I’ll be excited again when they give up on Snaps.

Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.

Weren’t you supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?

The kernel is a snap in Ubuntu Core, but you still need to reboot. I don’t think there’s a nice way to work around that.

Ooh, I really like this wallpaper!

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 6 points 4 weeks ago

I haven’t been a Ubuntu guy in a long time, but Canonical consistently designs the best wallpapers for their releases.

[-] Pirata@lemm.ee 6 points 4 weeks ago

Word. Unfortunately I cannot like Ubuntu for all of canonicals decisions, but there's no doubt they have designed the most iconic Linux DE there is.

So much so that if someone who doesn't use Linux thinks of Linux, they imagine Ubuntu.

I still miss unity sometimes. The unified menu and the HUD/dash design, so well thought out

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 weeks ago

Snap there still? If so, not even looking at it. Fedora and Debian I am thoroughly enjoying.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 weeks ago

The push towards Snap appears to be more optional now

[-] eltheanine@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 4 weeks ago

Yup I run LMDE on Desktop (or "LMAE" Arch) and Debian on servers since they made it annoying to rip out snaps. I'm not interested in making a distro something it is not, so just use something else.

What a jabroni.

I read that “Prickly muffin” and now I’m debating on whether I should or should not watch Bojack Horseman again

Attention Ubuntu users if you haven’t heard about it. There is currently a problem with the update, which is why it is stopped: Release Manager Simon Quigley on Reddit.

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.
