If I didn't use Ubuntu LTS, I'd be using Debian.

To the surprise of very few with functional brains.

Sorry why should I be against that?

Silicon Valley needs unions yesterday. Curbing these bros' enthusiasm via the ballot box alone would be very difficult given the amount of money they can deploy onto politicians. Without workers, they can't do anything.

Yeah, I wonder why the author puts ads on their website in 2024 too.

I like snap. On Ubuntu, it does everything Flatpak does and it can also do system components. It's a system that allows to build a complete OS with the benefits of Flatpak. It's a fairly well designed system and it came earlier than Flatpak. It works well for Ubuntu and its developers. There's a lot of misinformation around it and the wider community seems to have jumped on the Flatpak wagon. That means we're unfortunately gonna get mixed classic-base (deb, rpm) with Flatpak apps OSes in the longer term, instead of full Snap OSes. That's a lame compromise but it is what it is. Not the first time the Linux community chooses technically interior tech for ideological reasons. Ultimately we use other people's labor so we get what they decide and that's alright. Classic core plus Flatpak is still way better than the all-classic status quo so I ain't mad.

I feel like we'd have to drastically expand the reliance on GPG signatures for a lot more than email..

If you want to ensure no surprise breakage, you'd want to create your own package, apply the patch and version it a lot higher than the current version of the original and install it. The downside is you won't get updates of the original unless you respin your package based on the latest.

If you don't care about inevitable breakage, the myriad proposed patching processes would work. At some point your patch won't apply and you'd have to go in there and fix things.

Pin compatible with CM4 👌

Still not wrong though.

I could barely make out the straw man hiding between the ads. The author is working hard for them clicks!
