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.
A fate worse than death
aw snap
ewww, snap
Worse than getting a Windows 10S installation?
About the same really
Who cares, I’m already bloated and dysfunctional.
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
You won’t like Silksong then
I never chase bugs, i only create them
I applied for them once. Went through multiple rounds of bullshit, to just be turned down without giving me a reason or any feedback. One of the rounds was answering a list of inane questions such as “what would your highschool friends say about you?”. Never again.
Like the onion on your belt, those stupid questions were the HR style of the time. No one understood why or what those question were supposed to reveal about the applicant. Just that you needed ask them.
The dangers of letting HR attend conventions…
Why is a package manager doing psychoanalysis on you?

What the fuck?
One of the most useless coworkers I ever had got a job at Canonical. He also seemed like just the guy to be hyped to take about his high school friends despite being in his late thirties at the time.
He was one of three people I ever knew to actually get fired from that company, and that was only after he just casually stole about 20 thousand dollars of equipment from work. He returned most of it and they agreed to not call the cops just fire him.
Anyway, guess I’m just saying I don’t trust their ability to correctly select good employees. Also some of their work is amateur hour.
The main two things they got right:
- Debian testing was a better basis for a good balance of current yet workable software.
- Making it super easy to install Nvidia drivers, ultimately making then the favored choice of the Nvidia centric ai market.
Their actual technical developments have been underwhelming or actively against what I would want to see.
Snap me daddy
Needs more JPEG.
How about less: https://img.gvid.tv/i/33Gig3oS.png
Maybe I took away too much jpeg.
No my lsblk!
they really did do this to lsblk? too bad I use Artix :)
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
Also makes bitlocker and Tpm secured Luks encryption more straightforward if you don’t possibly incur one platforms bootloader before the other.
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
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.
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.
How about now?
