I mostly used apt-get but when I installed Ubuntu as a desktop OS, I used their store until I understood that Snaps were not always the officially packaged versions. The same thing with Flatpaks. I wanted to install Sublime Text so I looked to Flathub and found a package by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. Imagine my surprise when went to Sublimes own website to saw that they offer it via apt-get (on Ubuntu/Debian), they even say on their forum that they do not provide via Flatpak or Snap.

Someone just uploaded a package using a name that looks official, while not actually being the owner of the product.

What makes Flatpak so good? Honest question. It is a new package manager for me, I have mostly been on Linux server, not desktop. For all my use cases Flatpak has never been mentioned, I've always used apt-get until I installed Ubuntu as a desktop OS and it comes with Snap. The next thing I see is Flatpak > Snap and no mention of apt-get.

keep older versions installed or replace them with the latest release

This functionality does not seem to be present in AppImageLauncher.

Thanks! Yeah, the LTS options is very attractive. If a can find a motherboard I am happy with, I would prefer not to have to replace it when I upgrade CPU the next time.

It you want images, there is also civitai.

Do you know if intel or amd is better when running linux?

Best solution i've seen here by far.

Would not asking if one can come in ask if it is possible or not, i.e. if the one is invited or not. So to ask "can I come in" is not to ask for permission, only what is possible and not, thus not the same?

Can I come in? => Have I been invited?
\ May I come in? => Can I have an invitation?

I don't care about the show (and let's now shame others for their interests) but the lemmy instance https://startrek.website/ keeps making top quality posts.

I feel you said about JavaScript as a whole.

This is some proper troubleshooting.

You are probably right, but as long as my browsing works, it could not hurt.

SimpleTabGroups - organize your tabs
\ uBlock Origin - adblocker
\ Prvacy Badger - block trackers
\ I still don't care about cookies - remove cookie prompts
\ Stylus - lets you create your own css based on url
\ Canvss Blocker - prevents finger printing but can break websites.

I still don't care about cookies is a must have, it is so nice to never have to click those prompts again.

A password manager is also nice. I recommend keepassxc and it's addon

How is it compared to ubuntu?

Too bad. :(

Yeah, same reason I use LTS. Latest features are nice and all but I want a stable system for my everyday life.

Too much water under the bridge to talk to them again?

This sound like the best thing to do. Just ignore him and move on, try not to waste any more energy on him. If put in the same room as him, don't interact with him. If he starts talking with you, try explaining that you do not want to talk with him and just keep ignoring. Never give a bully a reaction.

I'm considering Fair Phone to be my next one. The latest has 5G support.

Are you saying that people should die instead of of being treated, when a treatment is possible, just because they cannot afford it?
