Thread 106008304

Why use anything else? Genuinely asking

>snaps
It's ok overall but snaps are occasionally executed poorly (steam) and Ubuntu defaults to the snap if you install a given package

I prefer FEDora because its more up to date and if I had to choose a non-native package format to get shoved down my throat I prefer flatpak over snap

1. it wastes space top and left, so I would use something I could not waste screen with. For instance, xmonad w/ dmenu & xmobar.
2. I don't like Canonical. I don't like Debian.
3. Who knows what disgusting spyware they have installed. You can't trust them.
4. As mentioned, snaps are a shitty way to manage software. Not a fan. I would rather build from source than use them.
5. I forget the rest, butt

Because if I had a fucking disk drive, I would be using DOS.

Ubuntu is quite steadily progressing and making smart moves when it comes to adapting to the desktop sphere in 2025 - essentially saying BYE BYE to deprecated shit - while acknowledging that open source is not registered by or should work to fulfill the ideologic ideas of cultists. Snaps aren't a problem either and are constantly being overhauled, slowly getting ready to be a serious Flatpak alternative - especially because no ass wants to maintain Flatpak it seems

ancient packages

>snaps and gnome
Mint still master race

w11 works fine

>>106008792

just use debian. or arch. no point in using ubuntu when arch exists.

>>106009397
why use arch when Ubuntu just works? youre retarded?

>>106009417
>AUR

There is no reason. Ubuntu LTS is peak Linux, and anything else is tinkertrannyism

>>106009417
Nobody forces you to use AUR. Downloading data from other users is every bit as optional as downloading data from random websites online.

25.04 is the first interim release in a while that I had absolutely 0 problems using, it definitely feels like a good desktop experience again. still think snaps are kind of ass though

Anything else?

you do realize that all those apt packages that have you add a custom apt repository are subject to the very same issues right?

>>106008956
>w11
worst version of windows

>>106010841
why would you install a package that requires a custom apt repository?

>>106009883
i can never find stuff on pacman they want you to use the aur.

for me its fedora kde plasma

>>106010821
25.04 is pure kino

>>106010841
>you add
who? certainly not me.

>>106011206
They don't want you to use AUR, you want to use it and are looking to blame someone else for your choice to do so.

>>106008304 (OP)
I don't care for the out of the box configuration, it's serviceable I guess. Feels too cut down and simplified, ironically forcing you to use the CLI more than the GUI.
