  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Depends on what you consider "working", having my calculator and browser load for a minute or two before being able to do anyting and being unable to keep a specific software version as long as I need to doesn't really work for me.

    Unironically can't tell if this is a comment about using Linux or Windows. Either way most likely a skill issue

    [–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    Never had those problems! I've locked certain software versions before. But, every user has different needs. :)

    [–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    You can only lock them for a while last tine I checked, can't you?

    I've needed an old GIMP version before for a project I was working on. I wasn't using Ubuntu at the time, but would've been pretty screwed if it just updated itself after X months.

    Did they fix the Snap startup time, finally?

    [–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

    There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

    I don't often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.

    [–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    I'm specifically talking about Snaps, I have no issues with native packages and controlling them. The problem is, since apt has become a wrapper for snap in Ubuntu, I can't even really tell what's being installed anymore.

    [–] BillBurBaggins@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

    If you have some weird requirements about holding back packages and startup times that doesn't work with snaps but you insist on using ubuntu rather than every other distro that doesn't use snap... But at the same time say linux as a whole doesn't work for you but windows is better then you are being completely disingenuous.
