  • Snap store from Canonical (Ubuntu) hit with another crypto scam app

    Jump

  • I hate them because they make Ubuntu useless for a desktop in an enterprise environment. Snaps have a bug where they will NOT open with a network home directory, which is common for a business ... And now they've made Firefox snap only.

    So for a business environment: you can't even open the included web browser. WTF?

    Do you understand now?

  • First Look at Ubuntu’s New ‘Desktop Security Center’

  • Hey Canonical, how about you spend that effort fixing (or removing) snap instead?

    I still can't open the default Firefox install when using NFS home directories with autofs.

    Ubuntu is now almost useless in an actual business desktop environment.

  • Ubuntu Core Desktop Delayed, Won't Be Released in April

    Jump

  • They probably realized snaps are garbage and are still trying to desperately un-garbage them before the release.

  • 2024 Is the year I will commit to ditching windows

  • They were a pain 20 years ago and they're a pain now.

  • Do new patches that are incorporated in the "stable tree" of older kernel versions make it back into the distros?

    Jump

  • The distro you're using and the model of laptop and a link to the bug/commit would make it easier to answer what you can expect.

  • The magic behind configure, make, make install - How it works in Unix

    Jump

  • You assume everyone has root.

    On a system I don't administer, I can compile and install software in my home directory (or shared directories that I have write access) by using:

    ./configure --PREFIX=/home/myuser/software/

    make # to compile

    make install #without sudo, to install to ~/software/bin

    So when you say "only in (B)LFS", you're overlooking a VERY common use case - especially in HPC and other systems NOT running on my desk/lap.

  • Gentoo goes Binary (packages)

    Jump

  • Wouldn't the larger ones be the ones you'd get the most benefit from compiling?

  • Gentoo goes Binary (packages)

  • For the uninitiated, does "gen" imply source/compilation somehow?

  • What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

    Jump

  • On 22.04 LTS, you can't even open Firefox if you're using NFS/Autofs home directories.

    How is that not taken seriously as a major bug?

  • Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

    Something doesn't add up, or only 2/3 are true.

  • What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

    Jump

  • Don't become so concerned with if you could, that you overlook if you should.

    I would buy a larger drive.

  • Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

    Jump

  • I promise I'm not a troll, but I just don't understand the appeal. That's a crazy expensive piece of hardware to run a currently only mostly working distro.

    Even when the hardware is 100% working, it's still ARM, so anything that's not open source won't run because it'll be x86_64.

    Definitely a chicken and egg problem on availability of ARM software.

    I'm asking in good faith - am I missing something?

  • Where can I get the best quality gnu/linux themed hoodies?

    Jump

  • Expensive if you want 1 hoodie, plus most of us would prefer if at least some tiny portion of the money supported the project.
