COSMIC Themes in c/pop_os@lemmy.world

I'm genuinely curious what exactly is "wrong"?

It's a theme website. GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and even Cinnamon has one...why is this bad?

How much do Americans actually pay for healthcare? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Fun fact: I recently learned life insurance can be used as a mechanism for really wealthy people to dodge taxes. Basically under the right circumstances you can pull money from life insurance policies with little to no penalty (and no, I'm not talking about when you die). High Deductible Health Plans and their corresponding Health Savings Accounts also work the same way, because they accumulate interest and have no tax penalty when used under the right circumstances.

In essence, insurance is a scam to rob those who don't have much means, while simultaneously acting as a money laundering vehicle for those who do.

Wonder if this has anything to do with how the COSMIC tries to give more resources to whatever is in focus on the screen...

Looks awesome! I love witnessing all the progress the System76 team is making. It really makes it seem like anything is possible.

There's way more than these two in c/memes@lemmy.ml

It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:

You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it's kind of sad how accurate it is...

It's funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk...never thought I'd see this day in the US!

Will Pop! OS continue to be based on Ubuntu? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Totally naive question, but is there any merit to Pop! OS continuing to be based on Ubuntu as opposed to Debian?

I ask because of the following developments that have happened over the past few years:

System76 is gunning to develop their own COSMIC DE not based on GNOME
Debian now officially supports non-free firmware in their ISO releases, meanwhile supporting this out of the box was kind of Ubuntu's whole "raison d'etre" in the early days
Canonical is forcing snaps on everyone, and is making it progressively harder to remove them from the system without having very real impacts (I'm hearing whispers online about them "snapifying" CUPS printer drivers), and to get around this System76 basically has to repackage some software into .deb files by hand and offer flatpak integration as an alternative if people want newer stuff.

Essentially, the conclusion I am drawing from all this information is that it's going to get harder and harder to base things off of Ubuntu moving forward, and that other than newer packages (which is solved with flatpaks) there's actually not a whole lot of benefit to basing things off of Ubuntu as opposed to a slightly tweaked Debian flavor...

So with all that said, I'm curious what the community and developers behind Pop! OS think about my line of reasoning. Are there any considerations being made to potentially shift to Debian as a base? If not, are there things I'm not considering? Or (and this is totally out of left field), is System76 planning to become a company somewhat resembling Canonical and create their own distro based on the Debian testing branch?

Would love to hear some thoughts on this, and apologies if this has been brought up before.

Most underrated rom-com of its generation, I tell ya!
