Switch to a distribution that is not #Ubuntu and that does not use either #Gnome or #KDE (unless the Gnome devs ever decide to give us an actual working screen SAVER, and I do NOT mean a screen LOCKER or a screen BLANKER!!! They need to realize that if you send no signal at all to some TV sets the screen does NOT go blank, but instead displays a big warning that the signal has been lost!). Once the #Cosmic desktop is out of alpha/beta I want to give #PopOS a try, but I have about had it with Ubuntu. Unfortunately I am not conversant enough with Linux to be a frequent "distro hopper" - too afraid I would lose data and software (Linux needs something like the MacOS "Migration Assistant").


i miss #UBUNTU very much! You know, the one distro that did not suck so much and did not force shit in your face like #SNAPS or did not ask for #protectionMoney . These had been good times. Good times gone now.


As a 20-year user of #ubuntu I find concerning that the page celebrating the 20 years of the OS is full of references to LinkedIn and twitter: what a disconnect between Ubuntu the company and ubuntu the enthusiast user base. The page, the celebration itself even, is then not for non-paying users but for the enterprise-level users that pay. Makes sense, of course – a company needs to pay its bills –, but it is nonetheless an upsetting reminder.

While sending dozens upon dozens of bug reports over the years surely doesn't pay the bills, it is also free labour ubuntu got from me. Fair deal, though: I got a free, stable OS out of it, for 20 years, for all our servers, desktops and laptops.

And the "ISV" acronym (independent software vendor) finally explains why the rise of the snap packages, which as a user I don't want anything to do with – they have consistently brought trouble. Only makes sense, again, from the perspective of an enterprise with bills to pay.

#canonical #ubuntu NO MORE ! Until they stop forcing #snaps in my face and stop asking for "protection money" the days where i would use UBUNTU ARE GONE FOR GOOD!! I put it right there beside the #RedHat distros , on the TRASH HEAP.

Are you aware that people who use straws are suckers too? And people getting upset because he said that about Windows users?

it was fun, until they started #snaps and later ask for "#protection money" if you want security updates of software they let you install for free, but then hold back updates later behind a pay wall. NO THANKS!! #NO_UBUNTU Good times gone. so is #UBUNTU


Canonical bring more Steam Snap improvements, also hiring more Desktop Software Engineers https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/08/canonical-bring-more-steam-snap-improvements-also-hiring-more-desktop-software-engineers/

WOW! I don't give two shits about that ! #UBUNTU is dead to me, since they ask for "protection money" regularly and deliberately hold back (free) security updates.


Ubuntu 23.10 is done. 😨

Unfortunately I no longer have one.

It was #Ubuntu for the last decade or longer.
Now they ruined their installers, so I can't install it on encrypted Btrfs anymore.
I also dislike that they are trying to vendor lock-in their users with snapd. I would be fine with snaps if they would allow third-party repositories and made the device-serial optional.

I am now using #Fedora on my desktop and homeserver. Overall it's a great distribution, but I can't stand the rolling (kernel) updates.

What's wrong with #Ubuntu from #Canonical? Is it because of Snap in Ubuntu? I feel like Snap isn't really that bad, don't hate too much because of Snap in Ubuntu. Because there are still many superior aspects of Ubuntu and its variants. Ubuntu and other variants remain the best Linux for me 👍🏼

Mhmm... 🤔

"Starting with this release, #Ubuntu #MATE has switched to Ubuntu's Flutter-based installer (Snap), uses GNOME Firmware instead of Firmware Updater, and ditches Software Boutique in favor of the App Center (Snap)."

#Ubuntu moving away from .deb is a good idea on paper to get them less reliant on #Debian. It's just the fact of how bad #snap has been as a package manager and no one seems to like it but they're still going full steam ahead.
