Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

With the release of Ubutnu 26.04, a reminder of what they used to stand for. (sh.itjust.works)

This is from 5.10. Warty 4.10 was the first Linux distro I actually installed, after only using a Knoppix live CD previously. I miss those days. A lot has improved for Linux but it seemed like Ubuntu was onto something. Then in 2010s they lost their way.

Snaps are the big one. I know Pro is free for the average users but imagine if they didn't put security updates for the universe repos behind that sign up? I understand that they didn't get those updates before Pro but imagine if they just gave those updates to all users. I still think it is one of the great all time distros. I just think their focus is more on enterprise than on the average user and I am nostalgic for those early days.
