I mean how the community refers to him. I’ve never read a thread where someone called Linus a BDFL, I have with python. If they do, they do. Just haven’t seen it myself.
So I did miss that Linus is in the article, but the reference to him says he was awarded the title, which makes it sound like an honour rather than a hierarchical system. I don’t believe that he’s ever been anything other than the projects owner/founder but I’m happy to learn if I’m wrong.
Youre thinking of python I reckon -link to wikipedia
I work in cyber security. Loads of businesses will do all the cybersecurity stuff using a combination of tools on Azure and security OS’s like Kali and Parrot.
That sentence should probably read “on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep”. I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.
Snaps are not very space efficient, I don’t need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that’s a lot of repeating packages.
Because snaps aren’t the only feature the distro comes with. It’s widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn’t a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.
What about all the other pros of ubuntu?
Off the top of my head,
Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it’s solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I’m just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don’t like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn’t windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I’ve literally never had a problem I haven’t caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don’t want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I’d switch but I don’t so I won’t.
I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It’s like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).
You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.
It’s not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there’s guides a plenty on how to do it.
Are you using a package manager or downloading everything from virtualboxs website? When I installed virtual box earlier today it all worked fine so that’s why I ask.
I uninstalled my filesystem. I think I was cutting down on packages and used the purge command at the wrong time. Ended up uninstalling nemo with the purge command and removed all packages associated, including the filesystem. Then I was all surprised pikachu when everything stopped working and upon reboot nothing happened
Best advice I ever got regarding Windows: delay updates for a few days. Sometimes Windows updates break the device, but if you’re part of the crowd that delays for a day or two, they might have fixed the issue by then.
The R in recursion stands for Recursion
Top Level Domain, it’s like .com or .net
I think it’s a fun (hahaha not) part of the hdmi protocol. I have the same monitor combo and the same issue with the monitors. I find that turning one off fixes it (usually Samsung since my Asus monitor completely shuts down for power saving) but I also remember at least one of my distros not having this issue. Unfortunately it’s not Ubuntu which I’m on at the moment so I can’t help but either Fedora, Debian or Manjaro didn’t have the issue.
In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to “default”. It’s not too hard and there’s a gui throughout the process (from memory).
The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I’m sure someone will suggest a fix. It’s probably a
apt install --fix-broken
or something simple (hopefully) but I’m sure we could work it out.Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it’s a TUI front end for Apt and it’s got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you’re always downloading from the closest/fastest source.
