  my main gripe with Ubuntu right now is the way they are forcing snaps into my system under the covers. if i wanted to install a snap, i would be using snap install instead of apt install. forcing a snap install when i use apt install is just total fuckery. fortunately i only have to use ubuntu at work; home is fedora and alma

    Hm, yeah that is definitely a weird thing to do, I’m using nobara (fedora) and it has the app center for snap and flatpost for flatpaks plus dnf for the package manager.

  You just hit both of my points,

  1. Newer hardware has compatibility issues due to Ubuntu’s slower update cycle

  2.ubuntu doesn’t do anything particularly better than any other distro, the marketing pitch normally ends up being “we’re Linux, and we’ve done it a while” because there isn’t any feature that makes it stand out so they advertise on their stability which isn’t that much more pronounced in comparison to a fedora or debian based distro.

  What’s the problem with ubuntu?

  In general I wouldn’t say it has a problem, it does what it says it will do, it’s just that it’s distinct features are quickly becoming the standard or obsolete.

    Fair enough. Personally my hardware isn’t that new; the GPU is 3-4 years old at this point, the rest of the PC is ~5 years old so you would think even the latest LTS which is only a year or two old would support it. shrug

    But yeah I’m liking nobara’s rapid update cycle so far, though I haven’t tried to change GPU drivers with it yet, so I suppose I will reserve a tiny amount of judgement until I have to do that. ;)
