Ubuntu 25.10
Usecase for reposting?
>>107545758Now that I think about it I really don't do anything on my pc more than is feasible and comfortable on linux I'm kinda tempted to dualboot ubuntu but I know how obnoxious windows boot manager can be and I'd rather have a fast easy to use virtual machine for running windows like hyper-v, is there an alternative now? Virtualbox is not beacuse it's slow as shit unless someone taped kvm to it and I missed it then it would be fine
>>107545758Debium better
>>107545844>how obnoxious windows boot manager can beIt can't be, you have nothing to worry about. Install Ubuntu (or Kubuntu), enable os-prober in GRUB config, and dual-boot as much as you want.Should the default boot entry ever change away from GRUB (it won't), go in your BIOS and change it back to "ubuntu".
>>107545763no way they're not a paid canonical shill, ubuntu is dogshit and everyone knows it
>>107545844I hope you go with ubuntu, but if you do you need to do one thing via the terminal to make Steam Snap version work. Ubuntu uses snaps and theyre good but super super super secure so Steam won't have access to your mic or anything unless you specifically give Steam access to it. You need to use a command which shows everything Steam has access to and give it access to your audio, pretty easy if you search up how. So yeah snaps are so secure it can be a bit annoying sometimes haha, flatpak, deb packs and .exe just gives software all access by default but ubuntu is like nah, get through the security first
>>107546007I once needed Discord for work (yes, really) and installed it via snap. Worked well.Then I did a journalctl and noticed that AppArmor kept denying it access to read my process list. Like, wtf would Discord need to read my process list for?!Been using snaps ever since, fuck having every program with unlimited access to the shit I'm doing on the computer.
>>107546065>I once needed Discord for workI'm sorry.
>>107546065i couldn't connect to lobbies once on monster hunter because steam snap was too secure, so sometimes it backfires but a quick fix and permission access and the issue is gone. But I prefer snaps being overly secure, and me having to give applications access, than them having access to everything to begin with
>>107545982>>107546007Thanks for tips
>>107546065>Like, wtf would Discord need to read my process list for?!It's for the rich presence feature (so it can display what game you're playing to others). You can turn that feature off.
>>107549427Makes sense, and it makes even more sense for snap to block it by default irrespective of what the app settings say.I can see that it's possible to give it the required permission.
