The biggest one: Snaps.

I switched from Ubuntu to Debian, and it’s basically the same thing, just faster since it uses native packages instead of Snaps. Ubuntu might as well run all it’s apps in Docker containers.

You could rebrand Debian to Ubuntu and most users wouldn’t even notice.

Continue.dev extension with VSCodium.

You one-upper, you.

GitHub Application Manager (GAM): https://github.com/fmstrat/gam

It’s like apt for installing directly from Github releases. A plug, sure, but I still use it regularly for things like FreeCAD, Cura, OrcaSlicer, and so on.

I invented WinApps. http://nowsci.com/winapps

I had a conversation started with the org fr their takeover and they just dropped off. If anyone from there is reading this, please reach out.

I have no idea how your brain did the gymnastics to get to that, but I’m a fan nonetheless.

I hadn’t considered Trixie. Regular Backports is at 6.13, is Trixie ar 6.14?

Pleeaaasssee get kernel 6.14 in, or at least to Backports. I’ve been doing work to support the new dual screen Zenbook Pro in Linux, and I’m having to do it with Ubuntu 25.10 because Backports only goes to 6.13. Though my trusty remove-snap script still works.

I too, was a Slackware floppy fan.

If not, rebrand and distribute. This is the most important thing to this project.

One boot USB to rule them all. Just copy ISOs to it, and boot to a menu of ISOs.

Switched from Ubuntu to Debian this year. With one extra GNOME package install, its basically the same without snaps, so perfect for me.

@trk@aussie.zone @ing since you mentioned Ubuntu. I also switched from Ubuntu Server to Debian for the servers, too.

Hi dad, I’m America.

Slackware in the early mid-nineties. But of course there was other Unix variants before that. And what was it called, OS/2 or something like that?

Yes, and:

You can point Immich to your photo uploads as an external library, too. Then make a cron job to rescan regularly.

That being said, I now have my old photos as external libraries and new stuff directly in Immich. After using it a while, I realized that it’s just that good.

Firefox PWAs… Wish it would be true, but seems to be some custom “Taskbar Tabs” for Windows 11.

Every time I install or configure anything, it’s done via CLI and added to a script. Makes setup a breeze.

What? There are hundreds of thousands of FOSS projects with great presentation. GIMP is the exception these days, not the rule.

I make tons of aliases. For instance my quick “got log” and “git log <branch[SS]>”:

alias gl="git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --format=format:'%C(8)%>|(16)%h  %C(7)%ad  %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an  %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s' --all"
alias glb="git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --format=format:'%C(8)%>|(16)%h  %C(7)%ad  %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an  %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s'"

I’m all for GIMP, but logos should be raster for sizing and SVG use, Inkscape only please 😉
