As a barista you’ll be an asset

Huh, not heard that one

Same thought different reasoning: the expression “a bees dick” exists. There’s no equivalent for birds.

I recently bought a new wifi part with WiFi 6e capabilities, so my pc sits on a 6ghz bandwidth while all my other devices sit on 2.4 or 5ghz, so my internet speeds are great across all my devices.

Point being I have never felt it more urgent to donate to the Bill + Malinda Gates foundation and I think you should to! /s

Cyber security guy here: we care about 22 for SSH, 443 and 80 for Web traffic, 3389 for RDP and 21 for FTP. Everything else we google and we all have to google 21 and 3389 because we all forget them half the time anyway.

This is a great explanation, pretty much what I would have said

It is quite clearly pronounced “gif” as in “I sent a gif of Yoda screaming while having an orgasm”

Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?

This guy gets it

Because snaps aren’t the only feature the distro comes with. It’s widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn’t a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.

What about all the other pros of ubuntu?

Off the top of my head,

• their power management is better than any other distro for laptops.
• Their compatibility with WiFi drivers is better than many others, granted that’s not exclusive to ubuntu but it is a pro.
• theyre more up to date than debian but stable while actually coming with Wayland support unlike Mint. Timeshift is great tho, good thing it’s compatible with ubuntu.
• their community is much larger than many other distro so support is easier to find.
• it’s just not a bad distro. There’s not a lot of other distros that match its out-of-the-box experience.

Other distros are good. PopOS is good. I chose Ubuntu mostly because it’s solid and stable but also because it has a wide community for help. I’m just getting tired of the narrative that ubuntu is totally crippled by its snaps. This is a linux distro, if I don’t like something I get to change it, which is actually cool. This isn’t windows where I have no control. Also, with snaps gone, I’ve literally never had a problem I haven’t caused. I have the approach of strip out what I don’t want. Arch users install what they do want. At the end of the day, we both are exploiting software we want to use to be productive. If I found myself fighting the os (like Mac or Windows) I’d switch but I don’t so I won’t.

I started using ubuntu 2 years ago and its great. Just disable snaps. It’s like 5 commands (and you have to reinstall Firefox).

You stop snap store from running, disable it from restarting then set apt over snap store as default.

It’s not hard. I did it day 1 of using Linux. Plus there’s guides a plenty on how to do it.

The Windows network troubleshooter is black magic from the depths of hell itself and is very opinionated and selective in choosing which issues to fix and whether you’ll need to bargain your soul to recieve said fix. I have red hair and find it doesn’t bother bartering with me, but your mileage may vary.

The son of the other guy, but same thing I guess lol

I suppose I was lucky in some ways. I stopped using Reddit a few months ago, after 5 years of addiction, but I was on the way out anyway. I had some bad experiences asking for help, never really posted otherwise and just generally the community made me feel like being inexperienced with anything was the same as being an asshole. I moved to lemmy and I instantly started posting more, answering questions and basically just enjoy talking to people on here. I haven’t been back and deleted my account months ago.

Just wanted to add DIYPerks to the list because he makes some cool stuff

I sent a tarball of downloaded movies linux iso’s around once and my family thought I’d been hacked.
