The "year of the linux desktop" will come when ubuntu stops being the face of linux
Thanks ebussy
Better than mint. Anyone using or recommending mint is a retard.
cause theyre making everything snaps/flatpaks bog surprise having mini vms for every application would baloon resource usage kinda makes you wonder if thats how wi fows keeps up with compatability? running a shitlod of old windows vms might be why the current min drive size ads up to every fucking windows default install on one disk
>>108540209>6GBBased. Windows should do the same and say bye bye to c*leron laptops
>>108540218What causes this mental illness?
is it? maybe to boomers that don't use computers at allin reality the actual face of linux is steamos, arch, cachyos, bazzite and mint
>>108540209>than win11.does it make the comparison to win11 iot ltsc, or regular win 11 homo?
>>108541111>What causes this mental illness?Using or recommending mint? No idea.
>>108541148>cachyos>bazziteLiteral who meme distros.Anyway, the face of linux should be Fedora. If you disagree, you're coping and don't actually use your computer to be productive or get things done, you just use it to play kids toys. Which is OK and fine, but kids toy enablers should not be the face of Linux.
>>108541214>win11 iot ltscthe version not supported by msteams aka unusable for employed folks? no
ubuntu uses over 7gb idle now? good thing I use cachyos with swaywm
>>108541627the only problem I have with fedora is the codec bullshit
>>108541641>my job's communication and pointless meetings app dictates what operating system I use.lol. lmao. Did you really mean that as a slight on non win 11 users?
Usecase for 80% of your RAM?
>>108540218lollmao whatsoever
what is using so much ram?
I dont want a year of the Linux desktop.NPCs should remain chained in their corposlop OSes.
>>108541782They are flocking to fedora/ubuntu dogshit
>>108541782I agree
>>108541794Running from one corposlop to another.For what purpose?
>>108540619Does that flatpacksnap bullshit at least improve security via isolation? I mean, if I install 3rd party things, maybe I want them to run in a containerised sanbox locked the fuck up?
>>108541763Right? I paid for RAM and I will use it.
>>108540209At the very least they're being honest on that front. Wangblow officially requires 4GB but that's borderline unusable, the system will take over 3GB and leave you with peanuts to actually do useful stuff with.
>>108540209>Ubuntu has shittons of bloat thanks to systemdsimpleinstall devuan
>>108540619This, I also disable snapd and only use flatpaks when required.Snapd is such a piece of shit. It's so obviously a shallow attempt at making a paid-for app store that is completely shotgunned by Flatpak existing.>>108541948no lolflatpak and snapd are not for isolation, they have access to your filesystem just like anything else, it's less isolation than a chroot jail
>>108541908>For what purpose?They don't know of anything else and they have never heard of Red Hat or Canonical before, to them these are the small indie Linux devs.If you told them Red Hat is IBM in a trenchcoat, they would probably understand more
>>108541997Flatpaks do age verification now.Switch to AppImage or just use debs or something else.
>>108541948only if you go through the effort of setting it up with flatseal https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
>>108541111>>108541767Imagine being filtered by UBUNTULMAO
>>108540209It will come when Linux stops being the face of FOSS
>>108542096These two things should have decoupled a long time ago seeing as they have nothing in common with each other.
BTW, dont want another thread for simple question:What is the state of systemd age drama?
>>108540209Fedora is the face of Linux now.
>>108542243Systemd now has a field for date of birth. The guy who added it is trying to shove it into all sorts of software, literally anything he can kind of maybe sort of justify asking for you age.They're waiting for the new legislation to make it mandatory.
>>108542256Is this just like "I am over 21" verification or "Show me your foreskin the verify your age" verification?
>>108540209It's time to use Mint with debian i guess...
Mint users I swear
>>108540209When was it ever the face of linux?
>>108542722optional text field
>>108542256Just put January 1, 1970 as the date. Timestamp 0.
>>108542832Why are people losing their mind then?
>>108542256Optional until it isnt.Just like the covid jab was optional until you needed it to keep your job.
>>108542848Because they have seen these tactics over and over again and are not falling for it again.
>>108542865Sounds like set and forget to me
>>108542848https://www.sambent.com/the-engineer-who-tried-to-put-age-verification-into-linux-5/The whole thing glows brighter than the sun, and they forced it with systemd which most big distros depend on so most of Linux doesn't get a say or choice at all unless they want to migrate out of systemd, and that's not realistic at all.
