The old gatekeepers of music made it complicated. The answer is half of Skip and Flip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley_Oop_(song)
Which is the original, and which are the covers? Or are they all three covers of a single that never made it onto Billboard's charts?
On 1960-05-30, two singles titled "Alley-Oop" broke into the Billboard Hot 100: one by the Hollywood Argyles, the other by Dante and the Evergreens. They reached their peak positions, #1 and #15 respectively, in the same week as well: 1960-07-11.
A third version by the Dyna-Sores premiered the week after the first two (1960-06-06), but it peaked at #59 and lasted only three weeks.
All three versions are about the comic strip character, have virtually identical lyrics, & are in the same style.
Okay, so there's a technicality. I could also install Firefox from the Android subsystem's Google Play app, but it would be the phone/tablet version, not a desktop/laptop version, which means the UX, UI, & add-on ecosystem are significantly restricted.
@arielmt assuming the distribution you're on has manpages and the software to render them installed by default!
The only reason I use flatpak at all is because, in Google's tightly controlled walled garden of ChromeOS, it's literally the only way to install Firefox.

The flatpak "app" system has always felt like amateurish techbro crap to me, but today I finally put my finger on why.
The website is loaded with how-tos for installing it & packaged applications ("apps"), but there's not even a hint of how to maintain, manage, remove, or update them.
It has a set of halfway decent manpages that *do* say how to do these things, but there's literally zero reference! You have to just know they exist, & you have to just know `man flatpak` is how you start.
I convinced Scientific American to publish a scholarly article on werewolves and space exploration.

Arabic is one of the globe's most gorgeous languages. Its speakers wrote some of the finest prose. Yet it is also precise enough to be used by scientists and mathematicians. It is decorative enough to be bas relief in the world's most incredible buildings. Spoken, it is poetic, yet capable of an easy wit. As calligraphy, it's art. 1/3 of the stars in the sky have Arabic names.
But some clod can just breeze into CNN and call it ugly and not be challenged, and even invited back to do it again.
