"Canonical announced it was building an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop."
I don't like the sound of this.
I can only imagine what a call to 'mount' is going to look like.
There might be a delay
Sounds exactly like the Snap version of Fedora Silverblue. Which is actually pretty great.
If only snap packages weren't utter garbage and the authors actually tested them before pushing them out.
“Test it in production.”
Ah yes, the Microsoft way.
Yeah, it sounds like the desktop version of an Iphone.
I don't believe iOS and Android use immutable filesystems to the extent some Linux distros do, like openSuse Aeon, Fedora Silverblue, Nixos, etc. iOS and Android just make it more difficult to gain root access.
They do. By default the system partition is straight up mounted read-only.
They probably realized snaps are garbage and are still trying to desperately un-garbage them before the release.
My money is on its not pushing Pro hard enough.
Can someone suggest a community for linux noob like me? Installed U-Mate yesterday. I may need an active community specifically created for new users.
This community is full of noobs, feel free to post your questions.
The only reason I'm still using Canonical's bullshit after they tried to kill Unity, tried to force Snap on me and put ads in the shell is because of Rudra Saraswat. His Ubuntu Unity flavor is really good once you remove snapd.
I guess I have a little while longer to migrate all my servers to a new OS.
Edit: oh this is for home users. Well, it’s only a matter of time before this is rolled out to Ubuntu Server.
Fuck Canonical anyway.
Canonical still does more for the Linux desktop than most of us ever have or ever will
Agreed.
Neverless, fuck Canonical.
Now you've borned so much executable type. Why can't you release the source code of the software to "make sure there isn't malware" and pledge and unveil it.
It was nice while it lasted. Moved to MX.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
