1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Not OP, but... the reason why I won't use Ubuntu is that whole snap thing. I'm not hating on snaps in general (although I prefer flatpak), but I hate what Ubuntu does with them. You apt install firefox and yet it still ignores your command and do whatever it feels like doing. Why? Why not leave both options available while maybe prefering snaps for inexperienced users (I mean like gui store default to snap)? This is just one thing now, but what might be next? This smells whole lot like Microsoft approach (light version). And I don't like this direction.

    I get that, they shouldn't replace debs with snaps, but offer both. Snap as default makes sense for new users though

    [–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

    Yes, that's why I said gui store might default to snap because that's what new users are using. But when you explicitly put command to terminal and it still ignores it? That's not what I expected when I jumped MS ship...
