Ich konsterniere immer mehr bei der Frage von Linux-Distros für Nicht-Geeks. Der Text erklärt das gut: Distros, die vorgeben, einsteigerfreundlich zu sein, und dann bricht doch etwas zu stark, sind konzeptionell ein Irrweg. Das hilft am Ende niemandem.
#Ubuntu und seine Ableger (ja, auch Mint und mittelbar Pop!_OS) spielen sich mit dem #Snap-Desaster, bizarren Sonderwegen und Werbung im System an den Rand. #Fedora und #openSUSE richtige sich mMn schon an Geeks, man muss auch Repos für Video-Hardwarebeschleunigung und Mainstream-Codecs aktivieren und solche Späße. Distro-Upgrades (oder Tumbleweed) sind bei Fedora und openSUSE auch nicht unproblematisch. Dann bleibt nicht mehr viel übrig. Arch, #EndeavourOS und Co. sind für Nerds.
Das mit Snap ist schon eine skurrile Entwicklung.
Warum in #Ubuntu und #Derivaten inzwischen selbst Core-Software wie #Firefox nicht mehr als #Paketversion gepflegt wird, sondern der Weg über #Snap, verstehe ich auch nicht wirklich.
Ok, Snap-Software ist mehr wie in der #Sandbox und Paketabhängigkeiten sind einfacher aufzulösen bzw. gar nicht vorhandenen. Aber es bleibt ein Sonderweg, der eben nicht nur Vorteile hat.
In other news, I've been using #Ubuntu#Gnome full time. I can say I'm as comfortable with out-of-the-box Gnome as with my built-from-source, very-personalized #dwm. I get people are sometimes pretty opinionated and even argumentative about their digital environments, but I guess I've learnt to Stop Worrying and Love The Get Things Done. XD
@mairin I'm mulling over getting a MBP for the hardware, portability, battery life etc but have been warned by a friend the os is something special. Your toots have been entertaining. Been using #Ubuntu with unity (I actually loved it) and #gnome for many years now, but my portable experience has never been great. On the desktop it's #linux for life, but on the move I'd really reliable Bluetooth and suspend, which I don't get with my #Thinkpad. At all.
Ugh, Ubuntu replaced my Firefox PPA with a broken-out-of-the-box Snap again today when upgrading from kinetic to lunar.
Any recommendations on an alternative to Ubuntu for a dev-centric personal laptop? Apt-based is preferred, but I'll take anything that guarantees I'll never need to see a Snap package again.
OK #ubuntu please explain to me the #lts update process. I did apt autoremove nothing is left. When attempting move to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS it still says there are ~50mb to remove from boot. What is stopping the installer/updater to find out what that is and either move it or make /boot bigger? Or take just a little bit of another partition? Or guide me to mount a temp external drive? Or something else? #floss
I keep tossing the idea of joining a themed Maso-server (ex: ubuntu.social), but then I think of all the stuff I am into and just can't decide to lock into one..
If you want to work on a fun #Linux project, why not set up Wordpress?. In this video, I'll show you how to set it up on #Ubuntu. For those that attended my workshop at #AllThingsOpen, this is the video version of that same course. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/lD6vQBDHkqU@ubuntu
Hey @mozilla , can we exepct #PWA / #ProgressiveWebApp support in #Firefox again some day? Would be really great because I don't like to see my colleagues using #Edge on #Ubuntu because of it's #PWA support 😭 (and other browsers had some issues, too)
I feel, I can't recommend #Ubuntu anymore.
The fact that they are pushing #Snap is the reason.
One of the reasons is, that Snap gives a bad user experience. Snaps are really slow at startup and sometimes you have to launch them twice before they open, sometimes it just doesn't open at all.
I understand that using Snap is much easier, since you make one package , that runs everywhere, and I'm all for it! #Linux has been needing something like Snap and #Flatpak for a long time and now they are finally here. But pushing a product which doesn't work well is what I don't like about it.
Flatpak works much better and more smoothly than Snap does. Another thing about Snap I think they should be fixing is the centralization around Snapcraft - make it possible for others to set up repositories.
I think many people are having the same opinion, so hopefully (for themselves) #Canonical can learn and change the issues before Snap goes to 0. If they don't, then eventually more apps will come to #Flathub instead of #Snapcraft.
@moleculehttps://quey.la/@a ya he usado varias distribuciones #Linux desde hace más de una década y cuando me pide algún reinicio han sido lo bastante consideradas como para indicarme que se hace necesario reiniciar, pero no me bloquea nada. #knopix#ubuntu#linuxmint#kubuntu
Eso sí: da un gustazo tremendo emplear el software libre en el día a día. Ya no me acuerdo de aquella época en la que tenía que emplear instaladores y números de serie...
@danirabbit I’m still travelling on my deadnames passport that was issued when I looked very different. It gets hard though. Like the border folks in prague a couple of weeks ago, when I was travelling to the #LinuxAppSummit#LAS2023 for #Ubuntu, belly laughed in my face because of it.
