I think Ubuntu made sense back in the day when Debian wasn’t as user-friendly.

Now that Debian is, it looks like Ubuntu is trying really hard to just be as commercialized as possible.

I still don’t understand the logic behind their paying for updates for certain programs when Debian doesn’t require it.

I want to install Debian on the USB drive from my currently running OS, Manjaro Linux.

I don’t want to have to boot from Debian installation media to install it on the USB drive.

It’s all by design.

They already have the advantage of not being Nvidia

That’s just because they release worse products.

If AMD had Nvidia’s marketshare, they would be just as scummy as the business climate allows.

In fact, AMD piggybacks off of Nvidia’s scumbaggery to charge more for their GPUs rather than engage in an actual price war.

I don’t think the security issues with windows stem from not having the user enter their password a bunch of times.

Yeah, but you gotta admit it’s possible windows does some things better.

I also think a lot of linux users get tunnel-visioned and believe that something is incorrect simply because it’s how another OS does it.

Thank you for the informative response. I was unaware Windows machines employed similar behavior in corporate environments.

Do you think, then, that it would be acceptable for Linux to remove these restrictions in home environments?

Sorry.

I’m glad you like it.

Has nothing to do with it.

Nope.

What’s sad is the gnome team is so adamant about removing functionality to make their jobs easier.

This means you need extensions to make gnome usable, but it ends up feeling hacked together because it is.

I’ll never forgive the gnome team for their defense of putting the dock on the side with no option to change it or not including something like gnome tweak tools by default.

It’s really obvious gnome died with gnome3. That’s when all the forks happened, and for good reason. The gnome3 team just listens to the wrong people.

I’m glad we have alternatives to that pile of crap.

Hear hear!

It was stable for awhile, but I’m having issues with freezing now.

Do you use gnome tweak tools?

Right.

You don’t like that people don’t like gnome. You care about what they like.

I, personally, think when we love something we want it to be the best it can be. Gnome devs seem to just be red hat employees who don’t actually care about making a good DE, just doing the easiest work while [WONTFIX]ing anything that takes actual effort.

You don’t even talk with gnome devs. You talk with red hat. They’re employees first for a company owned by IBM.

Big surprise.

I see you’re upset people don’t like gnome.

It was based on debian, but moved to arch.

I think they did it because honestly, arch is better for desktop-usage due to its rolling-release model.

Bugs in debian stick around forever.

ext4, just keep it simple.
