed Debian instead and it worked perfectly without any grief. It also worked perfectly on PopOS when I used it a few days later on a different machine.

Canonical can make whatever changes they want of course, I've just become increasingly less patient when it comes to machines not acting how I have come to expect. So I'll just stick to what works. Oh man - I'm becoming one of those old dudes...
