Community rules (click to expand)

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.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Ubuntu’s Director of Engineering says the new hub will be a “snap-first app store” designed around snap metadata. If the same piece of software exists in the Ubuntu repository and the snap store the new store will only make it possible to install the snap version.

    https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/07/ubuntu-23-10-new-app-store-deb-support

    Their plan is to put out more snaps and drown out debs, which is a terrible plan.

    Even your link says they’re NOT replacing the apt command with snaps. And yet above you said they were.

    The snaps-only thing is in the store.

    So I say again: they’re NOT turning apt into a snap-only thing. Please read news carefully before spreading fake news.

    Try installing Firefox via APT and watch it install a snap package.

    [–] bighi -1 points 1 year ago

    Still doesn’t mean every apt package is becoming a snap. Firefox is more of an “exception that proves the rule”.

    And since you’re so desperately grasping at straws here, I won’t keep feeding this conversation.
