Ubuntu (and its flavor) just works, have a big community/ecosystem, and have the advantages of Debian


I installed Ubuntu recently and my experience definitely wasn't "it just works", getting constant notifications that applications need to be restarted to update and multiple "Ubuntu has failed" popups (which seem to mean literally nothing) don't feel like it's just working to me. It actually seems like everything the OS does is janky in some way.

Even putting the OS aside I believe some of the jank is caused by Ubuntu's insistence on trying to usurp applications installed via apt to instead install them via snap. This is why my Firefox install wont allow me to copy text at random, and why I can't drag and drop files into Telegram, and why every file I download has to be dug up from some deep .snap/ directory before any other application can actually load it.


I abandoned Ubuntu when they started pushing snaps. Zero regrets and Debian has been great.


Except the advantage of not having ads in the command line and not having confusing messages that some security updates have been withheld unless you sign up for a pro version.


I am a bit confused, is the Option #1 and Option #2 in the text and diagram swapped by mistake?


Hi, SPR team here -- i'm afraid the paragraph is out of order from the diagram. Our apologies. the text should be interpreted separately


How is your experience with printers?


HP's SUPD has support for ARM-based platforms, which I have found to work well on the more modern printers I have tried


Does anybody have experience with printers with Windows on ARM? How are the drivers situation?


Good question... personally I've been using hp laser printers over network for years and they work with everything I've used. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android phones and tablets without issue.


Probably related, is it possible to create my own eSIM?


agreed, they got rid of package.json just for them to rediscover its convenience and reinvent it later


+ Presto from Facebook


I love this, so convenient. Any plans for python server?


Amazing. Can it sync to Google Fit?


Anyone know what tool is used for creating the architecture diagram? Its style is similar to alibaba cloud's architecture diagrams


I second this.

if anyone knows, do share.
