  • Thank you for the sources. However, from your own source Mint appears to be fine. Ubuntu, agreed, isn’t worth touching but Mint seems to remove the problems with Ubuntu.

    4 If you are a desktop user who values control and simplicity — consider migrating: Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, and Debian all offer compelling alternatives without Snap’s structural issues. The migration cost is real but one-time; the ongoing friction of managing Snap on Ubuntu compounds with every package and every update.

    5 If you recommend distros to others — update your recommendation: Developers who previously defaulted to “just install Ubuntu” when helping friends or onboarding team members should now give this advice more thought. Linux Mint in particular offers a nearly identical user experience to Ubuntu’s classic desktop with none of the Snap-related friction.

    I do believe, you may in fact, perhaps, be a nerd.

    You don’t happen to have a simple how-to or wiki for these services do you?

    Official documentation is all well and good but sometimes it can be a nightmare to follow and understand (Nextcloud for example had me pulling my hair) for us mere nerdlings that haven’t achieved full nerdhood yet.











  • No one wants to leave because nobody is leaving.

    You’re still on WhatsApp and Messenger, they can still contact you that way, so why would they bother changing?

    Pick a date, a week, a month, whatever, from now. Tell those you message regularly that you will be deleting all Meta apps on that date. Make it clear that that includes WhatsApp and Messenger. Explain why. I just linked some articles instead of having a long explanation but it still made it clear why.

    Let them know they can contact you via Signal/SMS/email whatever you use after that date.

    If the informed don’t take the leap, the ignorant never will.
