Too outdated and takes ages to configure everything to work properly
>just use Debian (testing) (TM)
Last time I tried it it was half broken, upgrading didn't even work due to package conflicts and whatever, plus it also doesn't work very well since it doesn't ironically get tested
>just use Linux Mint
No KDE.

That sucks, is it the same for the flatpak version?
I don't really like Flatpak, I am paranoid that ((they)) will be able to ship malware through editing the Flatpak packages to point to some other binary not made by Mozilla but some random neet jeet
Seems like gentoo might be for you, I would review all the code though 😉
I don't want to wait 12 hours for an updoot to libxjeetcode-1.2.0, also energy bills
Anon, the deb binaries have the problem as Flatpak or Snap.
Anon, this is the selling point of Snaps. Centralized backend. You know paid professionals are working on there.
>AUR
Literally glowies will backeddoor any package and you will be never noticed.
Use Fedora.
I am paranoid that rpmfusion will backdoor your system (you literally give them root access by installing MESA and codecs)
Get fricked then, Black person.
Why are you seething? You're probably just an election tourist
why does do you think canonical is not backdooring snaps? the backed is private like fedora why are you not using community distros like arch/debian SID?
I often reinstall and configuring Arch would take foreveeeeer, plus I like .deb packages, everyone supports you, and Ubuntu/Debian repositories are bigger than Arch (I will never use the AUR)
>why does do you think canonical is not backdooring snaps?
They might as well backdoor my kernel, nothing I can do about that, but I'd rather not have third party random NEETs backdooring me
Debian sid sucks from my experience, I've had a lot of breakage when I used it, last time I tried to upgrade to it it was broken with package conflicts and missing packages (perhaps it was a package migration they had, not sure)
>configuring Arch would take foreveeeeer
it takes not even 10 minutes using the archinstall script with no reading required, from there you can add your desktop environment and start using your PC without ever dealing with a terminal
>Ubuntu/Debian repositories are bigger than Arch (I will never use the AUR)
welcome to linux since you are starting now i will not call you moronic but the thing is it does not matter what format is used as long as you are using UNIX binaries, this would be like refusing to download a .ZIP file because you think .7z is superior
>I'd rather not have third party random NEETs backdooring me
thats the point of open source you mongoloid if someone is backdooring you, there is another thousand NEETs reading the commits which creates the hawthorne effect
>it takes not even 10 minutes using the archinstall script with no reading required, from there you can add your desktop environment and start using your PC without ever dealing with a terminal
I tried archinstall 5 times and the install was broken every single time, I needed an encrypted drive and it broke, the bug hasn't been fixed and it's been open for a long time
>welcome to linux since you are starting now i will not call you moronic but the thing is it does not matter what format is used as long as you are using UNIX binaries, this would be like refusing to download a .ZIP file because you think .7z is superior
I've been using Linux since 2012, what I am saying is that not all software is packaged for Arch in the same way that it is packaged for Debian/Ubuntu when you're installing something out of your repository.
>thats the point of open source you mongoloid if someone is backdooring you, there is another thousand NEETs reading the commits which creates the hawthorne effect
No one checks the binaries
I LOVE snaps
Me too, I use them on non-Ubuntu systems even.
based
They're just so easy and comfy to use and with just a few clicks you can grant or revoke access to file system, home folder, opengl, network etc.
I used to write Dockerfiles for every software I use, but with snaps there's just no need for it anymore, because it does the same but better

It's a shame that it isn't out yet.

It isn't even out yet, why are Poopgays like this?
apt purge snapd
apt pin snapd -100
download thunderbird .zip
install in ~/.local/lib
create .desktop file
it updates itself
If you really want a .deb you can probably find some PPA or use the debian version.
I want a Chromium deb without installing it backdoored from some NEET
then download one and install it
>Too outdated and takes ages to configure everything to work properly
?? Debian had a more up to date KDE than 22.04
don't fall for the shiny new stuff syndrome anon
Not 24.04 which I am using
Plasma 6 fixed bugs and added features I need
Kubuntu 24.04 uses Plasma 5.27.11 (which is more sensible for an lts distro, plasma 6 is a mess)
and thats why you wait for at least a .1
Ubuntu seems too bloated.
Pop OS is ubuntu without snap
you're welcome
you should go back to windows ASAP!
Your fault for not using Debian (KDE installer, x11 session)
I just told you why I'm not using ti
Sure, but also with Debian the MESA version is too old for RADV_PERFTEST=gpl which improves performance in vidya
um, maybe don't upgrade until all the little things have been sorted out?
>better
That is not a problem, just install the better alternative: Betterbird.

Install SpiralLinux, it's preconfigured Debian Stable with Btrfs snapshots and Flatpak out of the box. It's avaliable in 8 flavours. I installed the Plasma flavour; after installation, I proceeded to remove the custom Numix theming and reinstalled most of the graphical applications from Flathub. I also installed plasma-workspace-wayland to be able use the Plasma Wayland session.
Snap sucks so hard.
I've been running the latest mozilla debs since 23.04
Just add their ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
And then disable the snap crap with snap disable thunderbird
Who the frick uses a dedicated email client in 2000+24? Just log into Gmail or whatever the frick you use using your web browser, dumbass homie.
i had a t-shirt in my room and I think I spilt gravy and soda on it, the t-shirt was later presented to Mark Shuttleworth founder of Ubuntu and astronaut with net worth of $500mil
i think there might've also been a stray pube on it
I am not defending their decision, but you can probably find the Thunderbird deb at https://packages.debian.org/ and install it with sudo dpkg -i
