In america, math IS a democracy, and this is why we are losing our democracy.
How do you not get it? Didn’t you buy an eggs box when you were a kid? What was in it? Eggs. Now this is the same thing but with Steam. Your just pretending you don’t get it.
Bro preach. I’ve been out here doing real linux work on an old panasonic microwave. If you really liked linux, you’d be running it on something with less than 16 MB RAM.


What happened this time?

Roll them up, you dufus!
Monica, watch how Trump does it first, then you can go after.

People who don’t pay for the software they use are some of the worst, most demanding, most opinionated and most ignorant users. Source: I use free software and avoid people who “hate systemd”.


See, no big deal if somebody else comes into your system. You’ll be happier.
No devcontainers here. Don’t use ppas - have not in a few years. Last ppa I used was deadsnakes like in '18. Have a bunch of de-chromed chromebooks with Ubuntu in non-stock config.
I’ve struggled like twice with ubuntu on old laptops that had bad ram. Everything else has been smooth and I have customized the hell out of many configs. Lots of new Thinkpads in my past
The snap deal is the most “like totally your opinion, man” thing in the world. Snaps run just fine for me, as well as flatpaks and appimages. Everybody wants to feel some way about Ubuntu adding some shiz to their distro that the majority of us don’t even pay for.
Is it their distro? Yes. Can they add whatever to it? Yeah. Do they need to ask you? No. Does it really change things for you? No.
Now, you are free to feel however you prefer - this is unquestionable. Your feelings are signal but not data, when it comes to software.
I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2008. Still use it just fine. I dunno what is horrible about it, everything works. Have used it on a ton of different computers. Everything has always worked on it for me. I am an old unix bearded person, and a sw eng.
I honestly don’t understand the hate.
Last evening, I deleted a file by mistake in my dhcp server. Five minutes later I had recovered the file from the previous night’s backup and was going about my merry way as if nothing happened.
If humans can make mistakes with the files, you should consider having backups. Having backups is something you decide to engage in BEFORE you have a loss event, so that you are prepared for when humans make their mistakes.
I am a human, and I know I make mistakes, therefore I prep even my silly infrastructure at home to defend against my sillyness.
