Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Ironic - one of the reasons I like Ubuntu based distros is the easy access to snaps.

    [–] RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

    Fascinating. I was just wondering if anyone could actually like snap and I personally knew no one until now.

    FWIW I'm a long time Kubuntu user and I like it very much. But the snap experience has me on the brink of switching to a different distro.

    I'll use one if it is something more obscure. I do however replace things like firefox and vlc with the source repo.

    [–] lengau@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Switching Firefox from the apt repo to the snap is one of the things I did when using KDE Neon on my laptop (on my desktop with Nvidia I did the opposite on Kubuntu).

    I don't know what you mean about VLC though - while it's available as an official snap published by VideoLAN, it's also in the apt repos on all Ubuntu versions.

    [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Its probably fixed now but for years vlc suffered from several bugs on ubuntu the worst being it launching multiple windows despite having that disabled in settings. I started using the PPA and now I just skip ubuntu maintained versions.

    [–] lengau@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Ahh, well that's a different thing. The snap though is maintained by the VideoLAN folks and part of their official repo.

    I'll keep it in mind but will probably just keep doing what I do. I only reload every three or four years.
