Ubuntu is great, why does it get such a bad rep?

It's great to do a fresh install of Ubuntu and not have to configure anything. I can just install the software I need and get work done. Peace of mind is the best feature and OS can have, that's why people liked Win7 so much and still hate Win11.

Sure, snaps are basically useless; You're better off getting the tar.gz. and .deb for most software. But it works fine for Firefox, so I'm not getting rid of them, for now...

Obviously, there are better Linux Distros for different use cases, but it can quickly turn into an obsession, which can be bad sometimes...

Fedora is great as well, but I prefer LTS, I don't realy want to upgrade the whole thing every 6 or 9 months

a funcionária do bk queria conversar comigo e eu nem percebi (-1000 aura)

Fui no burger king hoje comer um negócio no horário de almoço

Pedi uma batata, um sanduíche e fui comer enquanto via uns reels no andar de cima desse bk, que tava praticamente vazio

Fiquei existindo lá por uns 20 minutos, quando apareceu uma funcionária simpática perguntando se eu tinha gostado do lanche, se eu tinha o aplicativo do bk e n sei oq

Ela estava sorrindo bastante, pensei que só estava fazendo o serviço dela; quando eu a respondi, ela parou de sorrir, disse "desculpa por te incomodar" e saiu constrangida

Só aí que eu entendi o que aconteceu

Enfim. Parece q hoje era meu dia de sorte, e eu dormi no ponto

Não saio mais de casa sem óculos de sol (nunca tinha usado antes)

O negócio é que eu tenho astigmatismo e miopia desde criança, então nunca pude usar óculos escuros convencionais, sem minha prescrição

Mês passado quando fui fazer um óculos novo na ótica, o vendedor me ofereceu o óculos + um óculos de sol pelo mesmo valor de um outro orçamento; valia a pena

Parece que combinou comigo, até recebi alguns elogios, ajudou minha autoestima

E agora eu vejo como era importante eu ter um par de óculos de sol, porque antes era insuportável pra mim sair de casa em dias ensolarados, então eu nem saia de casa no fim de semana por exemplo

Agora eu me sinto muito mais disposto, até tenho feito mais atividade física

Enfim, não deveria ter negligenciado algo tão óbvio, por tanto tempo -- fez muita diferença na minha vida

openSUSE is objectively better than everything else, I feel bad for not trying it before

Over the last few years, I've tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch on my home PC

Debian was good. Very stable, but maybe too stable for home use, when you want the latest desktop environment improvements

Fedora was good, but dnf was too slow; setting up rpmfusion to download the video codecs and mpv took like 10 minutes. Also, what's the use of shipping btrfs by default when it's not properly integrated with snapper and grub? Yes it has advantages over ext4, but the snapshots are the killer feature

Arch is nice, but there was always a feeling of anxiety when using it -- you know that, eventually, something will break...

Ubuntu is okay, but I don't care for snaps; I've always removed the snap-store because it's filled with junk, and when I tried using some snap application, like the Surfshark app, the .deb application worked better.

Ubuntu is not the best, but it's "fine", so I always went back to it

I've purchased this second-hand ThinkPad last month, and decided to take openSUSE for a run. I was amazed by how seamless the instalation process went; setting up an encrypted btrfs layout was super easy, and it even automatically enabled auto-login, because of the disk encryption -- clever design

Having spent a couple of weeks using openSUSE, I actually feel bad for not giving it a chance before. It's clearly a much better and well thought out experience than everything I've tried before. You really do get to "eat your cake and eat it too" as they state on their website, it's a very robust operating system

Windows 10 says I'm not fully up-to-date, even though I've enable ESU and installed all the available updates (Did I setup something wrong? Or is it just some tactic for me to "upgrade" to Windows 11?)

https://preview.redd.it/0th2j6n0611h1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=a637e97b1d87bee058d5c85ce4affc708e80e28f

So I bought this "state of the art", second-hand Thinkpad L14 Gen1, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it

It came with Windows 11, which was fine at first, but then it got infuriating. There was an obvious delay when I right-clicked on the desktop or the file manager -- which I think is ridiculous, since this is some 32 gigs of RAM, Rizen 7 pro, nvme hardware. The search sucks as well, it's literally unusable. So until they get Windows 11 sorted, I'm sticking to Windows 10.

So I downloaded the lenovo recovery tool for this laptop, created a Windows 10 usb-stick and reinstalled the OS. It's just better. The file manager works ok and even the battery lasts longer (probably because of the drivers that came with this factory settings image)

And so I've enabled the Extended Updates, rebooted and installed all the available upgrades.

But now it shows this message saying that I'm NOT fully updated and that my device does NOT have important security updates. Is this normal? Is Microsoft trying to scare us into getting Windows 11? And do I even have to worry about this since I'm using the Surshark antivirus?
