That’s not inherently bad. With Flatpak, you can pull your applications from any server, without any verification that the software hasn’t been tampered with. At least with Snap there is some control over that, no?

Also, I can’t tell you how many times flatpaks failed to download due to server errors. This hasn’t hasn’t happened with Snaps yet.

For the record, I do prefer Flatpaks over Snaps for its ease of use, access controls, and control over when I update my software. This is something I have found difficult with Snaps.

It means they paid money or provided a service free of charge or with a significant rebate in exchange for advertisement. It’s probably no more than that.

It has begun. Trump unleashing the army against the population fighting against his gestapo.

Bottles is the way. You can set up bottles (Wine prefixes, or environments) with predefined libraries and Proton for games. You simply run the installer through the GUI or add a shortcut to the executable.

You’re welcome! :)

Mint, or any other flavor of Ubuntu, don’t come with the third party driver installer GUI application. You have to read documentation and go through command line to install the correct driver.

Yes.

No I think they mean the Docker Desktop application. The commercial GUI to docker.

That’s the most likely source of the problem. I’ve had this same problem before.

Ubuntu. It has great Nvidia driver support. Everything works practically out of the box.

Just an anecdote, I would LOVE for ffmpeg to have a GUI.

I got it here:

From what I understand, they are using something like a pixel with associated JS code on a website to ring up their respective apps on localhost on the device to share browsing history.

So if you’re using uBlock and Privacy Badger which block these things, I think you shold be ok, yes?

Kubuntu would run just fine on that machine.

I thought it was a new window manager lol

I’m pretty excited about this.

It is a holocaust, essentially.

Trying to save people from a holocaust is not stupidity.

Vive le Québec !!!

Snaps aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. The only problem in Kubuntu is thflathead. Independent app to manage Snap security and access like flatseal. There is one, but you gotta install so much dependencies that you almost end up with the whole Gnome desktop. Otherwise it’s a great solution for use in Ubuntu Core for example.

I do prefer Flatpaks though.

Personally I prefer Kubuntu.

I find Mint’s or Cinnamon’s look and feel a little too outdated. Reminds me too much of Gnome 2.

And Gnome changed their whole desktop paradigm since Gnome 3. I find Gnome 4 more suitable for a tablet. I feel too constrained and limited by it on a desktop PC. It’s awesome on my Surface Pro tablet though!

KDE Plasma kept the classic desktop paradigm like Windows, with a fresh modern look and tons of customizations. (Though I try to limit those as much as possible) You can configure it to your liking and add tons of really practical shortcuts. Its applications are also very powerful. Much more so than Gnome’s I find, which are more minimalistic.
