Is this guy a complete moron?
I hope it’s a rhetorical question and you didn’t just now realize it.
I take my shitposts very seriously.

Never look up the Hungarian name for the bassoon.
Guess I’m not spending that Christmas with my family after all…
So? There’s nothing preventing someone from installing either, and they’re adding Wayland support to Cinnamon.
Switching to Ubuntu is way, way better than staying on Windows.
That being said, Ubuntu is maintained by the Canonical company, and they have made some really sus decisions in the past. Things like putting Amazon ads in the application launcher and then trying to gaslight people when the inevitable backlash arrived.
The meme above refers to Canonical’s own Snap packaging format (think of it like UWP/Microsoft Store apps vs. “regular” Win32 apps), and the way they’re pushing for its adoption. Snap is installed by default on Ubuntu and official Ubuntu flavors. You can uninstall it manually, but Canonical has modified the APT package manager so that when an application is available as a Snap package, it automatically installs the Snap back-end and the application as a Snap package without notifying the user (instead of installing the .deb
-packaged applications, which is what happens on all other distributions that use APT). Canonical recently also ordered that official Ubuntu flavors (which are maintained by independent groups) can’t include Flatpak, a universal packaging format that directly competes with Snap, in their default installations.
Bro, that is literally the first comment on the post! None of the solutions were posted when it was made.
They’re wrong, but you are just being a dick.
XWayland has something called a “rootful mode” where it opens an X11 session as a window nested inside a Wayland session. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3rsqX2pKQ XWayland will be started as your own user, but maybe you could use sudo -u ...
to set a different user.
The other possibility is to switch to another terminal session with a different user, start an X11 session with startx
, and use x11vnc -listen 127.0.0.1 -forever -passwd PASS1234
to run a VNC server that’s only accessible from the local machine.
You can’t say that, they gave us Bedrock Edition!
Really wish they hadn’t.

Ah crap, it’s real. Banks wants to empty the banks, fill our streets with banks, and run a bank making operation out of his banks.
Doesn’t mean they stopped pushing their own shit in places that they have no business touching. I mean:
> apt install firefox
> look inside
> snap
And then there’s Ubuntu Pro. https://feddit.org/comment/2001630
(edit) I just realized that I could’ve expressed the first point using proper English, but my idiot brain immediately chose memes. I think I’m beyond help.
They also make it unreasonably difficult to move a wiki to another platform, even if the wiki’s owners and the community want it.
Sure you would, now. It’s easy to be virtuous when the only things at stake are fake internet points.
I’d love to see you show the same heroism when an excavator in fire department livery comes to your house, rips up your front lawn, damages your water line and underground cables, potentially damages your basement’s walls, and carries off two cubic metres of soil to put out somebody else’s vehicle fire somewhat faster than water would. I’m sure you’d feel great about the damage you’d have to get fixed, even if you ignore the cost. Or do you think that fire departments would just buy dumptrucks to haul soil to fires on the off chance that the reporter correctly identifies the involved vehicle as having a lithium battery?
It’s not ideal, but water with fire retardant is the most practical solution.
Do you volunteer your backyard for such burials?
Nice to finally see someone who knows Penn v. Mimms out in the wild.
…except manage the game’s environment, download and install local files and updates, validate those files to make sure they’re not compromised, provide an API for service integration in games, manage middleware like Gamescope or Wine…
It would be like banning all loud and annoying freight trucks inside city limits, and then wondering why food doesn’t show up in stores anymore.
You can use an offline account with Prism Launcher (I recommend flatpak), but only if you’ve logged in with a Mojang or Microsoft account at least once, or found some other way to bypass that requirement. It has integrated mod support and you can have completely separate game instances.
X11. It will outlive humankind.
Step one, inherit daddy’s South African emerald mine and child slaves.
Step two, use that blood emerald money to fund lots of insane projects.
Step three, wait until the engineers make some of them work. Be very vocal about successful projects, and silent about failures.
Alternative: infest a promising independent project (something cool and futuristic like electric cars), buy yourself the title of “founder”, and act like it was your idea all along.
Step four, offer a completely insane idea to rescue children inside rocket fuel tanks, then accuse your largest critic of pedophilia.
