At least we have Mint and Kubuntu

Kubuntu removed Flatpaks in favour of Snaps

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 23 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Mint for the win! I really hope they make LMDE the main branch in the longer term.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

The redundancy is always good, but I really don't see what benefits the switch would provide. The Linux Mint team removed all the stuff they didn't like from Ubuntu anyway when packaging it as Linux Mint, and plus, Ubuntu's software repositories are much more up-to-date than Debian's owing to their regular release schedule. Unless they want to base LMDE on Debian Sid, anyway.

Also check out Spiral Linux. It's a pretty good distro.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

damn, I thought kubuntu got rid of that

Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK

Yeah, it does, but if you try to install packages from apt, it still uses some Ubuntu repos and will try to sneak snaps and snapd in on you.

All Canonical had to do was NOT push snaps through apt and I'd probably be fine with them.

Neither of these are a feature.

Don't buy a Steam Deck then.

What's wrong with kubuntu?
