I've made my decision: Windows Vista

Sorry but there are several distros that are way better than MX Linux, Manjaro which is an Arch based distro is waaay better and several others like Ubuntu do not even belong in the top 10 because it is so broken right now...

grrr..followed all these instructions, then got to the part where I added mozzila's repo + installed firefox and it STILL reinstalled snap. F - ubuntu, i'll just go back to Mint Virginia and wait for the 24.04LTS "Wilma" to come out.

Ubuntu Kylin is interesting. Might try to use it if I wanna practise Chinese. I'm thinking of learning Chinese, so that might be useful.

Ez pz just retro arch to play atari games

Awesome!

this was clearly made with ai a it says the same line twice for no reason

Lol. An ai voice telling us which distro is the best. No thanks. Pretty big red flag there. I'm researching linux to find out which one to use and i need advice from actual human beings that use it.

Excellent video!! My favorite distro i have been using for years.

05:13 i think you forgot to mention about saving it

How can you put Ubuntu and perfect in the same sentence ? That's outrageous !

thanks! why so unerrated tho?

I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I tried running FossaPup on a netbook style laptop and it actually lagged /more/ than other distros. I don't know if it was just the lightweight browser that comes with it instead of firefox, but it was very slow loading pages and thumbnails. Linux Mint and AntiX ran much snappier, though AntiX has at least one problem with not auto-selecting the audio hardware.

Nothing new here I've been using Gnu Linux over 1,000,000 years.

My very simplistic view of the two-Cinnamon Ubuntu is prettier looking but Mint is more reliable and less intrusive with telemetry.

Great tips, learnt some things - thanks for putting this together!

what privacy concerns? this smells like flatpak orchestrated smear campaign. and i avoid using both of them.

systemd, snapd, linux is dying

MX appears nowhere near the top in any measure of actual usage (Stack Overflow surveys, Steam hardware survey etc). Page hits on an obscure website are not a good way of measuring popularity, especially given this is self-amplifying: if I see some random project at the top, of course I am inclined to click on it to see what the hell it is. Further, there has long been the rumor of botted rankings. I have never seen or heard of anyone using this, either

I just finished following this video step by step. WONDERFUL. The speed is back, the printer receives files faster, AND my PC runs 3deg celcius cooler

all this preventing and forcing of installation nonsense. what is this, an apple product? i miss the good old days.

My problem w snap, was the daemon grinds and it uses apparmor which is really unwieldy, like in a run init level manually do config, wasting my time, sort of way. Time jacking w OS versus getting work done.

Feels like removing bloat and telemetry from windows. Just don’t install Ubuntu. Easy…

tometto or tomatto dint make a difference snap or flap too many paranoid users

Thank GOD for this vid!!....I have been going CRAZY trying to get id of snaps!...Dunno who green-lighted this as being the "default' for Ubuntu?..but it was a bad move...some of use "grew up" with Ubuntu....Debian..and the ".deb" package works just fine for us..why not make Snap an OPTION for those that WANT to use it and then the ones who DON'T?..can still use the OS they know & love without headaches!?...if this works?...I'll definitely try it...but if it "comes back" in some future updates?...I'll be ditching Ubuntu for good...maybe try OpenSuse or Fedora..or even Garuda...Linux is about "Freedom"...which ALSO means the FREEDOM to install / remove what you WANT!

Lmao, snap is better than flatpak for a mile.

I have three PC's running in my house. One with Windows 11, one with Linux Mint Cinnamon, and the third originally with Mint Cinnamon. But on that third one (Beekink SER5 Pro mini PC), all sound disappeared every 3-4 days. Mint would just forget the PC had sound. Rebooting brought sound back, but in 3-4 days the sound would disappear again. I installed pulse audio, updated to newer kernels, nothing worked. I have NOT had that problem with Ubuntu Cinnamon. So now I have both Cinnamons in the house.

So if i update to another version for example 2404 will snap come back

I get the hate for snap, but if I just need a single app to work without much hassle, say through WSL on windows, it just works.

What's wrong with just 'sudo apt purge snapd'. Seems much simpler.

"Convert text to table" at 5:50 is really really handy! EDIT: I was playing around with this and I entered an extra field separator in my data to be put into a table and it quite predictably added an extra blank field. For example, if your sample text was (quotes not included) "Data1,,Data3" and your separator was the comma then you would have three columns with the middle field holding no data. Might be useful...

I just use command line for software. Snap never worked for me. Straight up just stall loading.

Why snap needs to be removed?

:( when attempting to boot for the first time on usb it just shows a "GRUB4DOS" screen

MX Linux and Linux Mint Debian Edition STILL support 32bit OSes...this is MAJOR for me... I love this! Because you can still make old 32bit computers SUPER useful with the latest apps. I think THAT is better and cheaper than a Raspberry Pi and alot easier to deal with and an Old laptop already has everything...keyboard, mouse, screen, speakers etc vs a Pi you gotta spend more money on and STILL mostly doesnt function better than an old 32bit laptop unless it comes to HD video and gaming.

BOTTING that is why

Thank you very much for explaining 👍🏻

I have had both Flatpak (native) and Snap (added) on my 4 Mint gaming computers. It was very easy to add Snap with only a couple of config file changes (detailed are on the Mint help pages). I installed Snap for its support for the old C&C Generals games. However, the way snap works complicates the file system mounts list you get when typing "mount", so I will be avoiding adding Snap in future.

Me screaming in the background when he pronounced ubuntu mate incorrectly:

Thank for your thorough comparison and this great content. Keep going!

I like your thoughts on this. I also did a video not too long ago covering this same comparison.

How about how to install Ubuntu or Linux Mint on a USB drive?

Ubuntu Cinnamon = Ubuntu with snaps . That is only reason for existence of this BS os . Snaps are poison .

Linux Mint = Ubuntu without the BS from Canonical Ubuntu Cinnamon = Ubuntu with all the BS from Canonical

Imho Ubuntu wanted to be the easier to use Debian. LMDE Cinnamon is the much better Alternative instead Ubuntu i think.
