If you’re running Ubuntu as a server this is useful advice.
If you’re running Ubuntu as a desktop, just install Fedora instead…
Or Mint which is pre unsnapped for your pleasure
Naah fedora = red hat and red hat = bad. I’m all in on Vanilla OS.
Except red head is profit driven but fedora is conmunity driven and open source
Fedora is funded by red hat
I’m not up to date on my Linux drama, what’s wrong with Snap?
It’s centralized and controlled by Canonical, it enforces updates and you can’t disable it, sometimes when you uninstall snapd it cames back when you apt update and most importantly, it is painfully slow.
So it’s not about snap, it’s about canonical- and they are why I’m no longer an Ubuntu user. Debian > any downstream distro
Yeah, sounds extremely shitty. It’d be fine if they didn’t force it
Oh so it’s the exact kind of enshittification that anyone on Linux went there to escape. Sounds like a deal breaker to me.
Slow, forced. Flatpack is better.
Huh, guess when I eventually end up back on Linux I’ll stay away from Ubuntu then. I assume it’s in things like Xubuntu and so on too?
I personally wouldn’t stay away from Ubuntu just because of petty nerd shenanigans like this one. At the end of the day it’s still a very mature and beginner friendly distro.
I used to use it back in the day, I even kinda liked that Unity thing they were doing for a minute. Whenever I end up back there (technically I’m already on Linux because I have a Steam Deck) I’m more likely to look for something lightweight

Just use Lesbian?
Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
Any other distro moment(just use debian if you dont care its stable for everyone ik)
