[β] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Snaps, I think I'll pass. Even without them, I don't have time to uninstall/remove everything I don't need. DIY distros suit my needs more, but thanks anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] vegantomato@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I understand that this is a meme, but dismissing one of the best distro family because snaps are included is dumb. It is easy to uninstall snap entirely. The only serious bummer is that the Firefox deb-package is now fake and only installs the snap version of Firefox. Go get Librewolf, which is basically a hardened Firefox, and use their repository. It is fun to meme around when it is with people that are familiar with Linux. But some Windows/MacOS users who are interested in Linux might take you seriously. Ubuntu and Ubuntu-like distros are really good in terms of ease of use, support and compatibility. My first recommendation for a new Linux user is Ubuntu or variations thereof. permalink fedilink source parent
