- 3v1n0Try to maintain the whole matrix or possibilities then you tell me...
- Liberux NEXX is a phone built on LiberuxOS, a completely free, ethical and open source operating system that is not based on Android or iOS.
- 4 points
- It's 99% GNOME with few additions that can be disabled if you want a more pure experience
- Same here and even impossible to decrypt to myself after few hours
- Are you telling me that to me who installed his current production system using lucid lynx (e.g. 10.04 - you can do the math)?!?
- You can just use both in any distro. Really no difference.
Unless that snap allows lower level usage (services, kernel...)
- I understand in part what you mean, but ubuntu is also a disto that many users relay on for its stability and reliability, not just for being an hacker toy.
I still use like that and anyone can, but normal users are the main target.
- We do for good parts.
For example, in the gnome team we do the uploads first to debian then we merge them with the Ubuntu changes if any, but we try as much as possible to use the same sources for both.
Check debian salsa to see the differences.
- It has the same base but definitely not the same support nor immediately neither in the long term
- Yes
- Replace snap with flatpak and the same definition still stands for both.

Unity served well for years, it would have needed a rewrite anyway for the post x11 era, so indeed there have been wasted resources, but experiments are also important in technology, and many still love what was (is) the unity user experience.

Mir is still there and it's used. It's now a Wayland compositor but it maintains its API, the different communication protocol doesn't change its purposes.

When Upstart started and was used no systemd existed or was designed, so it served many well for years. Not a waste.
- Flatpak don't allow what snap doesn at lower levels than apps (kernel, system daemons...). So it's not possible.
- Subscribe on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/20632... once that's fixed upgrade should work properly
- NTSync still seems to outperform any userspace fsync implementation https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/issues/936#i...
- It is, but some of these patches were originally from ubuntu side
- Indeed it's not.
But this implies removing dependencies on various libraries, and keep a such important process small is already relevant, despite the fact that it will load PAM libraries, making it quite still prone to issues.
- As per the well known XZ-utils backdoor, we decided to take a step further and drop libsystemd dependency altogether by implementing the missing bits with few small patches (one upstream, the other to be forwarded).
