>>106475517There is so much wrong with Ubuntu as a base and Gnome is the cherry & cream on top.
>>106475517>snapd>crapparmor>ubuntu pro ads in terminal>...
>>106475517>Downstream of a distro it adds very little to.>Corporate product.>Insistence on Snaps, even going so far as to remove packages from Apt. Only way to get a native Firefox is a PPA which is terrible for long term system stability.>Holding back updates for Ubuntu Pro users, telling you this every time you update.>Extremely limited installer that has gotten worse recently. It used to be possible to click through the installer and get a fully encrypted Btrfs root with @, and @home subvolumes. Now that’s impossible you’re options for encryption are ext4 or zfs. Custom partitioning is possible but they’ve removed the ability to encrypt anything from thereI’m sure i could think of more. Everybody owes Ubuntu a lot for being the best Linux training wheels. I especially owe them for mailing me free livecds back in the day.But if you’re not a noob and have opinions about how you want your computer setup it’s simply in the way. Better to go upstream to Debian, the fools choice is further downstream to Mint.Ubuntu is quite literally for people who don’t know what they want or what they are doing. That’s a strength and a limitation.
Ubuntu makes your computer less secure if you don't register Ubuntu Pro account. It doesn't install all security updates without it.
So what should a person use that doesnt want to tinker with Linux then?> Linux MintWas compromised years ago> Ubuntu Disgusting snap trash >Zorin OSLiterally who>Manjaro Does this even exist anymore?What is the absolute best OS to use with minimal bullshit in current year?
>>106475706openSUSE Tumbleweed Xfce
>>106475732But anon I'm not in the LGBT community
>>106475706Debian, idk.At some point you are going to realize doing things via commandline is just another interface for your computer not some terrible “tinker tool” to be avoided.Just install minimal Debian and slap whatever desktop packages you want on it.

Ubuntu peaked with LTS 10.04, after that it was unusable influenced by the cannonical inner circlejerk
>>106475851You spelled 8.04 wrong
>>106475891The 10.04 was similar but a little more polished, after that, since the 11 they began to add retarded GUIs and options.
>>106475834Me neither. What do you mean by it?
>>106475932GUIwise yes, i agree but 8.04 was the last lts free of poetteringware (*kits and pulseaudio to be specific). In a way it's the demarcation line between legacy design and the current one.
>>106475706Bazzite, it's fedora immutable plus ready to go with proprietary drivers and codec slop. Shuld be perfect for the average troglodyte you're embodying.
>>106475517only retards wannabe 15 yo hackers hate on Ubuntu.
>>106476225Where’s that? Unit 8200 building?
>>106475517/g/ commies and tinker trannies don't actually do anything useful with their computers, they're mentally ill and stuck in high school, trapped into a fantasy of being the classroom hacker that knows obscure computer voodoo and crazy websites.
>>106475517>gave up on unity>now forever gnome's bitch
>>106476225Ever notice how all the photos that people bring up to prove that Ubuntu is "le serious biznus" show Unity-era Ubuntu only? DOS used to be used by professionals everywhere, now Ubuntu is following a similar path.
>>106479304They'll switch to COSMIC within the next 4 years Trust me bro
>>106475517Same, I turn off the dock and desktop icons though. Gnome works better without them. LTS is good to have for servers, but normal users should just install the latest release.
Page 11?
>>106475517Canonical shovelware like snap and unity desktop. No need for them. Just use debian.
>>106475517>rewrites your coreutils in rust
>>106479410>that people bring up to prove that Ubuntu is "le serious biznus" more like to prove that in the workplace the most common Linux distribution chosen by managers is Ubuntu and not a random riced out Arch >DOS used to be used by professionals everywhere, now Ubuntu is following a similar path. Ubuntu isn't going anywhere. its just the pics came from a blog called "Ubuntu in the wild" that stopped being updated. fun fact is when Canonical switched from Unity to Gnome, a lot of their clients asked them to recreate the left dock so they wouldn't have to train their employees all over again. so Canonical just did that.
>>106475517It's the best, so in order to fit in with the group you have to be contrarian and pretend to hate it.
>>106481615Clearly you haven't tried to use it within the past 5 years
>>106481683I'm using it right now fool
>>106481694Stockholm syndrome
>>106481705What are you using? I'll switch if it makes sense. But most of you fools don't get any actual work done.
>>106475574>>snapdis good>>crapparmoris good>>ubuntu pro ads in terminalwho cares
>>106481705>you only think it is good because you don't use it>you only like it as a user because of Stockholm SyndromeOr maybe the simple explanation is that he likes it because it is nice? Crazy, I know
>>106475834Why are you using Linux then?
>>106475574>>ubuntu pro ads in terminalsudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.confproblem solved permanently
sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf
>>106475706>Was compromised years agoAre you referring to the one (1) time their website was compromised and they released a malicious ISO? That hasn't happened since because lessons were learned.
>>106484452>lessons were learned>Trust me, bro.
>>106484832Here's some AI slop since you can't be bothered to do any researchFollowing a major security breach in 2016, Linux Mint has taken significant steps to secure its website and download process. The team responded to the breach, which involved a compromised download of a backdoored ISO, by implementing stricter security practices and overhauling its infrastructure. Steps taken after the 2016 breach-Disabled the compromised WordPress blog: Attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Linux Mint blog, which was running on WordPress. The team immediately took the blog and the entire website offline to prevent further infection and removed it permanently.-Enforced HTTPS encryption: Linux Mint enabled HTTPS across its website to protect against "man-in-the-middle" attacks, where hackers could redirect users to a fraudulent site.-Hardened server security: With assistance from the security company Sucuri, Linux Mint hardened its web servers and added a firewall. Sucuri also scanned the servers for malware.-Updated password policy: The team implemented a new password policy to strengthen the security of its forums and community sites.-Partnered with security researchers: Researchers from security companies Avast and AVG assisted the Linux Mint team in analyzing the malicious ISO file and blocking the command-and-control servers used by the hackers.

Very little is forced to be snaps, I use apt or flatpak for everything else in Ubuntu 22 and now 24. Hardly need Snaps for anything I use or like.
