Linux Mint: am I a joke to you
I’ll have a…
Meme that says ‘Ubuntu bad’
How original
And lots of upvotes
Daring today aren’t we
It’s fun to rag on how much of a POS your first car was, even though you secretly remember it fondly. That’s Ubuntu’s place now.
Mint gets rid of snaps, distros that don’t are just bad imo.
I wish eventually it’d become the he facto version. But Debian is so slow to update. Apparently kids these days get anxious if they don’t have a system update every other hour and they buy new hardware every weekend. So Debian is too old school to be useful to them.
I’m curious what do people here consider “old” since that’s the top complaint about Debian? It’s never more than a year or two behind “bleeding edge” distros. When I think “old”, I’m thinking 10, 15 years ago. That’s considered “old” in the Windows world, but I guess that’s super ancient geological history in the Linux world.
Because snaps are terrible. They constantly break parts of apps for no reason. If you have container issues with a flatpak, just use flatseal to punch a hole through the container. With snaps, people will tell you to install the non-snap version because that’s easier than beating snap into submission. I learned that the hard way when I had a university project with kubernetes and docker was installed as a snap. I spent way too much time trying to make it work at all before giving up and switching to a VM on my work laptop where it went surprisingly smooth without snaps.
Flatpaks are better in every way and since this isn’t about money, we should all just move on and use the best tool for the job.
But what does canonical think should happen when you run sudo apt install firefox and press Y?
That’s right, you now have firefox as a snap. Have fun waiting for 5 seconds every time you start it.
Shit like that scares new users away from linux as a whole.
Every youtube review
Bashing Ubuntu is getting really fucking old.
