I’m quite aware. I’m currently a maintainer of packages in all three formats.

I simply don’t understand how this is any different from the fact that Ubuntu doesn’t include RPMs?

I generally use avocado and horseradish that I dye green for some reason.

It’s the exclusivity to snaps and nothing else that bothers me. Like, you don’t have a choice but to use snap for some packages.

Seems like a weird take. Before snap came along this was true to the same extent of Ubuntu with Debs. The fact that they’re migrating some of the packages they maintain (that also happen to be the trickier ones to maintain as deb files) to snaps doesn’t prevent you from getting another repo that has the package as a deb and using that any more than your distro not having the latest version of an app prevents you from downloading and building a tarball.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Better to put thin slices of raw fish on it.

The Ubuntu Core Desktop demo at SCALE this year actually got me pretty excited for my desktop in a snap, or at least for playing with that. The closest analogy I have is to NixOS, since it’s way more flexible than just an immutable base.

If I can get some sort of KDE Neon type distro with immutable apps and desktop, I could potentially switch my family over to that and manage it all remotely (really big deal since my family is spread across 3 continents). Landscape is pretty good at remotely managing Ubuntu Core (I’ve not found anything even close for NixOS), so I’m hopeful this would reduce my management work when my family’s current Chromebooks need replacing.

KDE is pretty tech neutral. They publish on Flathub too.

Personally I’m pretty excited about the snaps of more KDE apps, as it’ll allow me to have the latest KDE apps even on my systems where Flatpak just shits the bed.

Next time use arborio rice. It sticks together nicely and creates a protective layer for your keyboard.

Antix would be removing the kinky German stuff, but also no.

Nope

Missionary but with a bunch of kinky German bondage equipment.

Depends what/when you mean.

Debian 12 was released in June and has some newer, and some older, packages than Ubuntu 24.04. For example Ubuntu has LibreOffice 24.2.2 while Debian has 7.4.5.

Debian testing currently has a similar distribution to Ubuntu 24.10, though over the next 6 months it’ll pull ahead of that, but Ubuntu 25.04 will likely have on average newer packages than Debian testing until its beta freeze.

Debian unstable has always had newer packages than the others.

The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.

You mean Windows 2000?

It doesn’t - that’s the point.

Lol imagine a canonical employee using nixos

Fun is scheduled between 10:00 and 14:30.

Surely it’s named after the octets it edits?
