Big fucking shit
They made an neural network that optimizes it self from the way you use it
So for example if you only use a certain application at 5pm then when its 5 pm that application will have more threads allocated to it
And it will learn your pattern use based on almost any kind of factor
Why don’t I just install debian, skip the debloat and use apt the way it was intended then? Ubuntu’s meant to be the normie/retard’s Linux distro, so why do you suddenly have to not be a retard to get the most out of it?
>Ubuntu’s meant to be the normie/retard Linux distro
then go ahead and use Debian if you want to feel superior
I see no difference in usage between the two of them, except Ubuntu has a left dock bar instead of bottom on vanilla Gnome, better hardware support and more software available.
I run a minimal i3 setup and all the main apps I use (kitty, emacs, brave, clojure) were installed via snaps, external repositories or custom installers anyway, so I'm fine with whatever they do as long as they don't break anything.
Debian is for people who highly value stability and dont mind the slightly older packages.
Mint uses the Ubuntu repo as the baseline, so it has slightly newer packages than Debian and a significantly better DE and UX than Ubuntu.
Snaps are good. I installed the Kdenlive snap because I didn't want apt to install a bunch of KDE dependencies. Appimage was an option but I find that more annoying to manage. I don't want to create .desktop files manually.
I do use appimage when I want to try something out though
Firstly, snaps are actually secure.
Secondly, snaps have a much better syntax.
Thirdly, snaps work well for GUI and CLI programs. I can use snap to deploy server software (NextCloud) and desktop software. Flatpak is only targeted at the desktop
Also, snaps are apparently easier for a developer to maintain
How specifically are snaps more secure than Flatpak?

The only thing I saw there for an average user of concern is the fact that some apps disregard Flatpak guidelines and design documents to use filesystem=home instead of path, that's an issue with the apps in question and not Flatpak itself. I was under the impression people can do just as retarded things designing snap apps.

The user has to manually connect extra functionality
Flatpak was mostly designed for GUI apps and they're designed to be launched from your DE/WM's launcher instead of through the CLI. It's a bit more complicated to launch Flatpak apps over CLI since instead of typing in something like 'elisa' to launch an app, you have to type 'flatpak run org.kde.elisa' instead, whereas Snap apps can be launched just by typing in the app name as usual.
daemons, $PATH integration, easy CLI support, desktop auto launch, custom content plugs/slots, stepped upgrades and data migration, data snapshots
the real power of snaps is actually with Ubuntu core. you can build a complete transactional OS with immutability and confinement of every application while still allowing for piece-wise updates of each component all the way up to the bootloader and kernel
about the only thing I found I can't d with snaps is automatically access non-posix folders under / (my company prefers /data)
>the only thing I found I can't d with snaps is automatically access non-posix folders under / (my company prefers /data)
even when using the --classic flag?

I didn't try with that, I was building some modern snaps for an Ubuntu core robot os image
I don't see the point of Ubuntu without precisely the bad things about it (mixed packages, snaps, PPAs, GNOME with a bunch of extensions by default). I think the only good thing about it was the font rendering and frankly that hasn't been a problem for a while anymore in other mainstream distros. What else is the point? I'm trying to understand here.
Although most Linux versions of pro apps should run on any distro, a lot of seem (like pic related) to recommend Ubuntu in particular. Considering Ubuntu appears to be the distro they seem to be primarily tested on, you might have less problems running it on there than other distros.
>more of retard os instead of something you can use at work.
Everyone who uses Linux for work is using Ubuntu, not your chuddieOS or Arch or whatever meme distro of the week is.
RHEL isn't a meme in enterprise as much as you think, especially after centos is kill and fedora is relegated to corpse meme hobby distro.
OpenSuse is actually supported by most commercial software.
Don't make a fool of yourself.
The issue is that Ubuntu delegates management options to Azure/MS tools and limits the gnome and linux functionality to manage workstations.
Shit
What kind of shit?
Spyware shit
meds
GNOME shit
20.04 still serves me well mkay?
I think you have 2 more years before Canonical stops giving security updates.
Hopefully they end up using a LTS Kernel I don't actually trust canonical being able to keep up.
Ubuntu PRO is free tho
do not redeem sar

