Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) Beta released https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/ubuntu-2404-lts-noble-numbat-beta-released/

#Ubuntu #Linux


I'll always love #Ubuntu because it's so easy to install and setup on any laptop. I can quickly get up and going, and just run a shell script to setup my dev env. Recently been using #elementaryos8 so that the younger ones in my family can play around with Linux safely. I've used #RedHat and #centos professionally. I tried #fedora but it was a pain to find and install drivers.


Oh Snap! Canonical now doing manual reviews for new packages due to scam apps https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/03/oh-snap-canonical-now-doing-manual-reviews-for-new-packages-due-to-scam-apps/

What!? Canonical providing a #GDrive link of the wallpapers?

Sorry, that surprised me a lot, more than the good news.

Good News, Everyone!
Canonical has implemented one of my suggestions after the recent crypto scam issue in the Snap Store. This is excellent progress and should be applauded. 👏

[Blog] Hey! Remember a month ago I mentioned there was a scam BitCoin wallet in the Snap Store. There's another one. This time I took it apart to see how it works.

Edit: It's worse - they published ten scam apps under different wallet brand names. 🙁

I have some favourites. So i dont look further. But I try without installing sometimes. #manjarolinux is my favourite but #ubuntu was my first. So some nostalgia is there.

Accidentally opened Steam on my M1 MacBook Air.

Rust (the game, not the language, you nerds) runs on Macs!?

But not on #Linux (I know why).

I wonder how many people play this game on a Mac 🤔

I used to play it on #Ubuntu quite a lot. Bit of a time-sink. So it's probably for the best that I don't play it anymore. It just baffled me that it's possible to download it. Not that I will, obviously 😇


no need for #ubuntu themes, since i banned Ubuntu from my computers, for forcing even more #snaps and "#ransomware" (or what is software called these days that comes like "you can haz updates, IF YOU PAY US!" ) in my face.


Rice up your Linux system with these!

more snaps, more ransom , less listening. no thanks. i switched already away from #Ubuntu #Canonical to something less invasive.


not sure what to say, but honestly no other OS makes me as happy as Arch. ❤️ :arch:
I wouldn't touch #fedora with a stick after what #RedHat did, and #Ubuntu is not that far, maybe worse on some things.


Snap store from Canonical (Ubuntu) hit with another crypto scam app https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/02/snap-store-from-canonical-ubuntu-hit-with-another-crypto-scam-app/

#Ubuntu #Canonical #Crypto


I switched from #ubuntu to something "minty" without that crappy #snaps bullshit. Forcing snaps and "ransomware" in my face isn't going to fly with me any longer. You need to drop ubuntu too. Because the won't stop until the numbers of installations drop.


#ubuntu these days turned into #ransomware . they keep package updates away from you, until you pay with personal data or money for their subscription programm. i stopped using it since.


Thanks, @itsfoss
I am not a Linux Pro and based on #ubuntu since 15 years but I will have an eye on #gentoo.


Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.

The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started and use the official .deb

We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.

If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

Will try #VanillaLinux, and immutable linux based on #ubuntu


I will not use #ubuntu, as I don't get #gnome. Note: I use #xubuntu, as I do get #xfce.
