At least we have Mint and Kubuntu

Kubuntu removed Flatpaks in favour of Snaps

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 23 points 11 months ago

Mint for the win! I really hope they make LMDE the main branch in the longer term.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

The redundancy is always good, but I really don't see what benefits the switch would provide. The Linux Mint team removed all the stuff they didn't like from Ubuntu anyway when packaging it as Linux Mint, and plus, Ubuntu's software repositories are much more up-to-date than Debian's owing to their regular release schedule. Unless they want to base LMDE on Debian Sid, anyway.

Also check out Spiral Linux. It's a pretty good distro.

[-] Bipta@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

What? I'm pretty sure I have access to Flatpaks...

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

https://kubuntu.org/news/flatpaks-and-kubuntu/

It is no longer installed by default, in other words, exactly the same as the other Ubuntu flavours

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

At least it's an easy fix

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Yup. It's bullshit. They just don't include Flatpak in the default OS from the installation media.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

do you mean Kde neon? pretty sure kubuntu has snaps

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

damn, I thought kubuntu got rid of that

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 11 months ago

Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah, it does, but if you try to install packages from apt, it still uses some Ubuntu repos and will try to sneak snaps and snapd in on you.

All Canonical had to do was NOT push snaps through apt and I'd probably be fine with them.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

and also strips Snaps for Flatpaks AFAIK

Neither of these are a feature.

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 6 points 11 months ago

Don't buy a Steam Deck then.

[-] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Fuuuuuuuuck kubuntu

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

What's wrong with kubuntu?