lmao if that thing ever happens that would be some Microsoft shit 100%
you can already do this with linux by installing this package: preload, or on archfag distros: goprelod or something idc i use debchad.
Another release.
icons in the file picker I hope
You don't NEEEEDDD icon in the file picker.
bloat, amazon telemetry, having to pipe lsblk through grep or awk first to get through all the loopback devices
Dogshit
Greatness. I love Ubuntu, they're always there for me when other distros inevitably let me down. Thank-you Ubuntu.
How do you cope with apt installing snaps instead?
Use apt-get instead?
Uninstall snapd?
Use a remix that doesn't include snapd in the first place?
I don't run Ubuntu but being filtered by snap seems something only a retard would go through
Why don’t I just install debian, skip the debloat and use apt the way it was intended then? Ubuntu’s meant to be the normie/retard’s Linux distro, so why do you suddenly have to not be a retard to get the most out of it?
it has something to do with being straight and not a neet
if you can't grasp that concept you should go back to debian

I think you are using your computer wrong or not at all.

I don't care
Having to do software updates every other day.
How about kernel as a snap?
How about..
Snap. As a snap.
I run a minimal i3 setup and all the main apps I use (kitty, emacs, brave, clojure) were installed via snaps, external repositories or custom installers anyway, so I'm fine with whatever they do as long as they don't break anything.
More forced snapification.
More forced auto-updatification.
More opt-out telemetry.
Linux Mint is by FAR the more user-friendly distro nowadays.
There's always debian...
Debian is for people who highly value stability and dont mind the slightly older packages.
Mint uses the Ubuntu repo as the baseline, so it has slightly newer packages than Debian and a significantly better DE and UX than Ubuntu.
>slightly older packages
just use debian testing, Ubuntu pulls its packages from Debian Testing
Linux Mint doesn't have a KDE version, that's the problem.
they used to, but got rid of it. I miss it every day.
???
Mint is based on Ubuntu and Ubuntu has KDE
just install it

Heh, nice one
I'm one of the few who likes snaps
having my few apps available in a container fashion while it gets updates directly from vendor is just too good

What objective benefits to they offer over Flatpak, assuming both are available?
Firstly, snaps are actually secure.
Secondly, snaps have a much better syntax.

so, how is the weather in Canonical office?

Flatpaks are for GUI applications. Snaps can be anything.
Other than schizo-tier stuff, once snap is gone is there any reason to not recommend Ubuntu to laptop beginners and intermediates now?
Nevermind it's April 1st I might have been punked
There's no reason to not recommend it to beginners and intermediates (or advanced users) now.
Even if Canonical wanted to kill the Snap project, there are too many companies that use it as their main distribution channel now.
Only a retard would continue a stupid idea just because other retards have latched onto it.

More Gnome fuckery.

An updated base for PopOS
Same stinky shit as previous Ubuntu
>those heckin snappities..... are LE BADDY BAD BAD!!!1
Well, you can "expect" thumbnails in the file picker.
But they won't be there.
first tell me the difference between 20.04 to 21.04 to 23.04
Probably even more Windows-like locking down on everything and making Ubuntu more of retard os instead of something you can use at work.
They know RHEL got bad rep recently and OpenSuse is dying so they're the only ones left in the game for enterprise linux distro.

I have yet to see someone running RHEL on his fucking notebook. Until I do that in real life it's just anther LULZ meme.
Because no one fucking runs RHEL. It's for servers and corporate environments, dumbass.
>What can we expect?
FDE with TPM.

Do they say which PCRs they use by default?
ubuntu LTS is the best distro i have used thus far
>797 MiB
How?
turn off the wallpaper
turn off the searches
turn off extensions
turn off the dock
i think the wallpaper alone uses like 300MB
>i think the wallpaper alone uses like 300MB
Fuck.

nothing, im waiting for LMDE6
corporate bloatware and spyware, slow ass snap application startup times, normified shit tier UI, outdated packages.
Even your kernel is a snap
