I politely disagree. Finding the Core ISO is harder than the Server/Desktop ones. https://ubuntu.com/download/core

There’s a Build Your Core button. And that takes you to a docs page that lets you download a pre-built image. I think it’s pretty obvious that this is not the Desktop Ubuntu.

Lmao.

This makes a lot of sense

In case anyone wants it, here’s the cover file.

I would suggest not judging distros by what the online community says.

Install Ubuntu and see whether you encounter any issues. If not, who cares about what some meme says.

I don’t see how this matters.

Let’s look at the very worst case possible scenario: Everyone abandons Flatpak and AppImage and moves to Snapcraft, and Canonical decides to make a decision that destroys the store.

You can still install FOSS apps from somewhere, at worst compile them.

All that would be lost if Snapcradt stopped existing are the proprietary apps, which you wouldn’t use anyways.

Not gonna lie, that’s concerning.

So are the drivers your computer likely relies on. Are you willing to buy a thinkpad from 2005 and use a random FSF approved distro?

Agreed. I was inspired to make this masterpiece while reading the comments on my previous meme.

How does Canonical disrespect your rights?

Flatpak can’t run CLI apps. Also, they started around the same time. Flatpak in 2015 and Snap in 2016. This is like saying dnf shouldn’t exist because apt is a thing.

Why would Canonical abandon their own solution because some people online complain?

You could run one and use the other within a distrobox container I suppose

So offering 10 years of support for a release is a bad thing now. Got it.

I politely disagree. Try to look at Snaps this way: Canonical maintains 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04. Each with their own repos. Each has to be properly maintained. With snap they can release the package a single time, and it can be used across all of their releases. I think this is the main point of snap. Being able to use it across other systemd distros is just a bonus.

This is not true.

I remember that one. The applet that lead to amazon with their referral code. From what I heard from Alan Pope, it did bring in money, but even the manufacturers they worked with always blurred/removed it from their promotional materials. So it got removed for good.

Are the Ubuntu ads in the room with us right now? The only thing I remember is apt telling you about Ubuntu Pro. At that point Plasma is adware too for advertising their donation page.

It can be sad to realize that perfect privacy and security can’t be achieved, but on the other hand, what you can’t change are things such as Intel ME, proprietary blobs in android or the linux kernel. It still pisses me off, but unless the FBI specifically targets me, there’s no reason to worry about this, and so I don’t. I instead focus on minimizing data collection, and being in control of my software, which is doable.

Why should this even matter? Every android has a proprietary parts of code that need to be included even in custom roms. In case of ios devices, the entire OS is proprietary. I would much rather use a Chinese android phone with an unlocked bootloader than an american iphone.
