When Windows 10 came out, half of the Windows 7 system got borked. Mine was one of them.
The next day I flashed Ubuntu on a USB stick
Every line is a straight line in one dimension
Mitch Hedberg made this meme
Yeah, he was already on a weird path but after Covid he went down really hard.
I hope he will seek help and get better
In addition to other people’s comments, flatpaks are usually more up to date than their apt counterpart (expecially those from the debian stable repositories).
I run debian and I deliberately installed some software from flatpak (eg. Ardour and Guitarix) because the deb package is a whole version behind.
In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like “can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago” and my reaction was “Yes…”
THANK YOU FOR ASKING, NO IT’S NOT.
I know the name ‘Linux’ is used to identify a family of OSs, but in reality it is actually only the kernel (the part of the system that allows hardware and software to communicate)
I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS
Over my dead body!
I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?
Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.
debian’s default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?
Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.
with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?
sudo apt install new-desktop-environment
, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake
This doesn’t mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?
Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the “netinstall”, which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian “DVD” images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe
Never felt it as judgement :)
It has shortcuts that feel a little more natural to me and the ootb theming makes files more easy to navigate.
I know you can also theme nano but I’m lazy
The first things I install on a fresh linux install are always htop
(task manager) and micro
(nano but better).
Too much effort is equal as no effort at all
If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don’t want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you
I will never stop worshipping Primus and whatever whacky thing they do.
When you burn away that much money, you coping mechanism has to be better than this
