    You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.

    People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed pills drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.

    Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

    “Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two…”

    This comment brought to you by the anti-snap gang.

        Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.

        We are not the same.

        Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it’s free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.

        “But you can make your own!”

        If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It’s in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.

        Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.

        Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it’s still much more free than snaps.

        Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

        Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

          People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

          If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

    “What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

      The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

      L4L, must have showered and touched grass within the last 24 hours.
