@Linux_in_a_Bit@infosec.exchange Canonical *really* needs to abandon the whole snap effort. Flatpak has won desktop containerization, Docker has long been the choice for server containerization, there is no point in a Ubuntu-only containerization solution.

@justindz@mastodon.social I'd try:

• #LinuxMint
• #PopOS

Based on Ubuntu (or Debian), but no snaps. Both work great with flatpak if you want that.

I've had fairly good luck running Steam on PopOS, but I also used AMD GPUs. YMMV.

@artbysarahsammis agreed; I love this picture

@leona@social.infinitespace.dev oh no, there's *another* one

@xocolatli @CowMan @Natasha_Jay @xgebi @benlockwood *cough* PalmOS *cough* Apple Newton *cough* PEN/GEOS *cough* And yeah @CowMan , I miss Maemo and the Nokia Nxxx devices too 🥲

@justindz@mastodon.social Well, there's the obvious difference between Cinnamon with Mint and COSMIC with Pop. In my mind, Cinnamon is similar to Windows, while COSMIC's paradigm is more GNOME-like. The update applications are very different too; PopOS likes to put all of the "system updates" into a sort of bundle, while Mint's Update Manager deals more with individual packages. Mint's tool will also update flatpaks if flatpak is installed. Of course, apt update && apt dist-upgrade work as expected if you want to use the command line. Pop has a specific download for use with Nvidia GPUs, so that *may* give you some extra help if you have one of those. Most of my systems have either AMD or Intel GPUs, and both Pop & Mint seem to work fine.

@alexanderkjall ditto on spending too much time, & agreed they should have notified distro maintainers 😑
