Take that person’s post, comparing it to cooking.

Sometimes you use a Library pre-made sauce or spice blend as part of a recipe, so you don’t need to waste time remaking something that is commonly used.

Every so often, a company will tweak the recipe for the things you are using, but it still basically tastes the same. Sometimes they just decide that now it’s salty instead of sweet, so it would complete ruin the dish you would like to make.

The recipe you are using assumes you live in Australia where the new version of the sauce/spice blend is more common, but where you live still only sells the old version.

So now you can either wait for the store to sell the new sauce/spice blend, import it from Australia, or try to make it yourself. But you might have another recipe that still needs/uses the old sauce/spice blend. Needing to have both can lead to issues where you use the wrong one, ruining the food you are trying to make.

This is where snaps, flatpaks, and appimages those dish-in-a-box kits come into play. They’ll have the correct version of the spices/sauces you want, so it doesn’t really matter which version you have in your kitchen.

Snaps branded dish-in-a-box kits are developed by Canonical, and they can be kinda weird. You need to check for updates if you need to re-buy them manually, and you can only get them from the “Snaps Store”. Other dish-in-a-box kits allow you to get them from whichever store you want, and will automatically re-order when needed.

And that’s the main issue folks have taken with snaps. If you have 50+ programs are making a meal with 50+ dishes, and you need to constantly check if you need to rebuy them one by one, it gets old quickly.


Also, Snaps takes up a lot of room, and generally just kinda suck compared to installing things normally or through flatpack.

DerisionConsulting,

DISC, Picard, and the cartoons just aren’t my vibe, but I am glad they exist for those that love the shows.

DerisionConsulting,

I think the best thing is to find a related community to whatever it is you are curious about, and just ask there.

Lemmy is more like a bunch of food trucks in a parking lot, than a restaurant with a long buffet table.

DerisionConsulting,

What’s up with the cum frappuccino line? Is it supposed to be homophobic?

DerisionConsulting,

I was just quoting OP. I am making no claims of my own.

DerisionConsulting,

From your post:

laptop he uses for university. He’s not a tinkerer and wants something that just works.

Mint:

Linux Mint is known for being very user-friendly and stable. Also easy to get help online.

Fedora:

have to install media codecs via terminal

university wifi eduroam doesn’t work on Fedora

less help on the web for Fedora than Mint.

Unless you’re sure that screen stuttering is going to be a major annoyance, you know what I am going to suggest.

DerisionConsulting,

Maybe it was down-voted because it’s “AI art”?

DerisionConsulting,

Just a head’s up, you’re link is dirty. Here the clean version:

The protests played out exactly as most people thought they would. The large cities, who normally vote center or left, had more counter-protestors than protestors. This was not the case in smaller cities and towns, which normally vote right.

Something that I found uplifting is that even in my small town, there were counter protesters. Not more than the pro outting-trans-kids-to-their-parents-so-they-become-homeless crowd, but there was a least a group.

DerisionConsulting,

The oval shape is so a penis doesn’t touch the seat/bowl when you sit.
On round toilets, someone with a penis might need to touch the seat with their hands the whole time they are seated.
