  • That’s exactly what Canonical is trying to do. They are trying to create a system with all the batteries included so people don’t need to worry about installing extra stuff, which means that of course they’ll have a bunch of bloat if you don’t use everything they offer, which is probably the case.

    Their end goal is to be able to push this to the masses and maybe one day be able to get compensation for their effort.

    I wouldn’t mind if Ubuntu becomes a Microsoft Windows-like product. If that’s what it takes to steal people from the claws of Microsoft, I’m OK with that. That would mean that hardware manufacturers will start developing specialized drivers for their hardware in Linux. To this day, in freaking 2024, I need to have a Windows image in order to configure my headset and mouse because developing the interfaces for Linux is pointless for these companies.

    We still have like 50 other distros we can use. Let Ubuntu be that bridge to bring more users to Linux.


  • I honestly just want to enjoy Linux. If I’m concerned about what happens in every update, I won’t enjoy it.

    So I leave the worrying to other people. If something really bad happens that I need to know about, I’ll probably hear about it on these communities.

    “Ubuntu did this crazy thing!!!”

    Google -> how to disable this crazy thing?

    disables the crazy thing

    So far I haven’t been hacked (almost 7 years using it) or murdered by the phantom of the bloat. Everything works fine. The only issues I’ve had are Nvidia related. Fuck Nvidia.

    Ubuntu literally delivers the promise of a user friendly experience, which is what I want. I don’t want to obsess about the libraries or Init system my distro uses. I just want it to work. I’ll let other amazing minds to worry about the philosophy and technical aspects while I just cruise.

    I know I can relax thanks to other people who really worry and want everything to be perfect. I’m really grateful with them, I just don’t want to be them.




  • Once again. If you’re traveling to a developing country and someone tries to steal from you, what do you do? YOU LET IT HAPPEN.

    Why? Because for them your phone is worth more than your life.

    You let it happen, don’t look at their faces, don’t scream, don’t run, don’t move your hands, don’t try to bargain, don’t chase after them, don’t look in their direction once they are gone…

    You come from a rich country, you’ll recover financially, just let it happen and move on. It’s crazy how rich people come to these countries thinking they have some kind of imaginary bulletproof shield.

    I saw a thieve kill a teenage girl because she resisted for a couple of seconds. Bam, stabbed in the neck, she dropped after 3 seconds.
