I have Mint (you mean Ubuntu Mint?). Firefox is in a snap.

There is no such thing as Ubuntu mint.

And while linux mint derived from Ubuntu, the snap service is disabled by default while iirc system utilities (like the software manager) are provided as flatpaks.

They're making the distinction because there are two Linux Mints, LMDE Which is based on Debian, and the Ubuntu variant, which is just called Linux Mint. It is not officially called Ubuntu Mint, I believe that was a colloquialism.

Careful saying there is no such thing, this is Linux, somebody will up and make it out of spite.

I mean, there is a Hannah Montana Linux

He means Linux Mint [0], a fork of Ubuntu with a fork of Gnome and snaps disabled by default. Is there even an Ubuntu Mint? You are probably confusing it with another name.
