    What’s Debian based on again? I think it was some earlier variant of Ubuntu

    sorry, missed the /s, but figured the tree was still worth seeing for some.

    Yep, Debian was (is) a disaster to configure graphics with modern hardware. It was pure open source (even blocked firefox as the logo was copyright protected). They opened up with a non-free repo for hardware support, but already lost the 'market share' on the desktop to Ubuntu (and the load of forks with just a different windoemanager as default... instead of adding a desktop selection on install). Also Ubuntu is offered a lot as option on new hardware.

    With snap I'm guessing users migrate back... (a very few at least)

    Honestly Debian was one of the few that still kept a strong stance on freedom. Its sad that they went the opposite direction. I wish that they would of just broke the non-free into firmware and apps like they have now and then provided two isos. They could have a simple paragraph explaining free software with two links.

    Same feeling, although on some systems you need the non-free firmware to complete the installation. No screen or network is a tad annoying when installing. ;)

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

    That's why they should just provide 2 ISOs

    Someone sampled it and find out it’s pure red.

    You can sample the sprites yourself and average the samples to find out, but it’s probably more red on the spectrum of colors: https://www.mariowiki.com/Gallery:Mario_sprites_and_models

    Oh and I think the comic artist choose Mario for Ubuntu because they thought itd be funnier I guess. Idk!
