From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Now there's a meme I haven't seen in a while.
This honestly seems like one of the only things Snaps could be useful for in the future, considering you can update every component of the system with Snaps in a way that you can't with Flatpaks.
That said, I still dislike Snaps and I think it would overall be better for Ubuntu to use the standard packaging format that everybody else seems to be converging on; Flatpaks.
Canonical's been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it's working?
As a former Ubuntu user, I’m more likely to try Fedora Silverblue at this point.
I like Podman so swapping it out for LXD isn’t compelling.
If you game check out bazzite also 🙏
Fedora Silverblue is great, it's my daily driver.
Just don't ls /dev/loop* 🫣
Yeah just.... Why? Why all those devices? Why auch a mess?
Snap and systemd are the worst things to happen to Linux. Both in Basic, maybe, not a bad idea but the implementation is horrible
I'm genuinely curious about it. I don't like snaps, but it seems like an interesting concept.
It's a distro with 2 major things I hate. No thanks.
snap
Aaaaaand we're done here. Fuck snap, no, bad dog!
Immutable IoT thin-client Snap container-based systems seems like a pretty weird kink, but who am I to judge?
snap refresh me daddy
