Ubuntu is the only Linux desktop that works with our EDR software (Sophos) and has easy Entra ID authentication with authd

I miss the previous logo, this as a downgrade.

>Ubuntu
>having to deal with snap
Snap sucks I'll stick with fedora.

Get that ghetto ass bix nood shit outta my face.

>>108054317
I like snaps, what's wrong with them?
The main snaps I use are
Firefox
Steam
Kdenlive
NextCloud

>>108053850
Ubuntu and Gnome are the ones responsible for Linux's low adoption rate. Good thing they aren't as dominant as they once were.

>>108054367
>What's wrong with snap
They aren't native, they are just an inferior flatpak. They also are kind of hit or miss on whether or not they actually install correctly. I'd install something and then try to run the command and I'd just report that it wasn't installed.

>>108054367
>what's wrong with them?
Resulting installs are much slower than if you installed literally any other way.

>>108053850
it's probably the distro that gave me the least issues in terms of hardware compatibility since pretty much forever, and I can trust the defaults will give me good performance. I don't use it nowadays but it's always been solid.

>>108054367
installing a snap is like 50/50 on if they have some random bug not present in the native package or flatpak. things like browsers always worked fine but when I tried the steam snap to see how it fared, games would randomly crash on launch when they'd work just fine with the .deb package. also as of last week they've had TWO serious security breaches https://www.webpronews.com/the-zombie-domain-threat-how-expired-domains-are-weaponizing-the-linux-supply-chain/

Feels good man.

>>108054317
I also switched from Ubuntu to Fedora for the same reason.

Installed Kinoite on my 80 year old parents computer with auto-update on boot. It just werks.

>>108054505
>muh "native"
You wouldn't know the difference, this is basically a buzz word at this point
>>108054553
Wrong. In the early days snaps were slow to launch due to decompression but not anymore
>>108054572
This is valid, really depends on how well it was packaged as a snap.
Early on the kdenlive snap had issues and when the steam snap first launched I had issues with EAC games. I don't have these issues anymore though.

>>108054635
>focusing on native
You skipped over the fact that snaps are just a worse implementation of flatpak.
>Won't notice
I'd still rather have native. Its better for battery life. Why bother with a sandbox for an application that doesn't access the internet.

>>108055135
I find it better than Flatpak. The syntax is a lot nicer and it works for CLI
Having an application run via "native" or flatpak or snap would have negligible impact on battery life.

>>108055135
Snaps actually sandbox shit, flatpak is dogshit for that

I finally realized 90pct of the os seething was actually complaints about the gui desktop and thus didn't apply to me.
T Ubuntu server haver

I grew up with Slackware and OG dristros. Ubuntu was the first plug n play distro I used. It was pretty based back then.

Yeah I had "phased updates". Just a very stupid thing imo.

how come no other distro can even come close to their level of visual design? I don't use it but shit looks so nice

How well does Flatpak work on Ubuntu? Does it work well or is it borked?

>>108056279
The same as any distro, why would it be any different?

>>108053850
I really like Ubuntu, I just wish it sometimes did a little less.
I.e.
>disable gdm
>set greetd as display manager
>run normal update
>package manager automatically reenables gdm and disables greetd
Also, in general I don't like that systemd services are automatically enabled by installing the package. Arch got this right imo, you install the package, and then you decide if you want to enable the service. This also mitigates the issue of updates / package install overriding existing behaviour.

>>108055948
Shits too round and reminds me of global village coffeehouse aesthetics if they came all over the place with purple and orange cum

>>108056348
GNOME has functionality like screen locking that is directly tied to gdm, I'd imagine their ubuntu-desktop package has it as a dependency to "just werk". didn't know about the systemd services part though, dunno how I feel about that.

I used to shill Ubuntu a lot but 25.10 has been such a shit release I decided to just give up on it and switch. The rust core utils are dogshit, they’re unstable, break basic functionality, and they’re slow. 25.10 also just casually broke app images so getting them to work is an asinine process when it used to just be click and done. Also games are incredibly unstable now, I’m just trying to do my dailies in ESO and fucking Wayland will just completely shit itself and I have to restart my computer. This happened so frequently I basically gave up.

>gnome
ew no

>>108053850
>install LMDE

>>108056449
Hasn't been my experience in 25.10, although plexamp is the only appimage I use. I upgraded from 25.04 and nothing broke for me.

It’s just Debian with an update manager and worse DE and bloat. Just write an executable update script on Debian and you’ve got LMDE but better.

>>108054317
I wouldn't use Kubuntu if it didn't have snaps.
There's a million and one cookie-cutter KDE distros to choose from, I prefer the one that's actually useful.
