Anyone can install Mint, that’s hardly a big deal.
Until you run an apt command that reinstalls snapd because so many official packages are snaps.
Isn’t there a way to blacklist packages in apt?
apt-mark hold snapdYou can also pin it with a negative priority like Mint does.
Finally a correct usage of this meme format :D
Joke boss was joke.
Me who just installed installed EndeavourOS via their live disk because it’s stupidly simple, arch based, and I can read the arch wiki when I have issues.
Endeavour gang rise up
Seriously though it’s glaringly straightforward and all the benefits of arch without the slog. I’ve been happy with it for years now.
I also switched from pre-archinstall arch to Endeavor. I might try archinstall at some point but I’m currently fine with Endeavor
There a few of us
Dozens!
But can you install Firefox without having snap be reinstalled?
flatpak, boi
I just downloaded the .tar.gz
Yes, from the Mozilla PPA. One may also want to prevent
snapdfrom being installed again by pinning it with a sufficiently low negative priority.Credit to whom credit is due @fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com
i understand my nixos configuration
I have an acquaintance who walked me through his setup. I was impressed, mostly at how many little things he needed to have done to get it to how he likes it.
I installed Fedora without installer. It was more “fun” than arch
Why did you go this way?
I already had Arch installed but was facing some bugs on Framework hardware. The official Framework forums advised to try to reproduce it on Fedora, which is officially supported distro. I just wanted to keep all of my stuff in home including KDE config, all my programs data, dotfiles etc, as well as disk layout encryption and so on. It was pretty short way for making drop-in replacement for Arch - extracted the OS to a new btrfs subvolume, configured bootloader and some basics, installed all my needed packages and all the same flatpaks and that’s it. It felt like nothing ever changed
That’s the magic of distro-agnostic DE’s :)
Happy it worked for you without a hitch - it’s not the most conventional operation out there :)
I used arch btw
i configure portage from memory
deleted by creator
I too have replaced hard drives
As long as you didn’t use
format c:for that, I’m fine with it.
Try installing Guix from live-bootstrap
I don’t use Arch, btw
I was able to rescue GRUB from memory 10 years ago.
Okay that sounds pretty impressive
Me who doesn’t completely care what flavor of Linux is installed and uses flatpaks and docker for everything because I just want things to work and threw away my integrity after my first catastrophic hardware failure of my server that I’d been maintaining poorly and precariously on an external drive for three years.
Has ubuntu started using DNF?
yeah they did that in 24.13
