Used it for 2 years on desktop and server.

Documentation is always outdated and useless. GNOME is crap. apt has a dependency issue every week. Repos have software ranging from bleeding edge to horrendously outdated. Netplan is next level stupid and also decides to break for no reason. Systemd waits for network to boot by default because reasons. Versioning and LTS adds more magic fun to doing anything because of the aforementioned documentation. Last time I used it, still had crap interoperability when switching DEs for some weird reason. Canonical is the big dumb dumb. All the downstreams inherit the same problems like PopOS and elementary.

I took all of that experience and thought it was the default linux expectations until I got to try Debian for server and Fedora for desktop.

Unfortunately, people make the same mistake as me and then assume broken Ubuntu is just how linux is.

Credit though, it did get to teach me the general ins and outs of linux because I needed to fix or change something every other week.

The swiss army knife should not be Ubuntu lol. Ubuntu would be like the dollar store knockoff that falls apart with use.

Google is like the base standard you have to use and compare to because no one has made a serious competitor because Google is a monopoly/oligopoly

Ex: Google Maps is functional and okay, but sucks by 2023 standards. Yet the only viable competitor is Waze, which is also owned by Google.

  • Sygic, Here WeGO, and GO shot themselves in the foot or failed to maintain their benefits.
  • Garmin and TomTom forgot to hire real mobile devs.
  • OSMAnd actually does have a slick modern routing system and navigation, but the graphical engine looks like it came out 20 years ago.

War Thunder coming in being an 11 years old game and still needing a NASA computer to run with graphics that look like the PS2 era.

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....

Don’t read unless you remember what burning a CD was or if you want a viable answer

spoilerA self curated mp3/opus folder with everything sorted into sub-folders, and a playlist folder that you can mess with on the fly I’m still surprised all my music fits < 1GB by a large margin. Less than 2GB if you include full video game sound tracks. If I ever want to add anything, I usually use ytp-dlp and download from whatever source (usually youtube). Everything autosyncs to any of my devices with syncthing, which incidentally is also useful for photos. But tbf this doesn’t introduce you to new stuff. That I just do by random chance by watching yt videos and crap. YT Music is just as bad and will loop the same 3 songs if you let it.

“Highly secure solid-state storage”

Probably used the same encryption scheme on an SD card adapter that plugs directly into the floppy drive lol.

This really hurts when you go watch a movie with lots of good reviews, find it not enjoyable or a good movie at all, and then question whether everyone else is stupid or that you are in fact the local idiot.

Would have been funnier if the guys shooting him had a diverse cast like the US Army, The Taliban, and some Chinese Assassin, instead of some generic dessert dudes with guns.

Sneakers/Tennis/Running shoes that have automatically pop/retracting heel wheels like Heelys

You lock your shoes together a certain way to engage the wheels which lock in place so you can skate around. When you’re done, you lock in the opposite direction which causes the wheels to eject and swing out to rest on the top of the shoe so it stays out of the way.

You get the ultimate tactical shoe that you can run and play sports in which also also double as Heelys when you need them to

Optionally, make the wheels electric powered as well lol

The only thing missing from this is that the BDRIP would be in its own brackets sometimes lol.

Although these days, it’s usually WEBRip with the source added like DSNP
