What about all the other pros of ubuntu?
Off the top of my head,
Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it's solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I'm just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don't like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn't windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I've literally never had a problem I haven't caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don't want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I'd switch but I don't so I won't.
I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It's like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).
You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.
It's not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there's guides a plenty on how to do it.
The Windows network troubleshooter is black magic from the depths of hell itself and is very opinionated and selective in choosing which issues to fix and whether you'll need to bargain your soul to recieve said fix. I have red hair and find it doesn't bother bartering with me, but your mileage may vary.
I uninstalled my filesystem. I think I was cutting down on packages and used the purge command at the wrong time. Ended up uninstalling nemo with the purge command and removed all packages associated, including the filesystem. Then I was all surprised pikachu when everything stopped working and upon reboot nothing happened
Don't try to equate a bill that allows someone to make a choice to decrease prison time, with a concentration camp where they harvest organs and hair, and "reeducate" people to believe China #1. One is dumb, the other is evil.
I get worried sometimes about my country's (Australia) invasive online privacy laws. China doesn't allow proper internet access, and if you think you have nothing to worry about, just Baidu-search "Tiananmen Square 1989" or "why did the Dalai Lama leave Taiwan". I'm sure you'll be fine...
Huh, is that why the people of Hong Kong seemed so happy in that last bout of protests? You know, when over 1 million people took to the streets, protested and set the city on fire? Also, and just out of interest, is your government still using "prisoner's of conscience" as an organ donor pool or have they finally shut down their concentration camps?
Agreed. I think I've been burnt especially because I like recommending them to others and I've had to stop doing that recently because they seem to be spiralling a little.
I dont get the downvotes, the person who posted it isn't Linus...
Well maybe once I get a job in tech (I graduate at the end of november) I could justify spending the time... it will give me a better understanding of computers after all.
I'd love to do this someday but I really don't have the time to experiment at the moment. I need something that allows me to be lazy so I can just work on things.
Best advice I ever got regarding Windows: delay updates for a few days. Sometimes Windows updates break the device, but if you're part of the crowd that delays for a day or two, they might have fixed the issue by then.
Youre thinking of python I reckon -link to wikipedia
