I would not claim that Ubuntu is anything but stable. We run a bunch of Ubuntu lts servers at work and there’s hardly any issues. Found a 16.x the other day with over 500 days uptime driving signage. That was desktop version.

I use Debian because of the OSS focus, and stability. And because I know the distro fairly well. They’re conservative in choice of tools and for instance only went full systemd a few years back (5?)

I don’t mind systemd but I don’t mind sysv init either. Even slackwares scripts worked fine. If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

There’s like one directory left after my uninstall - I don’t do this by hand though so I’ll have to look up the playbook.

My first line was the snap remove

Might need an autoremove —purge at the end to clean up.

Does pipewire interface directly to drivers or is it user-space magic on top of alsa like pulseaudio?

Nice try canonical - no matter what you say snaps is just your way to lock people in to your store. You’re no better than apple, only your product is shit. Excluding the shoulders you stand on, which are made by others. You’re the enshitification of Linux.

Why would you pull debs from random sites? Do you know how hard that is to do for the average user? And you want to compare that to a download from the store that’s in the basic install on Ubuntu?

What’s wrong with just removing snap? When ever I am forced to install Ubuntu I will remove snap and the “advantage-tools” (the part trying to sell you support)

First I’ll snap remove —purge all snap packages Then apt purge —auotoremove snapd ubuntu-advantage-tools

You’d have to wait a while for Debian to reach version 24

I like Debian - it’s foss and stable

If you can - separate host and storage. Run what ever hyper visor you like - Xcp-ng is also good. Any nas is good

I still don’t understand flatpack on Linux. I see how it makes releasing binaries easy, but the cost and idea is contrary to basic unix principles.

There’s 0 need for Linux to grow. It powers 80% of new web-apps, runs the big gaming systems, parts of azure and aws. It’s the go-to server os for most use-cases.

The Linux desktop needs to mature if it’s to grow. Non-tech users don’t care for “new and innovative ux paradigms”. They don’t wanna scan the internet to figure out why sound is missing after upgrading to pop_os 4. That or they need someone close by to fix it for free

And they have to use locked keys? In a setup where they don’t need encryption?

Could also be docker network-config. Docker should by default use the hosts resolver config if there’s nothing in /etc/resolve.conf

You can also supply dns server on the docker command or in your compose file if you’re using compose.

As a last resort you can enter server and ip i the container’s /ets/host file if the ip is static. But that’s gone once you rebuild the image.

Or maybe there’s env on the container you use for dns
