Beyond the step-by-step guide, the writer's main page has some compelling words about Windows products being less engaging since XP and the planned obsolescence that was built into Windows 8 and 10.
I do feel like one could also protest bloat and planned obsolescence with a Linux desktop (as long as they aren't running Ubuntu).
- edoceo 5y agoHuh? Is Ubuntu the un-bloated one?
- alekun 5y agocof cof…snap to install calculator
- rbanffy 5y agoIndeed. To use a snap to install something that is pretty much integral to the Gnome desktop and has no dependency on anything other than Gnome, this is ridiculous. Snaps are useful for packaging dependencies that aren't (AND CAN'T in a timely fashion) be provided by the distro.
- reificator 5y agoI think what they’re trying to say is something like “If you want to act in protest against bloat and planned obsolescence you can use a Linux desktop other than Ubuntu”
- tryauuum 5y agomy xubuntu isn't bloated in any way. But I am afraid that they will make snapd mandatory in the 22.04 and I will have to migrate to something else...
