Interesting, thanks for the research!
Snaps are unsandboxed on Systems without AppArmor so they are not a useful cross platform technology anyways.

On Fedora is is likely just named differently ;) it for sure has at least Flatpak support.
Background is that flatpak is used directly, not through packagekit.
Have a look at packages.fedoraproject.org
Nice! I had one class where we had modelling and the teacher literally used some form of openSUSE Leap with XFCE (looked horrendous).
And they had a Virtualbox machine image, as that was most common to install, and everyone had Windows.
She used zsh and had a really strange program that was all over the place, I was not able to get it running on Fedora Kinoite, and still have no idea why.
That was crazy.
In the other classes, Windows everywhere and quite some windows only software. While we actually had Nextcloud and OnlyOffice but nobody uses it!
Like, the dead CentOS?
Especially as a VM cannot do a ton of things like aircrack, which requires full hardware access and a kernel module
I am not sure what distros those PPAs are for, may really just be for old versions.
Use udisksctl mount
and not the old mount
command. This should work. No need to change ownership.
Those are placeholders. Your user has a name and is in a group. No idea what that group is called like. For root it is root:root
I would advise against that. Udisks2 should mount writable always.
Arch is just a distro. What DE or Window manager are you on, Wayland or still XOrg?
rofi and wofi are a good example how this question makes no sense.
On Ubuntu, do you also remove the Snap store and install gnome-software?
Do you add the PPAs for updated flatpak version and dependencies like bubblewrap?
Because Linux is just a kernel.
It is pretty easy on KDE.
Yes I know, and no they use GNOME with a few extensions, they have abandoned Unity since quite a while, I would wonder if there still was a supported LTS with Unity.
More memory because Firefox forks browser tab processes to save memory, and you spawn an entire separate browser with more processes apart from just the one tab.
They support Unity???
The issue is that, no Ubuntu is not “the Windows” of Linux.
First of all this statement makes no sense. You could say “the Samsung of the Android world” as Samsung Android is a Distribution that looks nice and many people think it is nice to use (leaving out that it is the most spyware-riddled software on locked devices with horrible customer treatment)
Windows is just one OS. Android is an easy variant of Linux, and Ubuntu was one too.
Nowadays, uBlue Aurora/Bazzite would be my “best Desktop Linux”, because they implement all the great, easy and modern stuff of Fedora Atomic Desktops, while also removing stupid opinionated things, and adding packages they legally simply cannot ship.
Ubuntu is not easy anymore. Distro upgrades are a mess and break. I had 12 laptops, all had the same 3 issues and updates took forever.
Ubuntu requires a sudo account for them to even work, a nonsudoer gets an update message but clicking it does nothing.
I.e. they dont use polkit, unlike Fedora for example.The paradigm of
Is just bad. Android works without root since forever, and I would say it is the easiest Linux distro out there.
They have their own strange icons, which look worse than GNOMEs. They have their own strange store instead of using and improving GNOME Software.
Their design sucks in comparison to Manjaro if you ask me. Most personal point of this list. Many other Distros just ship GNOME, do the packaging and leave the Branding to small changes, and the upstream DE.
Snaps are not cross platform, while Flatpak exists and is cross platform.
Ubuntu doesnt even have uptodate flatpak and dependencies in their repos so the Flatpak project maintains like 6 PPAs just to run them on Ubuntu.
Snaps are not cross platform because they rely on AppArmor for sandboxing, and afaik custom AppArmor patches that are not in upstream.
This means Snaps on Fedora and others would run Snaps unsandboxed.
Technically they are fine. Pretty normal approach. But their repo hat big malware issues and they only allow a single one, which is a total nogo for any opensource project.
Snaps installed by other users with sudo cannot be opened by other users. You need to install them per-user, no other option possible.
Flatpak requires wheel/sudo too, I need to make a Fedora Change request to fix that, my previous one got rejected…
They only ship KDE on the LTS variant, which means by now it is very outdated. KDE is the most windows-like desktop, and also has the most features, by far. I tried GNOME and made a writeup on Fedora discuss.
They bloat (at least) their (LTS) variants with tons of deb packages.
They dont integrate timeshift or other backup systems. Linux Mint and OpenSUSE are better here. Fedora Atomic Desktops too, while traditional Fedora not.
If you dont print, this is pretty good. CUPS can simply be disabled using systemd though.

May use a little more memory but may be fine. How do you do this? Ctrl+N always?
Yes I would love to have mail notifications etc for security updates.
Currently setting up a server, CentOS installer didnt boot so my lazy ass just rebased to securecore (Fedora IoT -> uBlue uCore -> secureblue) which is very nice but rolling.
With LUKS encryption, which I want and need, this is problematic, as I need to manually type the password afaik. TPM unlock didnt work even though I have a Nitrokey with a TPM integrated afaik.
Yup but people dont care to maintain it. It was barely maintained for a longer time
