The article is mainly about the new version of Rescuezilla, which—as I understand it—is a bootable ISO for disk image backup and restoration based on Ubuntu. They have a new version based on Ubuntu 25.04 and they released a fix for the Ubuntu 24.10 based version.
Firefox returns to the Ubuntu 24.10 build, thanks to a switch to Mozilla’s official DEB packages, rather than the snap-based delivery that didn’t play nicely with Rescuezilla’s chroot-based build system.
This is an edge case, but it shows that adding an extra layer of complexity (containerization) to how your software runs will not only have problems, it will sometimes not work at all.
