If you ever need more reasons to avoid Ubuntu...

Lot of forks

For AI, Linux users must move beyond [Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) and ... to signed, auto-updated, policy-driven snaps.

This is written as if apt repos don't have package signing, automatic updating or security policies. It does all those things, and does it better.

Mark really has become like all the other South African wannabe-astronaut tech oligarchs.

for those curious you can install snap with this easy command sudo apt purge snapd.

I wonder what Mark thinks of the term "sloperating system"?

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is fucking brilliant!

I heard SomeOrdinaryGamers say it yesterday on youtube.

Edit: Took me three tries to get the name right lol, I don't usually watch his content.

canonical is the worst; hopefully mint continues stripping everything out

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 3 points 3 weeks ago

LMDE is Mint built on Debian. So there's no Ubuntu for them to even strip out.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

Hello Debian my old friend...

Hard pass

And proves once again that Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love how Lennart went from RH to Microsoft. SO on-brand, that move.

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Wat? What are you talking about?

[–] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Uh oh

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My days of not paying attention to Ubuntu sure are coming to a middle

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sick reference, bro! Your references are out of control, everyone knows that!
