Started on 1993 with Yggdrasil Plug and Play Linux. Before kernel 1.0! Before ELF binaries, even.
I’ve been running Ubuntu Studio for almost ten years. Before that it was Redhat variants. Before Linux, a short time with 386/BSD. But for work, SunOS, Irix, HP-UX, and a stint on a team supporting a VAX 8900 running VMS
I’m about to dump Ubuntu Studio. Thinking either Fedora or Debian.
I’ve been running Ubuntu Studio for almost a decade, but I’m pretty fed up with it. Maybe I’ll switch to Arch. I dunno. Having a turnkey media production distribution was handy. It did audio well. But with pipewire, that seems redundant now.
Thanks for linking to an archive of a Reddit post. Fuck Reddit.
Flatpak is a central repository where an application is installed in a sandbox and cached. It can be updated from that central repository.
Snap is a mounted filesystem containing a repository and is stored locally. It is not sandboxed. It cannot be updated in part but is overwritten in whole. It is distributed by individual app maintainers, not a centralized repository.
YOU FIRST.
