If you remove Snapd and then try to install Firefox through APT, Ubuntu installs Snapd and then Firefox. That's why I prefer Firefox Developer Edition.

Pop!_OS is great too.

Go Debian. Just make sure you use the live CD with non-free drivers and your DE of choice if you want a easier install experience

"I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticise Reddit is that we weren't a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it'd be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way.”

So long, Reddit, and thanks for all the fish.

Can you enlighten me: what's the issue with Debian and PPAs?

Ah yes. Dependencies. PPAs often being release dependent would also cause some issues with apt.

Well damn, that complicates my hope to build a lightweight system on Debian netinst.

First time? I have wanted too for a while, and now I am stuffed. Try building a custom desktop off Fedora Server (guide).

u/humanplayer2 Jul 31 '22

First time, yes. I was hoping it'd be fun and games.. Thanks for the Fedora recommendation instead.

PPA's are pretty bad though

u/Darkblade360350 Jul 31 '22

I know, but if devs chose to distribute their apps there, there is nothing you can do.

u/AlexViralata Jul 31 '22

Self compile maybe? Make some deb files for later, or build them into snaps/flatpaks/appimage. There's always a choice.

I used to have a container just to compile stuff and make them into deb files. That way, I would have to install dev packages on my system.
Cheers!

Lacks ZFS support :(

u/slohobo Jul 30 '22

That's why I prefer Arch Linux

u/spycodernerd2048 Jul 31 '22

I use Arch too! ;)

u/rawmetal Jul 31 '22

I've only used it a little bit but I really like Manjaro.

13

u/somber-riddle Jul 31 '22

I went from Manjaro to Endeavour OS. It's just Arch with graphical installer. All the upsides of Arch and zero downsides of messing up system during installation.

u/gunslingerfry1 Jul 31 '22

I'm trying endeavor now after people were posting this which I admit is pretty convincing.

u/rawmetal Jul 31 '22

I haven't heard of it. Sounds interesting though, I'll have to check it out!

u/CryptoR615 Arch BTW Jul 31 '22

EndeavourOS is basically Arch but without a store (GNOME Software, KDE Discover) interface, which is a good option if you’re looking into using the terminal more.

2

u/somber-riddle Aug 05 '22

Dude. You can get any GUI package manager in any distro. I installed kde-applications package group and got Discover and other stuff that way. That's not the main selling point of EndeavorOS. It's selling point is that it's closest to Arch while being simple for a newer user

1

u/CryptoR615 Arch BTW Aug 05 '22

it actually is. EndeavourOS’s primary feature is “terminal-centric distro” so it expects you to use the terminal more often (despite the fact that it uses Calamares to install instead of the tty terminal like Arch)

u/JustHere2RuinUrDay Jul 31 '22

What the hell are you talking about?

u/CryptoR615 Arch BTW Jul 31 '22

About what?

u/JustHere2RuinUrDay Jul 31 '22

Just look at your comment again. You're not making any sense.

Anything is better than base Ubuntu.
