That Google search will likely get you results related to multimedia formats, like ogg, webm, and matroska.

The more useful query would be ‘containerized software packaging’. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(software) is the link for snaps though, and it should be easy to find other containerized formats from there, Flatpak is probably in the ‘see also’ section

The comment I replied to wasn’t comparing Ubuntu vs. Windows though, it was Ubuntu vs. Mint.

If my options were Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac, I’d go with Ubuntu, no question. But the nice thing about Linux is that there are a billion options, I can use what I like, other people can use what they like, and we can all play nice together and even contribute to the same codebase half the time.

I’ve tried Fedora-- every time I install a new machine, I end up trying several distros before inevitably landing on something with apt. I started on Ubuntu 15ish years ago, and run Debian on anything headless, I just can’t get used to other package managers

A container format for programs, similar to Flatpak and Appimage. Snaps were developed by Canonical, and while they’re technically an open standard, the only place to get them is from Canonical themselves, so it’s sort of a walled-garden thing like phone app stores. Snaps tend to be slower than native packages, and Ubuntu installs the snap version of things by default.

Mint is extremely similar to (and based on) Ubuntu, but with snaps gutted out. There are other differences, but that’s the biggest one

Getting Mint the way I like it takes about 20 minutes, including the install itself.

Of course, I usually spend four or five hours trying other distros first, before eventually deciding on Mint.

Because you’re wrong?

Personally I don’t like snaps, is the main thing.

Sloshing? On a vomit comet? Naw…

Yep, the difference between .444… And .5 is only .0555…

Who notices 5 nintieths of something? That’s going to be within the error of sloppy measuring anyways

So yeah. Not that ‘Zionist’ is a slur

Edit: Really, shitty censorship bot? We’re adulterating URLs now, and selectively only that specific slur? Gross on both counts

While not exactly a bouncer, I like Quassel

For example Limonene can either smell like pine or oranges depending on what way the molecule is mirrored.

And would you look at that, pine is another extremely common cleaning scent

Oh yeah, it’s a sucker’s bet, I was just hoping to find a sucker who would take it

For Google money I’d do it too…but I wouldn’t do a very good job of it

Democrats will continue to stack losses if that’s the narrative that they go with

$20 says that or race is the narrative they go with.

This is just for him to get a basic feel for the various distros, before choosing one to permanently install; setting up a VM properly is probably going to be too technical

Well I use key-based login for security; obscurity just keeps the network congestion down

Solar panels are also added weight, which reduces range. Any way you look at it, it makes more sense to have the solar panels at a base location you go back to.

I guess an RV, or a camp trailer, makes sense to have panels on it, but that’s about it

You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped
