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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project (slrpnk.net)

    "But the Calamares versions have an install option without Snaps"

    Well that also doesnt have a webbrowser and will install snaps the second you want one

    So they have somewhere a dpkg hook but still install it if you toggle that option?

    It is the same thing. Just that base Ubuntu supposedly doesnt have snap, but sudo apt install firefox installs snap and then snap firefox.

    So not sure why the base install doesnt have snap, but it mailny lacks FF and TB which are only available as snap and will automatically pull snap in.

    You should add a PPA before installing so it has a source for non-snap Firefox

    Either that or stop babysitting canonical and use debian instead
