  • I’ve usually run linux until I got sick of having problems with it and then install windows… until I got sick of having problems with it and then switch to linux again.

    There is no OS without issues. In my experience, that may not be the same as others, linux problems tend to be more frequent, smaller and easier to fix. While windows problems tend to be less frequent but more problematic and harder to fix (I’m looking at you windows update which destroyed all my OS).

    But if you are going to use linux you are going to need to tweak some things. The tinkering to make it all work is easy as the community forums have all the answers (btw windows support forums are the WORST, 99% of proposed solutions are useless).










  • Worse thing about snaps is that the server that provides them is propietary and owned by canonical.

    Open source people tend not to like when things are not open source.

    Other than that they are like flakpacks but blessed by canonical. Sometimes they are more curated or there’s more official releases on snaps that flakpacks.

    Both are a way to deliver software without falling in dependency hell and kind of isolated and more secure(?).

    Also is a way to wait 10-15 seconds to launch a simple app so there’s that.
