Thread 106966216

Is this literally the best distro?

why might it be?

>>106966216 (OP)
It would be if they would just fucking give up on snaps already.

You can see by the crown that the Ubuntu team was infiltrated by the British Monarchy to subtly promote monarchism to the British people just as the republican protests are becoming big

Snaps are fine

>>106966216 (OP)
Kubuntu built upon the LTS probably is.

>>106966254
Wasn't it broken until recently?

>>106966249
Wrong.
>>106966251
Wrong.

>>106966306
No argument.

>>106966280
idk. Works on my machine and mostly always has. Easy, pretty, configurable, lots of documentation (inherited from Ubuntu)

if you install a snap app with an apache server, it is not possible to update missing features in the snap app like .htpassword

I want to like kde I really do but it's so clunky and bloated.

>>106966447
Maybe. I'm not as offended by functionality bloat. Clunky I can't agree with.

>>106966244
God-tier distro

>>106966636
I tested it out on kubuntu the last time. Menu and sliiders were laggy. Applets glitched out and disappeared. Stuff like that. Little things add up.

>>106966730
I had an issue with having two monitors that weren't on the same frame rates initially when I switched, but that ended up being a well known X problem. I haven't had such issues with sliders or menus, but I'm sure I would judge KDE strongly if so.

>>106966230
This. Snaps are a solution in search of a problem.

>>106966216 (OP)
Ubuntu is the Python of distros. It just works and gets the job done. But /g/ hates it because it doesn't make you look hardcore.

Pretty much the only distro with spyware and anti-privacy inclinations. There's a reason why they're a niche distribution and mint, a derivative, is one of the largest and far more popular.

the last time i used ubuntu was 2009

>>106966243
I didn't know that Canonical is British until you point it out.

>>106966216 (OP)
Usually if there is a lot of debate about which is better A or B it either means that A and B can do the same thing but were designed for different requirements (eg vim vs emacs) or A and B are just two implementations of exactly the same thing and it doesn't really matter (rust and c++). Ubuntu vs gentoo is the former, gentoo is for hardcore sysadmins who need tight control and ubuntu is for end user that just need a distro spinned up quickly. Distro debate threads are the most dogshit low effort threads shitting up this board 24/7.

imagine not using a node version manager, why would you install node via the OS packet manager?

Install a fresh copy of Ubuntu and try to uninstall Firefox right now.
Go ahead.
You can't.

This has been a known bug for years.

fecal fossa was the best.
ubuntu distros are ranked by default wallpaper and the cat was numero uno in my book

>>106974186
This. Any distro with Uboonga as base crashes, so I avoid it like the black death.

>>106969156
It "just werked" until it was intentionally sabotaged with shit no one wants like snap
debian just werkz tho

>>106977713
brown ubuntu best ubuntu. 7.10 i think was the version that had all the rage inducing standard user directries which started the downfall.

>>106977713
It's conceptually involved for not much payoff.

>>106966249
if you cut off your legs in order to justify using a wheelchair, you've effectively crippled yourself for no valid reason.
they didn't need to cripple themselves by becoming dependent on architecture that they needn't be, but being the retarded geniuses, they did.
part of the standard of ye' olde linux was in making the adopted medium to change in order to be assymilated, but instead nulinux is the one that changed, becoming an abomination.

i will never forgive ubuntu and all the other shitty distros for adopting bad coding and architecture engineering designs, just to appease the tranny coders.

NEVAR!!!

fuck no bruh
enjoy waiting years for a new version of anything

Noone talking about arch? Are you all too pussy to use it?

>>106978778
you see those folders (don't mind desktop, he's cool)? i fucking hate them. delete them and the bookmarks (below trash on the left) each time i install. the download cunt however always keeps coming back. that might be a kde thing though as caja in MATE seems to do a good job keeping the fucker out.

>set firefox/brave/chrome to save in /home/nigel

Download is created and option in browser has changed... tf?!?!?!?!

can't you just do this in a container?

It isn't even the best Ubuntu distro.

>>106966447
>>106966730
Funny, that's my experience but with gnome/cinnamon DEs. KDE seems to work better in my machine for some reason. Oh well, I suppose that's the beauty of choice.

Kionite is the shit. Fast, idiot proof, amazing repos. Shit on kubuntu any day of the week.

>>106980608
how do you set it up? layer all your packages or only use the toolbox container for packages?

at the very least i want to switch out the shell for fish shell

>>106978724
>>106980608
Yes, but Secureblue is even better. If you're going to use Linux you might as well use a distro that has made significant improvements on security right?

Kubuntu 25.10 is the now

>>106981279
Talking about an 18 month old release while using a 3 year old release. No, I am not updooting no matter how itchy this makes you.

>>106981170
is this another thing like bluefin/bazzite/aurora?

>>106966216 (OP)
Not even remotely, it uses Gnome

>>106982400
>gnome is.. LE BAD?!?!?!!

Is anyone excited for their upcoming immutable spin?

>>106983793
I am.
Ubuntu makes the best desktop distro. I like the concept of Silverblue, and have used it before. I do not like flatpak, however, and much prefer snap. Snap also has a bigger scope, and is able to package basically anything, which is pretty cool. So I think Canonical has a good opportunity to make something amazing. They already have a lot of experience with the tech from non-desktop spaces, so I believe they will be able to bring it to the desktop in a way that feels polished and complete.
I hope they knock it out of the park.

>>106966216 (OP)
yeah, at least until Mint switches to Wayland.

>>106984626
Why is everyone getting their clitty in a twist over snaps while fellating flatpaks?

>>106985694
comes down to three things I think:
>slow startup times
Was an issue in the beggining, but has since been fixed. I don't get the issue either way. Who cares if the browser you will have open the next week takes 3s to start up.
>closed source backend
people are ideological I guess. I don't really care
>general distrust of Canonical / corporations
Canonical have been known to want to go their own way, and make their own tech. Their tech is oftentimes outcompeted by Red Hat's offerings. I think people fear that snap will be the next Mir or something.

I honestly do not understand why people hate so hard on snaps and adore flatpaks. For me, snaps always work so much better (e.g. drag and drop just werks unlike in flatpak). The distribution of snaps also seems more secure. Canonical release a bunch of official stuff, and the ecosystem seems more legit than all the random third party stuff on flathub. VSCode in flathub is just some random guy packaging it IIRC, whereas the snap is official / approved by Canonical in some way.

It's just a meme to hate snaps by now, and most people who whine about it have never even used them, or used them once briefly back when it was fairly new tech (on the desktop at least)

>>106981525
Nothing like that.
>secureblue is a security-focused desktop and server Linux operating system, developed as an open-source project. It is shipped as a set of OCI bootable container images, which are generated with BlueBuild, using Fedora Atomic Desktop’s base images as a starting point. Fedora is one of the few Linux distributions that ships with SELinux and associated tooling built-in and enabled by default. This makes it advantageous as a starting point for building a secure desktop system. However, the security architecture of desktop Linux is broadly and significantly lacking. The goal of secureblue is to build a maximally secure Linux operating system by proactively increasing defenses against the exploitation of both known and unknown vulnerabilities, while avoiding sacrificing usability for most use cases where possible.

Firefox is my only snap.
Apt installing everything just works.
You have a skill issue, retard. Not that your sheep ass cares.

>>106970681
Then don't use it? Simple as.

>>106975178
Then don't install it (or anything else) as a snap, it's not rocket science.

>>106986052
How are snaps more "secure"? Most apps update non-snaps sooner, too, if they even offer a snap package alongside apt.

The modified gnome varient that they have is the best DE around
