    Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!

          Amazon based search results integrated in the Unity dash beg to differ. Canonical has a history of being shitty.

            There was backlash, they removed it and never tried anything similar since. But I’m with you on that, the idea was insane and if they pull anything like that again, I’ll be switching away from ubuntu immediatly.

              Well. in the modern day, there’s Ubuntu 22.04 and up with their insistence on snaps for many otherwise native apps. For example, Firefox as a snap and taking anywhere from 30 seconds to up to 2 minutes to launch when you first open it.

              I used Ubuntu for years, pretty much from 16.04 all the way up to 22.04 but that was a line for me and I ditched it for Manjaro. The experience has been much better overall.

              Snaps should be for applications that may not receive updates on current systems or have a hard dependency on old libraries for some reason. Things like Spek come to mind. To use if for something like Firefox, and not only use it, but insist on it to the point you can’t install the native version without ridiculous workarounds… it’s absurd. And on top of this, it’s especially dumb because flatpak already existed prior to snap, but as usual Canonical had to be special instead of working with community standards.

    Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said “Don’t Panic”?

    That was the most panic inducing moment I’ve ever had with any PC.

      I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

    I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.
