So on my Kubuntu 20.04 it want to install Chromium from snap.
apt info chromium-browser
apt info chromium
One of them is SNAP, one is .deb .
They are unlikely to stay in the tree that
way forever, but for a limited time, depending
on the distro, you may be able to select the one
you really wanted.
Thunderbird might have been available in two formats
for a time, but apparently recently they got rid
of the person doing the .deb one.
You have to look carefully at the goods offered,
to figure out what your options are.
LMDE6 exists for a reason. That's what happens when
other options become "un-tenable". Nothing lasts
forever in this world.
