People love to shit on Ubuntu, but I do think it's important to remember that their primary customers are enterprises. That's what pays the bills, and it's also the reason that it's so well-supported. And since it's still Linux, you can disable or remove anything you disagree with, or go with a fork that's done that heavy lifting for you. Some companies (and individuals) will want the best-in-class Linux support for AI inference. Get over it.

My days of not paying attention to Ubuntu sure are coming to a middle

For AI, Linux users must move beyond [Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) and ... to signed, auto-updated, policy-driven snaps.

This is written as if apt repos don't have package signing, automatic updating or security policies. It does all those things, and does it better.

Mark really has become like all the other South African wannabe-astronaut tech oligarchs.

for those curious you can install snap with this easy command sudo apt purge snapd.

I wonder what Mark thinks of the term "sloperating system"?

I heard SomeOrdinaryGamers say it yesterday on youtube.

Edit: Took me three tries to get the name right lol, I don't usually watch his content.

canonical is the worst; hopefully mint continues stripping everything out

LMDE is Mint built on Debian. So there's no Ubuntu for them to even strip out.

Hello Debian my old friend...

And proves once again that Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux.
