Droidify is just a wrapper for f-droid and various repos… it’s affected in the same way

Pretty sure damn near every Linux DE has an extensions feature.

dnf5 became default in 41.

It also has sudo apt autopurge which does autoremove --purge

Gnome Software does this with offline upgrades. It’s optional. Doing sudo dnf upgrade is the same as sudo apt update && upgrade. No reboot. Obviously you should reboot for kernels and certain hooks but otherwise yeah. You can disable gnome software automatic downloads etc

When was the last time you used Ubuntu though?

Some people could say “last time I used Ubuntu it was full of Amazon ads!” But that would have been like 13 years ago

The thing about Ubuntu that kills me (as a user of it) is the other users who comment on reddit/r/Ubuntu.

They are so confidentally incorrect about so much shit.

Talk about removing snaps?

“Core gnome functionality on Ubuntu requires snaps”

That’s not even remotely true. Snaps download Gnome* runtime libraries for it, just like Flatpaks do to run the snaps.

Just an example but still. I see so much crap like this.

Can’t you read??! They asked you not to ask them. Now me? I can’t read. So dont ask me how I knew what they wrote.

Ubuntu 8.10 in late 2008. while I didn’t use Linux for that long due to a lack of understanding I did come back to it in in a few years to check out I think Ubuntu 10.04 in 2010 or and then Fedora 36 a few years ago and never plan to leave

Yeah AFAIK the only two DEs that fully support Wayland are the big two - Gnome and KDE. and a few tiling window managers like Sway and Hyprland.

I look forward to a world where all modern DEs are fully supportive of Wayland like Cinnamon and Budgie and I know people love their xfce.

Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you’d already have these.

Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla

Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn’t stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years

This is why I use flatpaks. Keeps most of the offending the dotfiles in .var directory scoped to the app itself

My Thinkpad T14s Gen 4 has a few annoying bugs still on linux…

The WiFi chip will randomly be stuck at make 1kbps download speed after waking up from sleep

And occasionally on waking up sleep as well the screen never comes back on.

I wish I had something more compatible with linux even if I do love this thinkpad

Who cares tbh

I love Ubuntu’s default yaru theme, and gnome extensions. It seems currently the best distro on my Thinkpad which is unfortunately pretty incompatible to most linux distros due to the shitty Qualcomm WLAN drivers.

Plus Ubuntus package repository is pretty robust.

The only negative thing IMO is snaps being kind of iffy. I don’t think they are that bad but they seem a little too forced on the user.

Like Flatpak is kind of default on Fedora but they almost never force them on you.

The current beta versions of Thunderbird are implementating a tray icon for linux so soon this fork seems like it’ll only have 2 unique features…

Right people who install various apps like McDonalds apps etc, are these even typical to GrapheneOS users? I’d think most would avoid superfluous data stealing apps.

How doesn’t it work properly for you?

I use the flatpak on Fedora but have used the tar version in the past because the package managed version is hijacked with stupid Redhat marks and homepage that loves to return after being removed randomly.
