Snaps. Why? Please Stop
Oh don't get me started on that. I use Firefox on a work machine and I spent a number of hours troubleshooting why it couldn't access the Internet when I was connected on VPN.
I suspected it had something to do with snapd, so I downloaded the .tar.gz release of Firefox and it worked. I kept investigating and figured it must have something to do with snap.firefox.firefox apparmor profile because the VPN client was symlinking the /etc/resolv.conf to /opt/.../resolv.conf
However, updating the apparmor profile didn't help so I ultimately realized that snap has a hardcoded list of mounts that it mounts into the app container [1] and there's no way to change this.
There are a number of reasons to hate on snapd, but this almost made me flip the table.

DEAR UBUNTU…
Of course, nothing's stopping anyone from contributing more complete selinux support. Looks like they take external pull requests in a pretty straightforward manner.

Why I like using Snaps
the system is actually open https://github.com/snapcore/snapd, its just the url they use is their own
- I am installing Ubuntu
- Firefox Cannot Open Zoom Links

Annoying message keep appearing can't fix by apt update and apt upgrade.
That's not true. The git is here.

How is this "for humans" in any reasonable universe? The firefox Snap mess should have a better solution.
thanks for that. Following your link I arrived at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/12495 which covers the code. 22 commits, 19 files touched, this was a big job which indicates a little bit of a design miss, it will be very good to have this. It's the last remaining piece of "firefox snap sucks" I think.

It absolutely 100% can be true.
As an example: Windows Services for Linux 2 used a special init daemon to interact with the host OS.
That meant no systemd. That meant that the `systemctl` program wasn't there.
This baffled legions, armies, of wannabe sysadmins.

People on the whole have no idea how this stuff works, and they just copy magic incantations from StackOverflow to get stuff to happen. If that doesn't work, then this OS is broken. The end.
For these guys, WSL was broken.

He "fixed" it. Systemd now works in WSL2. All those guides for noobs now work. Everyone is happy.
In a world where tools like Flatpak and Snap are proliferating and it's driving deep divisions between Linux distros, if you think the average person struggling with Linux is going to use `ldd` to work out where the dependencies for something live, I'm afraid you are a deep guru who lives on a different plane of existence.
We now have widely-used packaging systems which simply embed an apps entire dependency tree into a package to avoid people having to work out the difference between `apt` and `rpm`. Thousands of terabytes of disk are being burned to make this stuff go away.
Yes, this is too hard. Way too hard.

Broadcom to Cut Almost 1,300 VMware Jobs in California After Takeover
Seems to more of a Defender issue than a WSL one, see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8995
After adding exclusions for the fsnotifier-wsl process and and both variants of the WSL distro path my disk performance was improved.
Adding the idea64.exe process also helped since I was trying to run IntelliJ against projects inside WSL.
