Am I the only Ubuntu user who actively avoids the GUI and only uses the command line for updates?

I still use Gboard with internet access disabled (Graphene). I tried them all, this is the one that seems to work the best for swiping.

What jam bottle has a handle? But then after you know, it's the lid on it's side.

I mount a filesystem from a nas which is backed up to S3 with my other data.

Is it though? Sure he could hire a programmer, but Claude is far less expensive. I agree with his position, he's a project/product manager, not a programmer. And that's okay sometimes.

I think it's that it feels like someone has an agenda and this is posted over and over and over again.

There's always a few quick responses of "oh I didn't know that" followed by outage posts slightly later. Same pattern, every time.

It feels very manufactured to me. On one hand, I do understand the core complaint, but I don't understand the outage. It's outsized to what this is, so it feels fake.

Can confirm! I installed it on my son's computer earlier today. Ubuntu 24.04 reporting in!

Upvote or downvote, I cannot decide. I'm both laughing and terrified it could happen.

I came here to say this comment. I am often telling people that the Dany's ending was by far the most likely outcome of her path. But she went from hero to villain in 2 hours of screen time. It's awful showrunning and producing.

But downloading deb files is how you install things on Ubuntu. Just like app files on Mac and exe on Windows. Like, any user needs to do the absolute bare minimum and understand the os they're using.

If the requirement is that Linux needs to run exe fines just like windows, then that's not reasonable and the user should totally just continue to use windows. They deserve the ads.

But if you read the 1/4 page install instructions for steam and Linux, follow the directions, then your things will run just fine. THAT is what people mean when they say Linux works great for users.

I see you tried particularly hard: did you actually select the proton runtime for the "random" game you selected? I've quite literally have ZERO games in my library that have not played on linux. It's not a fully complete or random sampling, but I've gotten everything to work, but you do have to do the bare f-ing minimum step of turning it on.
