From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it's NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

Because I can't dismiss the Firefox update notification, no matter how many times I update it.

I've had to reboot every time.

Which, way to go you've reimplemented windows xp era updates.

Stop the app and run "snap refresh" and it should update anything that's queued

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes, I did kill the process and update the image though snap.

this did nothing to remove the update notification that cannot be dismissed without rebooting.

Oh, weird. The notification itself disappeared for me when I click it (KDE)

maybe they fixed it, I switched to Debian over a year ago.
