I have used Linux since 1993 (Slackware, Suse and Debian) and Ubuntu since 2006. I consider switching back to Debian because I hate snap and other containers for Of-the-Line Software and while I can uninstall snap and install a De-Snapped Firefox directly from Mozilla I hate doing this Extra-Work.
Dudes, even the "newer faster" Firefox-Snap is still taking three times as long to start and uses twice as much memory and on my work computer, a Core2 Q9550 with 8GByte of memory, this is VERY noticable. Yes, the system is old but for work more than enough. My i7 is only for games and I don't mix work and fun.
Oh, and then there is that old neighbour who is using a Pentium4 3Ghz 3GByte RAM, which is 32Bit only. He is like 80 years old and doesn't want to buy a new computer and his old rig does everything he wants. Ubuntu simply doesn't support it anymore. Supporting old computers is something Linux does outstanding (Windows 11 dropping two year old systems is fucking sick)
Hah. ‘95 ish here? I was like twelve the first time I fucked up a Red Hat distro.
I mean I was 12. Dad is a Unix admin…..
“Don’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Okay. Do that…. Find out. Yiu have the install media, right?”
(Does “that”…)
“wait… you actually did that?! We just got done installing it…”
Edit to add: “newer and faster” in web browser terminology usually means “bloated and resource intensive”- like how they now all open up multiple processes to load and run faster. (iirc there’s a way to turn that off in Firefox.)
Is there a good reason to dislike snaps? I think they are inefficient, but that hardly matters today. It's there a better reason?
