## Cubbli 22
### Testing
C22 has rolled out.
It deprecates older distributions.
C18-hosts will be kicked out of the network on 2023; C22 will not receive anything but security upgrades.
Cubbli 22 is currently in development and will soon fully roll out, but it is still a little rough around the edges.
If you are okay with it, and still want to participate in testing it, here is how:
### Upgrading
0. Backup your dearest files, especially those inside of applications. Upgrade script should leave your home directory intact, but things like browser bookmarks and histories will be wiped out, if you don't save them. It is good practice to do it anyway once in a while.

1.`sudo cubbli-reinstall`
2. Wait as C22 installs
There are few problems we know of in Cubbli 22, but since we have rather limited scope of usage for it, we don't know everything.
You can help by reporting any issues you encounter in this repository as an Issue with Cubbli22-tag.
### Firefox
#### Solution
```
sudo snap remove --purge firefox
sudo apt purge firefox
sudo apt install cubbli-firefox
```
This will most likely be fixed, but it is good to know still.
#### Reason
Firefox is officially distributed to Ubuntu only as a snap-installation, which doesn't work on installations where home-folder is in Network File System (NFS), such as Cubblis. Lengthy blog post [here](https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/SnapsVersusNFSHomedirs)
