  • the ubuntu machines at work are nearly unusable bc snaps don’t play well with our intranet setup and it just so happens that ubuntu thought it would be a brilliant idea to make firefox, the default browser, a snap

    slack is also a snap so the support team had to install it by hand so that we don’t get locked out of work meetings while at the office

    this sucks so much bc ubuntu is basically the first distro that comes to mind when ppl think “linux”, so it shouldn’t make us deal with this kind of bullshit. i wish they went back to the days where ubuntu was just a boring repackaged debian

    cool article

    which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can’t use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being “too big” or going “against unix philosophy”, but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s

    edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it
