You need the Flatpak buff. It allows you to avoid the 4 turn wait time.
But it reduces your initiative by 4 in the first combat round, and doubles the weight of all enhanced items.

Fedora Silverblue has some issues: They use their own flatpak repo, which only includes packages that satisfy Fedora’s free software guidelines.
In practice this means that the Firefox it comes with doesn’t have the necessary codecs to stream porn video on all streaming sites smoothly.
When you add the flathub repo, you now have a selector for all packages available in both where you have to choose if you want the Fedora or the Flathub version. This would be confusing for your grandparents. Also, when I tried it, it was buggier than I’m used to. Sometimes the software center locked up, or failed to install things on the first try, or update.
Even the entire system locked up sometimes, which really shouldn’t happen on an atomic distro at all.

The general philosophy behind it.
Ubuntu started out as Debian with some improvements.
Once they were established as the primary Linux distro, they pivoted to an MS-like approach. They tried to invent and implement their own solutions for things that an agreed-upon solution already existed, and was in need of manpower to iron out the kinks (best example is developing Mir instead of throwing their weight behind Wayland, or creating Unity instead of improving Gnome).
They also tried again and again to monetize their OS, which they built on top of millions of volunteer work hours from the Debian project.

All of these efforts failed so far. Their current “we can do it better” project is Snaps, which again duplicates volunteer work instead of contributing to Flatpak which was there before.
I’m willing to admit this one does make sense, since their goal is to make an OS where everything except the kernel and the init system is a snap, something which you can’t do with flatpak.
But I’m also pretty sure that’ll fail again.

If they simply built an OS with a Debian base, newer packages, 2 releases per year, an LTS every 2 years, and a GUI selector for Gnome or KDE in the installer, they’d be the perfect beginner distro. On the other hand, then they wouldn’t make any money.

TIL Reddit has paid employees, for what they call the “modcoc team”.

Mint with default KDE would be the perfect beginner distro.

When both are free of cost, I prefer food delivery over cooking myself.
I just use Debian with the barest minimum installation needed to get flatpak running.

The thing with Ubuntu is: Every single one of their releases since 2008 had a “I wish they’d drop this” thing.
What people want is a preconfigured Debian with newer packages and non-free Codecs.
But that’s not what Canonical wants. They use Debian as base to build off of its millions of volunteer work-hours, but very much try to commercialize and monetize their product.

Also, triple-check which machine you’re actually logged into.

You can do that, but then the major updates MS pushes out twice a year won’t install via Windows Update anymore.

Not sure if it was Mint or Ubuntu, but one of them shows a donation box with a default amount when you click download. It’s already downloading when the box shows up, but maybe he misinterpreted that.

No, it’s just that Ubuntu never correctly upgrades between releases.
I’ve tried so many times, and it basically always failed.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an error to gpg.

Read the Arch news before clicking “yes”.

Yes, you can. You can even update Arch after a year. But you’ll have to do a few more steps than just pacman -Syu

Shut up! These arcane secrets are what my livelihood in tech support depends on.

And more than what it will be next month.

Well their stock price just jumped up after this announcement.

When you install a package, it keeps track of all the files so when you uninstall it, it removes them all.

lmao, do a ls -aR ~
