Oohh this is something I’d love to have as well.

I feel the same way about Gnome. But I really hate the path they took for the change in the desktop paradigm. It feels very much limiting and empty. More fit for a tablet, as others mentioned.

I learned that the least you customize it, the less you’ll have problems. But that goes with anything in Linux, really.

Aaah I see. Ok. I can see why Nix appeals so much to you.

As I said, I need to try it out. I’m gonna download it right now and try it in a VM.

I have to check it out.

How do you break Ubuntu?

I’m reporting this for trolling. lol

And which one is that?

I don’t know if Flatpak can cover all the scenarios. It seems to be mostly for Desktop apps. I know Ubuntu was able to have system tools installed with Snaps though. However, having apps installed with their dependencies in one package is neat, but it takes a ton more in storage.

Flatpak is a great extra layer to have on top of a regular package manager, but I wouldn’t use it as a sole package management system.

Back in 2000 I started using Linux with RedHat (That’s what they were teaching us in college then.) and got to know RPMs before the automatic package dependency resolution tools. Then I moved to Ubuntu in 2004 and have been using that since, and even had a job where I built custom Linux distros based on Debian where I had to build DEB packages, so I got to know that system pretty well.

But, honestly, if there are better package managers out there I wouldn’t mind changing if it means we all use the same thing.

We don’t even need a new standard. Let’s just settle for one of the existing ones.

Yiff is a slang term used in the furry fandom to refer to pornographic content of anthropomorphic animal characters.

Oh.

You’re both right

What’s so NSFW about it?

For real. I don’t mind the million distributions, but can we agree on one single package manager?

Welp. A small inconvenience is the price to pay if you want privacy from the authorities.

I keep telling friends and family to switch browsers, switch text messengers, even switch social networks and they just complain that it’s all just inconveniences. But then they complain about their privacy.

C’mon.

I heard somewhere that authorities can’t ask you for a PIN but can ask you for a pattern because of the way the law is written.

I’d love for someone to confirm that though.

The Google whose ceo, Sundar Pichai, made Google donate 1$ million to Trump’s inauguration. Then went to the inauguration to kiss Trump’s ass. And then turned the whole “do no evil” company into literally an evil company that develops AI for military purposes, to kill innocent people.

That’s worrying…
