Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!
Ubuntu could have taken windows spot
They are nowhere near close to windows
Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.
There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I’m with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I’ll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.
Well. in the modern day, there’s Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.
I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.
Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can’t install the native version without ridiculous workarounds… it’s absurd. And on top of this, it’s especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.
But that delay in opening is only for the very first time after installation, it does not affect any subsequent app starts, even after you reboot. In real world performance, snaps are basically just as fast as any normal app in my experience. And you need to keep in mind what the idea behind ubuntu is - they want it to be useful to experienced users as well as newbies and tech-illiterates. Snap automatic updates are honestly really nice if you don’t want to think about updates and canonical have done a lot of work to make the experience as smooth as possible, and the sandbox is a nice bit of added security. They are very versatile too, allowing any type of software to be a snap, from little terminal tools to full-featured nextcloud instances

Thanks for the link.
Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said “Don’t Panic”?
That was the most panic inducing moment I’ve ever had with any PC.
I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.
I’m (well, I like to think I’m) a very stable person, and it freaked me right out.
Boss/teacher: Is your project ready to present yet?
Linux user, still tweaking colors and theme options in their DE after 4 years: Let me finish setting up my device!
Windoof on my computer got an update last week. I wonder when it’s done. /j
(But seriously, it took almost the whole evening.)
“New device detected: mouse. Please wait…”
But the mouse is already working dude.
At least it doesn’t make us restart afterwards anymore.
“Mouse movement detected, please restart for changes to take effect.”
I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.

Why though? That looks like an XP era game. Does it not work with proton?
Ran into a game breakinf bug on linux. Maybe they patched it by now, but I doubt it.
