My guess is that you have Docker configured incorrectly. Its internal IP range probably overlaps with your real network, so all requests are routed to Docker. Uninstall docker and reboot the server. If that works, reinstall docker and properly configure its internal networking.

Distro maintainers are a lot better about keeping libraries up-to-date than random application developers. They will even patch applications to work on newer libraries, even when the app developers do not.

There’s also auditability. If e.g. OpenSSL (or some other library) gets a high rated CVE and Debian ships a same-day patch, I know I am safe. I can verify that I have installed the patched version, and I know my applications use that patched version. Not with flatpak. Now I’m at the mercy of a dozen app developers, many of which probably value security less than the Debian Security team.

IMHO it’s a mistake for Fedora to drop its own packages for flatpak. But Fedora appears just to be a RedHat experiments playground these days, not a user focussed distro.

Don’t get me wrong, Flatpak is fine if you want to install stuff from Joe Random Developer off the internet, but I trust the Debian maintainers a whole lot more. If they ship it, i can trust it.

Distro native packages are:

• Better integrated into the base system
• No maintenance for the devs (they are usually maintained by distro package maintainers)
• Better interoperability with other packages and dependencies, thanks to the package maintainers
• No duplicate or outdated dependencies
• More space efficient because they use system dependencies instead of packaging their own
• Launch even quicker since they don’t go through flatpak
• No missing or broken features due to flatpack limitations or sandbox issues (e.g. inter-process communication)

If an application is new or niche or small then flatpak is definitely a good option. But if there’s a distro native package then that one is almost always the better option. Flatpak is nice for when there is no native package.

Only install flatpacks if the distro repository doesn’t have the application in question. But I agree about snaps. Never ever use snap packages.

Exactly. removedty mods have been a thing since newsgroups, AOL chatrooms and good old internet forums. Probably BBSes too.

Debian stable has newer packages than Ubuntu LTS. Debian has pretty regular releases these days.

Why not move to Debian? Ubuntu was born in a time when Debian stable had a really long release cycle and wasn’t desktop ready. But times have changed. Debian is a great desktop without all of Canonical’s Ubuntu “experiments” like snap.

That doesn’t mean it’s a smart thing to do…

Why would anyone use Ubuntu on a server? Ubuntu is basically Debian unstable + non-free drivers that they tried to get sorta stable in 6 months. That may be ok on a desktop where you can accept some bugs in exchange for newer versions of the software. But why would you not run Debian stable on a server instead?

Maybe 10 years ago when Debian stable got really out-of-date, but that hasn’t been true in a looong time. Debian releases much more frequently, much stabler, it has all the goid stuff from Ubuntu backported but none if the bad stuff.
