Let's start a conspiracy theory. Although these days everything can be true:
It was heroine but someone in the police department syphoned the heroine, replaced with water and agreed with the defendant that they'll get a slap on the wrist if they followed along.
So, now, someone has some heroine on sale!
There may be technical things we may not like about Ubuntu, but Ubuntu has been the flagship distribution which has brought countless people into Linux. After that introduction, many have gone to other distros.
There are successful distributions based on Ubuntu, so Ubuntu doesn't limits choice or freedom.
I don't understand shitting on financial success of FLOSS. Remember, free as in freedom, not necessarily as in beer.
Ubuntu doesn't prevent you, technically or legally from disabling snaps.
I rather not use Ubuntu, though but I think the impact has been a net positive.
Why not?
The word "can" Is doing some heavy lifting here. I mean, there is a difference between theoretically possible and actually being done.
Beat me to it. That was my first thought.
Yes, but they only sell in packages of 6. So, who needs 120 Megatrons? In the long run it's better to buy just what you need or you end up nuking cities you didn't want to nuke originally.
That was an interesting choice of words "inside"
I thought DEs were around the WM. This is, you run a WM in a DE.
Hahaha, we can always hope.
The reason why Maduro is in power is the US. Plain and simple.
Hadn't the US propped puppet right wing governments in Venezuela, there wouldn't have been a need for a Chavez mesias.
The US doesn't care about drugs. They care about Venezuelan oil and continue tal hegemony. That's it.
So, it's not only Trump. It's every single government before him.
Show of hands: who expected high ethical standards by Nestle's CEOs?
When OP says "layout" I think he means the old as windows 3.1 layout and workflow. It was good in the 90's. Now it feels cumbersome and dated.
Don't get me wrong. I know that's the main selling point of Mint: Familiarity and stability. I settled on it for 19 years after I got tired of distro hoping. I've contributed financially to it every month for years.
However, it's that cumbersome workflow which got me back into Gnome where I use only two extensions: transparent task bar and window autotile.
Gnome on a laptop flows naturally and out of the way.
I think for me the wave has more peaks and valleys.
I get to the last stage of good knowledge and decent confidence but then something new comes and I feel I'm ready for punishment again.
My first Valley of despair was Gentoo. 6 months of constantly compiling stuff and rarely using the computer for anything else. But a bit before that it was Fedora. In those early days, updates would continuously break my system.
In that first round I finally settled for Mint for years. After years of stable Linux Mint, I found my self with time and curious for Arch. And yes, that became the new l valley of despair. But eventually my stable instance.
But new things come and Wayland and new sound systems replaced what I had in my installation. Arch was again the valley of despair. And moved to Fedora, which is as stable as stable can be. I was traveling for the last two years so, no time to mess around.
Now back to arch trying to figure out the Wayland/Niri ecosystem. Let's see where I land.
However, in my dual boots I always have a working installation I'm happy with and another which I mess up with.
