Magna carta only created rights for the oligarchs of the time, many of which have descents today with the same inherited wealth. You don't have to dig that deeply in the UK society to find the old aristocracy alive and well and still above others and usually the law.

> Debian is like Ubuntu but without all the cruft.

Unfortunately for me, I only seem to like the font rendering in Ubuntu, any other distro I tried (and I habitually try lots) don't seem to get it quite right (for my taste anyway).

> I had to google for how to install the non-snap version

Out of curiosity, how did you do it? I ended up downloading the firefox tar from their website and setting that the default browser. Could not find any trustworthy deb packages.
