I have no idea why Canonical moved Ubuntu to rely so heavily on snap, it’s wasteful of limited system resources. Removing it sped up both my Ubuntu machines significantly (especially the one with only 4GB of RAM).
It’s honestly amazing that they haven’t abandoned it like they did with Unity, Mir, and Ubuntu Touch.
No, don’t turn me into a snap! AHH-
I don’t like the fact that they’re piggybacking off of the “Rewrite everything in Rust” bandwagon & replacing the copyleft GNU core-utils with a more permissive core-util
Most coreutils are in dire need of a replacement tho.
Don’t you mean upgrading
Needs more JPEG.
How about less: https://img.gvid.tv/i/33Gig3oS.png
Maybe I took away too much jpeg.
AUR you kidding me?
Is this some kind of joke I’m too “I use Arch btw” to understand?I’m not into bug chasing. A kink too far
I never chase bugs, i only create them
I am a flatpak, what does this mean for me?
You get to build a sandcastle in your little box and ignore everyone else. :)
Flatpaks bringing their own sandbox to the beach just in case the beach doesn’t have sand.
im on mint your threats mean nothing
No my lsblk!
they really did do this to lsblk? too bad I use Artix :)
Snap me daddy
Would. managed to turn a few apps into snaps, either from source or by repackaging their binaries.
Question for Linux people - I have heard issues with dual booting with Windows (IE Windows trying to fuck up the dual boot), but I don’t want to give up my ability to play games that might not be compatible with Proton.
Is it less of an issue if I dual boot using an entirely separate drive?
You can always dual boot and chose boot order in the bios menu. That’s a bulletproof method. That can only fail if windows fastboot make it difficult to get to the bios menu.
Get a seperate drive, Windows is increasingly greedy and likes to overtake your bootloader, especially on it’s frequent updates. There are also issues with how Windows encrypts your drive. Just occasionally expect to have to tell Windows to fuck off every so often. I just run one of these scripts when it happened on the computer I used to dual on.
Its essentially a non-issue with a separate drive
Not an issue that I’ve heard if you’ve got seperate drives. It’s also far easier to install as you don’t need to partition anything. Just choose the new drive during installation and it’ll wipe it and setup the filesystem and everything for you.
I was on linkedin last night and saw Canonical is actually hiring and there are a lot of open positions.
If anyone wants to reccomend me to move to something other than ubuntu, please recommend something else to me.
Actual thread with deets : https://lemmy.world/post/35450797
Kubuntu.
That still has snap
After reading your post, just use Debian. You need a rock solid, reliable, daily driver and want .deb compatibility. That is Debian. Debian 13 was also just released and it’s excellent.
This is terrible advise
the reason I’m unsure is because of juggling things like JACK and whatnot conflicts, nvidia drivers and other things like that Ubuntu (or at least, this flavour I want to move to) has a reputation for managing well.
Broken link.
Who cares, I’m already bloated and dysfunctional.
A snap package killed my parents when they wouldn’t pay $4.99 for it.
A fate worse than death
Worse than getting a Windows 10S installation?
About the same really
aw snap
ewww, snap
