That rage was why I switched lol. All our work computers are on 11 and they frequently reset so almost every time I log in I get to freshly rage and spend a minute resetting the task bar and default adobe to the pdf reader.
No Microsoft! I cant use edge as a pdf editor why on earth would you think that.
Depends on what you consider “working”, having my calculator and browser load for a minute or two before being able to do anyting and being unable to keep a specific software version as long as I need to doesn’t really work for me.
You can only lock them for a while last tine I checked, can’t you?
I’ve needed an old GIMP version before for a project I was working on. I wasn’t using Ubuntu at the time, but would’ve been pretty screwed if it just updated itself after X months.
I’m specifically talking about Snaps, I have no issues with native packages and controlling them. The problem is, since apt has become a wrapper for snap in Ubuntu, I can’t even really tell what’s being installed anymore.
If you have some weird requirements about holding back packages and startup times that doesn’t work with snaps but you insist on using ubuntu rather than every other distro that doesn’t use snap… But at the same time say linux as a whole doesn’t work for you but windows is better then you are being completely disingenuous.
I use Ubuntu btw.
Well I guess its better than windows.
Every time I have to, I have an inexplicable rage that appears deep within me that goes away as soon as I don’t have to deal with it anymore.

Unironically can’t tell if this is a comment about using Linux or Windows. Either way most likely a skill issue
Never had those problems! I’ve locked certain software versions before. But, every user has different needs. :)

Did they fix the Snap startup time, finally?
There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

I don’t often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.
