  • Snaps make sens from the Ubuntu side.

    Only one package to maintain for an application, even if they have different distributions to maintain. If snap is officially supported by the creator of the application, then it’s less work for Canonical. Well, it would have make more sens if flatpak didn’t exist.

    From user side, it makes way less sens :

    • the closed source application shop
    • if snaps are not officially supported, then Canonical try to create one, and they may be not that great …



  • 7 months distro hopping sober here ! All thanks to CachyOS.

    The installation is seamless thanks to calamares, there are some graphic tools that can help for beginners on arch. Their kernel might be one of the most optimised one to have a smooth experience while gaming. I do not play ressources hungry games, so I can not really tell.

    After setting snapshots, I decided to experience it totally blind folded, just to see how long I can last on it. I update the system around 2 times a week, never read any changelog, just like any of the other distro I used… And for now, I’ve never had any trouble.

    My system seems to be way smoother and more responsive than with fedora or tumbleweed.

    I use my computer mostly for steam, heroic, librewolf and LibreOffice.


  • Why not ? There is so much mods that you can play new adventures, with the feeling of being at home.

    The base game is full of flaws, but the community makes it really enjoyable.

    The balance of skills, the graphics, even the story can be changed. That’s why I like to play it again and again. I can play a Skyrim that people built. And with the perks mod, I can build so much differents characters, I really love that.

    And with skyblivion coming this year, I’m not even close to stop playing it.

    I always adopted these two before modding the game. Now, they have 4 other brothers and sisters, sleeping in a big room in Whiterun. They play endlessly under the watch of my wife (90% of the time, Ysolda), my housecarl and the dog from the dawnguard.

    I guess skyrim is truly about family.






  • I use /e/OS on my OP7.

    • Their tracker/ad blocker is great.
    • Their app store has a rating about privacy/tracker for each apps.
    • They implemented tor in the OS, and you can choose if you want to activate it and for which application.
    • They have a mock location feature.
    • I get monthly update, and it works smoothly.
    • You do not need to use murena account to use the OS

    For the drawbacks :

    • They have an app store that can install both applications from the play store and from Fdroid, but it isn’t very convenient as you can’t add Fdroid repos, nor uninstall applications with it. (and I’m unable to use it to install applications from the play store for more than a month, I’ve installed the aurora store )
    • Most of their system applications are open sources applications available from Fdroid but with a different icon and name.
    • Their navigation application named “Maps” is a rebrand of magic earth.

    It’s all I have in mind at this moment.

    When I’ll change for a fairphone, before turning to /e/OS, I’ll probably try iodé OS. It seems they have similar privacy /anti-ad features but the OS might be less bloated and the system app are not rebranded, they keep their original name and icons.


  • I’m not sure for Ubuntu… I’ve seen here and there that some snap are still not as good as flatpak or .deb.

    Especially the steam one where some games wouldn’t launch on the snap but do with the flatpak or the .deb. Progress are made regularly, but until the snaps aren’t on par with other packages type, I wouldn’t recommand Ubuntu for beginners.

    Distro based on it, without snap, yeah sure. Pop OS, tuxedo OS, Mint, Debian… There is a lot of alternative where you do not have to struggle on forced non finished applications.
