I’m switching to Debian right away, this is nonsense

    I mean…

    They have GUI system upgrades, this is kind of a pain in Debian

    Okay, now I updated 12 laptops from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 and…

    • it always hangs at “swap deb Thunderbird with snap”, like, always. 12 times.
    • the wallpaper is gone after the upgrade, every single time
    • there are like 10 buttons to click
    • you need to be a sudo user (the updater shows but just vanishes when being a nonsudoer!)
    • on 2 machines some random repo issues caused a silent error. Needed to apt update in the terminal, fixed
    • there are tons of snap packages, and all are outdated, yay! Installing those on a sudo account causes them to fail on the nonsudo account.

    Damn this is bad. And this is like, the best of the best distros?

    Doubt that. Fedora Atomic has way more potential, while only being user friendly as uBlue.

      Every couple of years I think to myself “Ubuntu can’t be that bad, can it? I must be misremembering. Surely it’s just some combination of my memory exaggerating how terrible it was and my lackluster Linux skills, which have since improved. Everybody still recommends it as a beginner distro, right? Why’d I stop using it?”

      And then I download Ubuntu.

      And then I remember.

        It works great as a quick and easy WSL module if you need to quickly patch the kernel of your embedded Linux device at work 🤗, well, maybe it would have been just as easy using just debian, to be fair 🤔

        I mean I could list you at least 5 things that kinda suck on Fedora Atomic. But yes the core principle is so much better.

        Multiple reasons why this is not a good option.

        • no fwupd
        • no flatpak
        • still requires sudo
        • mint uses XOrg and is very limited
