I enjoy y'all acting like this couldn't happen with flatpak or AppImages

Where I use to live was all private. CenturyLink was the only option as they had an agreement with Comcast that Comcast wouldn't come into my area.

I paid $60/month for 500kbps down. Yes kilobits.

Snap store does similar I believe

Weird as my AppImages work fine on Ubuntu 22.04LTS

I do the same but I still have a preference. I agree it's dumb.

I'll take snaps over flatpak myself

All good things must come to an end I suppose

Gotcha! I've never done that before so it didn't occur to me to do it.

Luckily Xubuntu did the trick on that old laptop

Change the repo to what?

Mine wouldn't work with the proprietary driver installed but worked without it lol

I didn't care for PuppyLinux as it didn't run well with even just Firefox open. I also didn't care for the updating structure that seemed to be the idea that you just don't update packages between releases. I could be wrong on that, but that was what I got from reading on how to keep things up to date. I did like how small it is and how it loads into memory on boot.

AntiX wouldn't let me install any packages or update. It would keep telling me I needed to wait a few hours to access the repos. I did like how you could swap between several desktop environments easily.
