The importance of Ubuntu for the future of the Linux World:

Some users act as if most people have 100% knowledge of technology and software.

promises simplicity in terms of installation and use.

After installation, you can start using it even if you do nothing.

One of the biggest reasons why new users can adapt is, of course, Ubuntu.

I won't name names, but people who think they're cool because they can install some difficult-to-install distributions are endangering Linux.

@darth @penguingeek Yeah, it's the not printing part that worries me! Ha! But it's also a scanner that we use a LOT for record keeping, so it really has to work. Fingers crossed.

@BeAware I'm just having fun. There is no situation to be taken seriously.😀

@penguingeek oh no, I wasn't serious. I'm just joking about how everyone says he's an alien combined with the fact that everyone says AI art looks ugly and messes things up. So the joke was, that even though he's missing fingers on one hand, has extra fingers on the other, and his eyes are different colors and shapes, he still looks more human than he doesn IRL.

As usual, no matter what does, it cannot benefit some people.

If Ubuntu use an old kernel, they ask why they don't use a newer one. If Ubuntu uses a new kernel, they will ask why they are forcing it.

Now they may think of thousands of reasons and become defensive.

@penguingeek @popey @freechelmi since I am on a distro so stable that is often refered to as obsolete it is somewhat expected that I use Snaps and Flatpaks, but also AppImages. Usually for desktop apps I chose between Snap and Flatpak depending on which one did app developer chose to support directly. For example Skype Flatpak package is up to date but it’s completely broken, unusable. When I am just testing something I can do AppImage…

@penguingeek @popey @freechelmi some software is not good being packaged with any of those three. I prefer Emacs Bookworm backport instead. My biggest Snap complaint was app startup speed, but that was fixed a gouple of years ago and most apps have migrated to the “fast” format by now.