>Rewrite in rust>Suddenly the system needs a lot more memoryI guess this is the price to pay for safety xisters...
Worthless clickbait, Ubuntu always skews requirements higher because the point is to show requirements for GENERAL use. Windows 11s system requirements are so low you can’t even run packed in apps with it. Just for reference windows 11 recommends 4 gigs of ram and a 1ghz dual core cpu. There’s not a chance in hell you can run windows 11 on those specs.
>>108541641why would you be doing anything work related on your personal pc? you must have some shitty low pay job if they dont even bother to give you a work pc lmao
Sorry bro, time to get wiped, was fun alsamix every time to use the front audio panel
>>108541997flatpak is less isolated by default but you can lock it downsnap IS isolated. its an entire virtual disk for each snap program. it only has what you give it access to, which by default is just home
>>108541627> FedoraThe closest thing to the actual face of linux is slackware.Fedora is the antithesis of the face of linux.Marketing zoomers working at Redhat should probably look into what’s been going on in the tech community for the last 20+ years (or ask someone) before posting outrageously clueless nonsense.
>>108542966> read law… write codeHoly shit, there’s like hundreds of laws out there that we could hard-code into systemd.…nay… kernel!
>>108543088i run a pretty lightweight slackware fluxbox desktop. it runs slackware current and just runs and runs. i can pick your kernel version just like in fedora. kernel sources are shipped by default as well. included also are all the important language toolchains so you are ready for compiling out of the box.slackware is the best. the clue's is in the name.
>>108540209I used basically all distros. Used to run Gentoo and arch for years. Tried a bunch of those ease to use distros and they all suck ass. Ubuntu literally just works out of the box. Even my gayming laptop has all its fans being completely uncontrollable and loud as hell on every single distro except Ubuntu. Their power management works on everything which is what you want for noobs. Ubuntu is literally the perfect windows replacement. It just works. Stop crying over it because all the other "noob friendly" distros are flawed as shit and don't come even remotely close
>>108540209>muh system requirementsalways retarded and bait.
>>108543371Slackware? Does this still exists?
I haven't seen anyone recommend Ubuntu in awhile
>>108543544yes and its constantly updated. the version numbers might be fewer but on current new packages are rolling in all the time multiple packages per push almost every day.
>>108541627>Anyway, the face of linux should be Fedora.KDE or GNOME?
>>108540209ubuntu should have never ditched unity
>>108540209I love Ubuntu, comfy, just works
>>108541641Huh?It's "unsupported" on Windows 10 LTSC, but it works OOTB for Windows 11 LTSC. Even then, it can still work in Windows 10 if you install it manually.
>>108542848Because as >>108542865 rightfully states, its the same tactic they using with any controversial policy. They start with a "harmless" implementation and say its "optional", gradually build on it over the years, then suddenly its mandatory and it collects far more information about you than ever before. Look up the boiling frog metaphor.
>>108544142age verification is just another brick in the surveillance system of systems.system of systems because when you assemble enough systems, you get megasystems and thats when they really dial it up without people batting an eye because they are already in a megasystem.the components in and of themselves, do not necessarily make any difference but when combined with other totalitarian components, the megasystem suddenly starts to appear in plain view and by then people are already too deep to disconnect in any comfortable way.and you know how people are about their comfort.
>>108540209>The "year of the linux desktop" will comelol..
>>108541997Flatpak has some isolation and it can be inconvenient, for example a program can't access files in drives other than the main one. You have to use Flatseal to change that setting.
>>108540209Linux has been taken over by radical leftist activists and trannies. Once I saw kernel patches being denied for CoC violations, I realized it was over. I'm not sure what the future holds, but it's never going to be YOTLD.
>>108544413shit, i read the post completely wrong, disregard that
>>108540209>I'm still on 4GB of RAM.Guess I'm done with Ubuntu for now.What distribution should I use in it's place?
>>108543943kde obviously, gnome is a meme for tablets and its maintainers for some reason have hostile attitude towards the users
>>108544859Find some very longterm distro that does what you need, and will still be supported for the next few years. Maybe RHEL (or a clone) 9 or 10 if you can manage it.
