snap is the naggiest thing in my computer. it seems like almost every day it's popping up notifications that snap store needs to do something and that I have like 4 days left and then I click on the notification and nothing happens. I have no idea what to do. why is desktop linux still such a piece of crap
- matkoniecz 4y ago> why is desktop linux still such a piece of crap Snap infestation is highest in Ubuntu - so I am planning to switch to some alternative (and due to other Canonical excesses like ads in CLI system tools). My current candidates are Debian and Pop!OS.
- rpgmaker 4y agoTry Fedora. I used to be an ubuntu guy, changed to Fedora KDE years ago and never looked back.
- entropicdrifter 4y agoConsider Linux Mint as well. It's about as close to "Ubuntu without Snaps" as you can get while still having a separate community and dedicated devs.
- nequo 4y agoSnaps are annoying. But Ubuntu is not the same as desktop Linux. Some alternatives: Linux Mint,[1] Fedora[2] or Silverblue,[3] Pop!_OS.[4] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux#Silverblue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux#Silverblue [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop!_OS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop!_OS
- entropicdrifter 4y agoTHIS! I run Mint 21 on my main PC with the Liquorix kernel (for game performance and desktop responsiveness under load), and it's everything I want out of a Linux distro. More stable and easy to maintain than Arch or Manjaro, more open than Pop!_OS, and just as intuitive as Ubuntu without any Snaps.
