Did you respond to the right comment? I was trying to say that instructing new/novice users to disable snap updates is probably a bad idea.
Does anyone genuinely prefer Windows for a reason that makes sense? Or are they just a captive audience?
unless you completely disable [snap updates], which is hardly trivial for a new user
Tbh it probably shouldn’t be trivial for new users to disable updates. I’ve seen way too many Windows/macOS users running a years out-of-date version of Chrome.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been.
International, business, and machines?
It uninstalled a bunch of dependent packages too, including my graphics driver. I probably could have looked through the apt history and rolled them all back, but I don’t remember how to do that off the top of my head, and reinstalling took about 20 minutes.

Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao
Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?
Not even, man. I accidentally ran sudo apt remove python3
instead of sudo apt remove python3-pip
last week.
I just copied my files to a flash drive and reinstalled Ubuntu lol
The share size doesn’t matter.
Gotta disagree with you there. Market adoption should be a primary concern of those who care about the Linux ecosystem.
That’s… exactly what you do. macOS software is usually distributed in DMG files (compressed disk images). You download the DMG, open it (with a double click in Finder), then drag and drop the APP file to your Applications folder (or wherever else you want it to be).
Speaking of APP files, the structure of macOS apps is vastly superior to that of Windows, imo. Linux generally has them both beat, but there’s some additional complexity there.
I mean, I had to do some weird dragging to install an application!?
Ah yes, the notoriously unintuitive feature known as… drag and drop.
Can you evaluate the directory tree of a tar without decompressing? Not sure if gzip/bzip2 preserve that.
