I just deal with snap and don't use it unless I have to. The pro thing is kind of stupid. I have 6 computers and vms on pro. There is no actual check preventing it from working. They have some bug where it appears like your have double the computers checking in sometimes. So when I had 5, it'd show 10 sometimes. So now it just shows 6 or 12.
Everything works fine. I'm ignoring it for now.
Someday I'll switch, but until that day, I'm chillin'.
People don't like Ubuntu because they're(Ubuntu) trying to make money with it. For end users, it's can be a non issue because "pro" is free for 5 computers. But seeing the paywall for some is really off putting to some (myself included).
Snap really sucks and is Ubuntu's attempt at a private garden. I hate it so much.
But yet I still use Ubuntu because it works, and if it doesn't work there's a post somewhere with details on how to fix it.
I've been using Linux off and on since Red Hat 5.2 ish era. I can handle the tech geek stuff. I just don't want to.
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.
"Stop hitting yourself" the older brother says to the younger brother
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.
Andy is short for Andrea, right? IMPOSTER EVERYONE!
