[@cameronbosch1213]

Funny thing is, the theme introduced in 10.04 was actually supposed to be introduced in 9.10, but was delayed to 10.04, which was also an LTS, because the theme wasn't ready. 10.04 was my first experience with Ubuntu, and despite some of the naysayers calling the theme a "macOS ripoff", I kind of liked it! Even 11.04 was decent, albeit a bit annoying because of Unity, but not unbearable as far as I could remember. Too bad I had to leave Linux while I was in high school because nothing really worked on it; OpenOffice got forked into LibreOffice, and PC game support was literally a joke.

I recently went back to running regular Ubuntu after distrohopping(and usually kept either Pop OS or Fedora if I wanted something stable) and I have used practically everything maybe except Gentoo or LFS, and to be honest the experience with regular Ubuntu has become pretty cool even with using some apps installed via Snap. Although I do use apps mainly from Flatpak or native sources, snap to be honest isn't as bad as it once was. Not to mention Ubuntu 24.04 compared to any other distro out there is working far better on my laptop surprisingly. Anyways, thanks for the video Nick! Sure 24.10 isn't that big of an upgrade but to celebrate 20th anniversary of by far one of the most popular Linux distros I will be upgrading to it and see how it works out!

Looks like Ubuntu is also pushing for a Flutter based custom Desktop Environment (echosystem tbh) and they're slowly building apps for it in Flutter

[@AndoresuPeresu]

Me being a complete ignorant on this, what would be the advantage of using flutter there?

[@aheendwhz1]

@@AndoresuPeresu I think the biggest advantage is that they'll find issues with Flutter on Linux and fix them, so developers of Flutter apps will have an easier time bringing their apps to Linux. One thing that already came out of their efforts is their Yaru style for Flutter, which makes Flutter apps feel at home on Ubuntu visually. Also, they already wrote a lot of documentation on how to deploy a Flutter app on Linux.

For their own apps, yes. But they have no plans to replace Gnome apps (unless they have good reason to, like with Gnome Software).

snaps already are starting to feel a lot more polished to me tbh.

The official Ubuntu package for the widely used Firefox browser forces you to install it as a snap. This is a huge pain if you don't want to use snap, or use features like 1password integration which don't work with snap. It's also a huge pain if you're installing Firefox for use on the server as part of an Ubuntu-based docker container, as snap won't work properly from within docker.

[@obsoletepowercorrupts]

Love that they've done this _(Gnome flashback style)_ because it helps those of us who use both modern and old distro versions _(and I installed gnome flashback recently to show a list of multiple desktops to chat about to friends at a small gaming multiplayer party recently)._ However, there could be one tweak _(on some distros, not necessarily ubuntu)_ that would help a lot because booting a linux distro in a public wifi place like a pub or coffee shop doesn't need to have the embarrassingly loud boot sound for the first boot _(especially live CD or ISO-to-Pendrive-USB-Boot equivalent)_ which you have no control over in the intial-boot since it is not an install _(other than busting out the command-line which most don't know how to or don't have time)._ A simple no-ear-grape option _(even just "quiet-vs-loud-vs-medium volume level setting)_ would be more incognito and less likely to draw looks. It's really long and really loud (still). It doesn't "advertise" it. We shouldn't need to order a raisin-danish with the coffee just to have something to muffle the speaker with, upon boot-up, as a means to pre-emptively ungrape your ears. For the price of a danish, ordering a live-DVD/CD with the custom sound level would be a fair funders deployment solution. The hash tagging of InitialBootSoundShaming is a community revenue stream meme I'd be down with. On a live-CD/DVD for that first boot, having the volume on-off when you are already booted is a catch22 clause. A LiveCD in a public wifi _(especially with settings loaded for security on floppy disk or by webcam QR-code scanning on some business-card size printout in your wallet, assuming it is version40 177x177 QRCode format with about 3KB of data on it)_ is useful for when you don't want your daily-driver operating system _(be it linux of the same or differing distro or MSWindows or Mac or whatever)_ is handy. FreeNAS would save settings to a floppy having booted from CD-DVD as read only. The last thing one needs is other pub-or-coffeeshop patrons making that impatient specific sighing sound from the back of the throat _(like when using hot breath to polish an apple)_ and simultaneously pinching their nose bridge in disgust at the loudness thinking it is a ringtone _(and then the bar-staff plonk to charity-swear-jar for a 'fine-donation' whilst pointing to a no-phones-indoors-sign on the wall)._ With a danish-priced live-cd-dvd as a funded option, they (live distro coders) could even ship custom (use-once) scratch-n-sniff _(scratch-off-silver-coating)_ encrypted QR_code settings business-cards which are use-once, and you have to bust them out in a forgetful 'emergency of shame' _(aka 'shamemergency', pronounced "shame-mergency", to those in the know),_ costing some pennies each time, to avoid the initial-boot-sound-shaming social consequences by beeping them at the camera upon first-boot of that live-cd-dvd. Printed upon it, a picture of the ground opening up and swallowing a person would serve as a reminder for how it feels when initial-boot-sound-shamed as though it was a phone-sound when it wasn't, thereby accused, like the A-Team, of a transgression you never did commit. Spotting a fellow linux nerd, you could give one of your own _(but guest mode)_ antishame QR business cards _(as a shamemergency initial-boot-sound-shaming countermanding card)_ to avoid them being shamed by those patrons who do not know it is a linux laptop and not a phone, and the card would have some business credentials on it to make it worth it in a mutually beneficial interaction ethos. It'd be all smooth like in American psycho but more modern than a monochrome palm pilot. Olfactory memory mechanisms of Pavlovian response brain-reward-centre mechanisms associate the aroma of the card with the rescuer who handed it that fateful day and said, _"Here, use mine"" (guest mode only)._ The guest-mode would only do cosmetics like the startup sound and it'd be in the primary camera scanning QRCode beep, not the secondary for that would be for security and setups tied to the TPM and/or Multi FactorAuthentication uniquely tied _(upon orders of it on a site in advance)_ to its own secondary QRcode card which is camera-scanning during a second beep and thereby not possible for usage as a security nefarious hack, and unable to be used as guest mode. This could be done in the Regal-RubberChicken distro in future. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

[@gustavgurke9665]

I actually like the new snap file permissions dialog (though I agree it could be more user friendly). With Flatpak, this is kind of a mess: If the app supports file portals, everything works fine for files you open one time. Setting a permanent directory however (e. g. a games folder for Heroic) doesn't work if the app doesn't yet have permission to access that folder; the portal will instead return some random folder in /run that won't be valid the next time you launch the app. You have to give the flatpak access to the folder manually through Flatseal or whatever. It doesn't automatically ask you to do that. And apps that don't support portals at all can't access any files at all until you give them permission manually. This is not user friendly.

I haven't used Unity on a desktop PC in years, but I've been running the current version of Xubuntu on a little laptop for many months now. It's fine. It's much better than Debian, which is the last distribution I had on this machine. As a matter of principle, I prefer deb packages to snaps, but I honestly can't tell the difference in practice.
