Can you use snaps with autofs/NFS yet?

A post like this doesn't do anything towards fixing those bugs. I bet a soda you didn't file a single bug report.

That's the minimum first step if you want to contribute to the improvement of those issues.

Sounds like you may enjoy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol) if you haven't installed a browser and tried it.

Wouldn't the larger ones be the ones you'd get the most benefit from compiling?

ITT: speculation by people that clearly don't use/understand Ubuntu.

Are you intentionaly using NTFS for compatibility with another machine? If not, I'd use a Linux native filesystem like xfs or ext4 and add it to /etc/fstab

Have them check with their University if they do any Linux support. If they do - use one of the distros they support so they might possibly have KB articles about accessing University recourses from Linux.

Source: am Linux admin at a University that writes such documentation. I have seen exactly the Eduroam issue you mention and came up with an Ubuntu workaround for example.

You get free software AND you get to empty your wallet?

Expensive if you want 1 hoodie, plus most of us would prefer if at least some tiny portion of the money supported the project.

Hi - been a sysadmin for 19 years and I can tell you why: software that 'requires' Ubuntu. I work at a University and all of our required software runs on either RHEL or Ubuntu. I would LOVE to move everything to RHEL and rid my life of Canonical shenanigans, but we have software that just won't run (in any sane form) on RHEL. The researchers especially love Ubuntu because much of the software used in the LLM/AI explosion is generally released with Ubuntu packages, or install instructions based on Ubuntu package dependencies.

tl;dr - it's not the sysadmin choosing, it's the developer choosing.

In fedora podcast #30 just a week or so ago there was some discussion about ansible and silverblue. I don't think it specifically answers your questions, but may be an interesting listen since you're looking into this. https://fedoraproject.org/podcast/

If you aren't already. Check out "Eternity" for lemmy. It's Infinity, but for lemmy. Feels really nice having basicly the same app, just pointed at lemmy instead of reddit.
