Warm take maybe? I actually think that Canonical&#39;s idea of Ubuntu being constructed entirely of snaps and managing things like the kernel and drivers like LEGO pieces is sort of incredible, especially for business and enterprise systems. I&#39;d be terrified of using a traditional Linux desktop operating system for work because one misconfigured package could take down my workstation, which I, like, use for work. But something like Ubuntu Core Desktop would keep things running smoothly, and I have to imagine that Ubuntu Core itself works the same way on the server end.<br/><br/>As much as I&#39;d love to say the same of Fedora Silverblue and the like, the lack of room for enterprise-grade software is just not acceptable right now. Things like Zoom and Slack work mostly fine nowadays, but anything that requires a bit more punch just isn&#39;t possible with a flatpak right now. So it requires layering, which may defeat the purpose of using it at all over Fedora Workstation or any other traditional distro.<br/><br/>#Linux #Enterprise #Work 2025-10-25T19:24:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxewhvvlfgdh05mhepk5yx54jy4upamzfsxvy5suu4mv4nwvaslqqzyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgeznjpe6k It seems like Brennan is going to end every episode of campaign 4 with a massive cliffhanger and a set of question marks and I am absolutely here for it.<br/><br/>#CriticalRole 2025-10-22T02:21:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv66tqe5t024dyq3s9mj4s4zlxgu8ttclth9s547n9rn32whdd37szyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezfuy8um In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxl9kss2mwsrwcxqgd5c58xj832wekssmdwxm8pdvlqklm48ndn8sffh485'>nevent1q…h485</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I keep wanting to try these releases, but I&#39;ve been waiting for Ubuntu Core Desktop to do so for what feels like years now. 2025-10-09T20:22:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstkz458rxw34kzvxsqe8dnfjmc4u5tkyrr3uvn3kge04pdzfzamxszyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgez55d870 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg3xgs4af0gyzfr5dg7ajkvmjm22a45rwv4x275rgu29tch8y8ehqgnzme6'>nevent1q…zme6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Maybe you could try just rolling back to the older version?

As in, keeping the OS up to date. The package manager&#39;s upgrade functionality, which is fully baked into the OS and its GUI web interface, prominently displays a warning at the top that tells you not to use it. Don&#39;t upgrade packages, it can and will break your system: <a href="https://openwrt.org/meta/infobox/upgrade_packages_warning">https://openwrt.org/meta/infobox/upgrade_packages_warning</a><br/><br/>Okay, then why is that feature baked into the OS at all?<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the sysupgrade feature, which is the recommended way to keep the OS up to date, is also baked into the OS, but only at the cli level. If you want to use the GUI web interface, you need to manually install the attended-sysupgrade package, after which point you can manually re-flash the OS whenever you want to using up to date packages, provided that you also (somehow) keep up to date about their releases without the use of a real tool to check for updates using the GUI. Why isn&#39;t that baked into the OS instead?<br/><br/>The whole thing is just very confusing.<br/><br/>#FOSS #Linux 2025-04-15T23:07:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrr67py8ahcmf323dpfn4cdadl6jxt8xwqjsde0vhgsper0xw96nszyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezwzk88l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszytsnlqau3elt7umq3200dwy5ruhlw4a8sc9fq6zs33jq9tfl4mc5t0nnf'>nevent1q…0nnf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As a former Jolicloud team member, I have a huge soft spot for netbooks.

Firefox has been it for some time, and while I can absolutely understand why, I think it&#39;s becoming more and more apparent that Mozilla&#39;s goals don&#39;t really align with those of the Linux community. And to be clear, that&#39;s okay! Mozilla needs to make money. But Linux distributions and users shouldn&#39;t be impacted by that need, now or in the future.<br/><br/>I recognize that projects like GNOME Web are awesome, but I don&#39;t see a future in which GNOME Web replaces Firefox and is shipped among distributions regardless of their desktop environment of choice. 2025-02-27T20:45:23Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd220lqfm0xrsq3ttyvh85lz93s5vy65yttx7hzwm4llu3q0jqmcczyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezqd68cv Every so often I think about how cool it&#39;d be if iOS and Android were still competing with BlackBerry as a platform. 2025-02-27T02:43:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2vqhdpcp8h9l8xyhluj70wgacghf0j7cfwt8ae0f4n4yfzt2mm2szyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezevacfg What are you currently using for search? 2025-02-22T22:38:33Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr4uhpsg5q4txa64qm8scvcja4t4yh3xlsh7lnzg367ala29aqu3szyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezxzmrxh As seen on Reddit, X / Twitter appears to be partnering in some way with Brave for search results in their stupid AI thing:<br/><br/>&#34;We share parts of Input Data with Brave Software, Inc., so we can include Brave’s search results in the Service.&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://x.ai/legal/europe-privacy-policy-addendum">https://x.ai/legal/europe-privacy-policy-addendum</a> 2025-02-21T22:03:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsy070kxhx28z6lkdqm3vyypzjt3q9guwzz2kkcnftva0nv4pr565qzyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgeze2p43g Me, after years of time and effort: Finally, everything in my house is running Linux.

Using Firefox eats through my laptop&#39;s battery much more quickly, even with all of the manual hardware acceleration tweaks in place (which really shouldn&#39;t be necessary at this point). Nothing flat out fails on the compatibility end, but I do notice small things like some video players stuttering or doubling up frames which sucks, especially on an HTPC. Not to mention the fact that Firefox is pretty far behind Chromium in terms of security. 2025-02-01T22:42:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsga8dnjw98gjdp44sqj6cwgmy9ssf36qmdy68gtyzx3a7g3zkerjgzyrq6za5j35l46l0cneeq0aew77788m2kugkf8479n82vuvdendgezdxmknf I wish Mozilla would take Firefox development a bit more seriously. It&#39;s a great web browser, but it does still fall short of Chromium in a number of ways. And it&#39;d be really awesome to have a true competitor out there, run by a more ethical nonprofit.<br/><br/>Props to those who use it right now.
