Yes. Now if you use apt to install Firefox or Thunderbird, it will reinstall snap and install the snap versions of those programs.
If you blacklist snap, it’ll throw an error when you try to install Firefox or Thunderbird cause it can’t resolve their “dependencies”.
You’ll have to install those programs from outside of Ubuntu’s repositories, and the list of affected programs is growing.
Ubuntu’s stated goal is to eventually use snap for all userland apps.

You mean old Ubuntu?

Framework’s choice for display isn’t Linux compatible.

They really should have set the option Make_Discord_Blurry_On_Framework_Laptops to "false" in the Linux kernel.

Endeavor and Arch both default to a Wayland session currently.
(Tested yesterday)

Can Firefox install websites as web apps?

Sometimes I long back for the times when I just used my computer to do things, instead of forming an opinion about the compression rate of my cursor’s image data.

Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use

Yes, as long as you maintain it.

would restoring home with BackInTime just work

Nothing in EndeavourOS really “just works”. You have to install and configure the stuff you need.

Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.

Not anymore. The default installation doesn’t use the Linux-libre kernel and enables non-free firmware.

Every once in a while I check up on what reddit looks like now.
I find the same or similar topics posted, with 600 comments instead of 30, and 570 of those 600 are just whatever’s the first thing that pops into everyone’s mind after reading the post title.
I like it better here.

The perpetually online type is on Mastodon.
Here on Lemmy are the people who disconnected from social media, block or boycott 95% of today’s internet and self-host matrix servers to discuss about self-hosting matrix servers.

Android is Linux, too.

It will reach Slackware about 6 months before the heat death of the universe.

obviously loads of stuff is gonna break on arch just due to the bleeding edge release cycle

I keep reading this as if it was fact, but Arch never broke anything for me in several years.
You do need to do a bit more to maintain it, but IMO it’s less effort than a release upgrade on a versioned distro. And if you automate it you only need to deal with it once.

Where’s the difference to other distros for this?

I know people will disagree, but the correct answer to “I’m new, what distro would you recommend” is Mint. No list required.
It’s a capable, easy to start with, general purpose distro that works like Debian, one of the Linux gold standards, under the hood.

It has its flaws, but it gives you a fully functional system with everything an average user can expect from Linux, by clicking “Next” a couple of times. And it’s never really the wrong option no matter what you want in a desktop system, freeing newcomers from the overwhelming options that are out there.

So use Mint until you know which distro fits you better.

I get why you’d buy a T-Shirt that says “Debian” on it, but why in the world would you buy one that says “Debian 11”?

I don’t know if that counts, but on a fresh default Debian Stable system, my cat walked across the keyboard and the DE crashed.
I could still switch to another TTY and reboot via command line.
After the reboot, I was greeted by a blinking cursor and nothing else. Had to reinstall.
