This. If you want to go back to the days without systemd and writing invit scripts manually, knock yourselves out. The rest of us will continue to live in the modern world of systemd, pulse audio (and now pipe wire).

Honestly it’s one of my personal reasons for disliking AI. I (let alone most of our kids) don’t want or need a reason to think less, let alone own less of my content. FFS.

That’s where I’m at with reddit, and where I’ve been with Facebook for years. Though, interestingly, Slim Social for Facebook has gotten around this quite well for Facebook, for everything except for messages until very recently, where you have to ask for the desktop site.

I’ve never cared for mint because I don’t really want my Linux to look like Windows. Which is what mint does.

To be fair, my husband is about as far from tech savvy as they come, and he’s been running Linux for years on his laptop. Every 2-3 years I upgrade him. Sometimes just within distros (Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 say. Other times, I’ve moved him distros (to fedora) or back to Ubuntu. Otherwise? I don’t touch his system. He’s been happy for years.

Yeah. Part of me is annoyed by snaps. But, tbh, having tried fedora and opensuse over the last few years, I don’t quite see how they’re so much worse than freaking Flatpaks. And at least they come gods damned fully enabled.
