First time ever that installing Ubuntu on a new desktop is giving me anxiety. It already failed once cuz snap was farting and therefore was busy. 😒😒😒

Don't use ubuntu. It's crap. It just doesn't work.

Use archlinux + archinstall and be done with it. It just works

Don't use ubuntu or archlinux + archinstall. It's crap. It just doesn't work.

Use xubuntu and be done with it. It just works.

(I avoid snap, with its stupid mounts, see df -h).

@retoor last time I tried ubuntu it just didn't. Come on, that was the distro in fashion when I was 20. Update yourself. Cool people use arch now.

@antigermanist i didn't promote ubuntu, i promoted xubuntu! As you know, I like to build everything myself. Building everything yourself means that it will often have some issues you normally wouldn't have. That's OK and expected. But it's not something I want to have with my OS. Those issues are made by other people and you are the one who has to fix it. That's called work! :P

Neither ubuntu nor arch linux worked on my laptop...
dead wifi

@retoor things like bluetooth and sound just worked better. And snap, wtf is snap? Why not just debian + xfce then? xfce isn't that bad

@Pogromist your ubuntu was missing the x. That's why.

@antigermanist because everwhere you see "ubuntu packages". Not "debian packages". What's the benefit of building xfce on top on debian yourself in stead of doing the combined distro?..

OH BTW. I recently did that btw! The xfce that you get if you do it yourself is NOT the xfce layout you get with xubuntu even while the version matches. I checked. The xubuntu one looks way nicer.

Zorin OS looks stunning and is based on ubuntu, next time i would recommend that one. I was daily driving that until i could not play Rito games games on it anymore. I miss it tbh

@antigermanist arch is not cool enough when it comes to robotics and NN libraries. It has issues with ROS as well as pyrtorch and related libraries. My last install was a manjaro that at some point didn't update anymore because of some cpp library update fail.

Talk to me again when you have a decent version of arch that doesn't take a lifetime and half to install and customize, can handle Bluetooth connections as well as cpp based tensor calculations. (I'm angry tbh cuz I expected a lot more from arch)
