I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.

Have you met Windows admins? 😛
In fairness, I’ve seen some Linux admins become completely hopeless as soon as any GUI appears.
… I am, though.
I guess it depends on habits, then. I use them all the time. Not as much as folders, but enough that I would rather the 2 have the same behavior.
People will be damned if…
Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?
Every now and then, I consider using a Google product, and then I remember this.
Good thing there’s an arrow pointing to the device, otherwise, I’d have no idea what he’s talking about!

I would think so too, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was a catch.
You’re right, but is it easy to convert a VM to a physical machine? I’ve never tried, so I’m genuinely asking.
If you’re interested in making a full jump to Linux at some point, then you’d probably be interested in dual-booting instead of using VM for Windows or Linux.
This is why I never bothered formally learning anything computer-related in school.
For end users, it seems like everybody is mostly content with all the options available except Snap.
I agree that Linux Mint is closer to what the vocal Linux desktop community would like to see, but Ubuntu is anything but abandoned. Where I work, both my coworkers (excluding myself) and customers are either using RHEL or Ubuntu. That’s it. Sure, everyone on Lemmy and Reddit swears against Ubuntu and has no need for plain-RHEL, but a lot more of the non-vocal Linux community is using Ubuntu. I prefer Pop!_OS, but that’s besides the point.
