  1. They kinda suck. They take a long time to launch
  2. They are in practice proprietary to Ubuntu so they are not really FOSS
  3. The draw of Ubuntu it is was based on Debian Testing and therefor pretty stable.
  4. It's Yet Another Containerization stack. We already have flatpack, app image, chroot jails and more.

Why would a serious user want a psuedo proprietary Nth app containerization platform that sidesteps a serious incubation chain and has poor performance?

Yeah because Twitter is something that any group of talented engineers couldn't replicate in a year.

I use Nix BTW...

I tried bitwarden and others and finally just settled on the firefox password manager. It does everything I need.

Like Android?

Cool, one of the few things I miss from Windows.

That's not a desktop.

Most things that go mainstream get ruined. So long as there are enough hardware choices for us, I don't feel too excited about linux going mainstream.

use Arch to manage your system packages and use Nix to manage your user & GUI packages

Brilliant. Thanks.

Switching is not always trivial.

I have a huge build that only works on EL7. It will take months of focused effort to unfuck that build code.

Why is he your bud?

I ditched all those fools and never looked back.

If Biden wanted an excuse to stack the court then this is it.

which $PROGRAM in a terminal tells you.

The (48 hour) protests just communicate that u/spez can fuck us over 363 days of the year. The only thing that will work is leaving.

How is this not an act of war?

Probably the US does it too.

Just like most people after they achieve success.

I get downvoted every time I say I just wish Texas would just succeed already.

I couldn't make Windows Vista work on my laptop I spent almost a year saving for. I've been on Linux full time since. Thanks Ballmer!

Androis uses linux, but that does not make it a Desktop Linux. It's not invalid, just out of scope to this metric. It's pretty simple.

I am allowed to use Ubuntu or Fedora (I would use the Fedora but they seemed to have fucked it up) at work. I use Arch for personal. This seams like a good way to learn Nix. I am probably never leaving Arch. It's like a member of my family.

I am triggered. So good job I guess.

leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

What a joke. There is no way they need five years for this.

Oh, even better. I'm going to put it on the Ubuntu desktop my employer wants me to use.

I think, "Yea!, that's desperation"...

Green Tail EL

If they did good, because they didn't work on any of the three or so versions I tried.

I bought one in 2022.

Yes, andiyou can sync between you installs.

It not perfect but it's enough for me at least.

Oh neat. Just gpg -d HOME/.mozilla/firefox/[profile folder]/key4.db + logins.json ?

they discontinued the password manager they had on Android

I use it on Android Firefox every day, it syncs my passwords to all my linked firefox instances.

Jellyfins OTA and DVR are a dumpster fire. So if you want to watch and record OTA TV go with Plex.
