  • The problem you are describing in this comment is a social problem, not a technological one. In the previous comment I answered, a technological problem was described, and I offered a technological solution.

    I am on the fedi, I do not proselytize to anybody that’s not on the fedi, nor do I interact outside of it. I am not fighting a battle, nor do I need to change people. There’s tons of people on the fedi that I can interact with. If people like where they are, they can continue to enjoy that, and I don’t have to bother them. I call my parents using the phone.

    No devcontainers here. Don’t use ppas - have not in a few years. Last ppa I used was deadsnakes like in '18. Have a bunch of de-chromed chromebooks with Ubuntu in non-stock config.

    I’ve struggled like twice with ubuntu on old laptops that had bad ram. Everything else has been smooth and I have customized the hell out of many configs. Lots of new Thinkpads in my past

    The snap deal is the most “like totally your opinion, man” thing in the world. Snaps run just fine for me, as well as flatpaks and appimages. Everybody wants to feel some way about Ubuntu adding some shiz to their distro that the majority of us don’t even pay for.

    Is it their distro? Yes. Can they add whatever to it? Yeah. Do they need to ask you? No. Does it really change things for you? No.

    Now, you are free to feel however you prefer - this is unquestionable. Your feelings are signal but not data, when it comes to software.

    I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2008. Still use it just fine. I dunno what is horrible about it, everything works. Have used it on a ton of different computers. Everything has always worked on it for me. I am an old unix bearded person, and a sw eng.

    I honestly don’t understand the hate.

    They don’t know it’s a debian, but also people irrationally dislike snap and other decisions. I’ve been using debian, ubuntu and raspbian for gosh knows how long - I don’t understand the hatred.

    I’ve been insulted at work for using Ubuntu by a guy who was afraid to update his arch laptop.
