Regarding the Flatpak issue in Ubuntu flavors, we want to reassure you that these are only the official flavors and that we have no intention of adopting Snap as a replacement for Flatpak or remove Flatpak at all. Nothing will change.

@carlwgeorge Thanks for the solid take. I've wanted to use a RHEL enterprise system for a while and gave CentOS a good go a while back, but I just can't do Gnome really, it's not bad but I just love KDE so much more. I daily drove Fedora KDE for a couple years back in the F20-23 days and loved it! May give it another shot! The short update cycle really was a problem though and I even had to reinstall from scratch do to a failed update between version numbers. I'm sure it's gotten better though!
Can anyone here speak on the daily-drive-ability or AlmaLinux? Specifically setup with KDE and not Gnome?!

Big win: EU's Data Protection Supervisor rejects non-EU cloud, offers a secure collaboration #Nextcloud platform to all EU institutions with our partner @TAS_Group
@LinuxClaude@fosstodon.org For me, I completely understand why someone wouldn't have an issue here. It's more than just this, it's some other decisions and directions Ubuntu is going as well. Like Ubuntu Pro. Plus, I was a full-time Fedora KDE user for a LONG time. I loved it! I switched to Kubuntu for the software ease of use and LTS, but with everything going to universal installers and having options like AlmaLinux for LTS, I see little reason to stay. So, just view my statement as a Fedora fan fanboy😂
@LinuxClaude@fosstodon.org It's more of a statement than anything. Why would they remove functionality that's already there, especially when it's so popular and used.

After Flatpak, another major project has undergone a visual refresh -- Flathub. It gets a little more than a coat of fresh paint very soon. Thank you everyone involved!
@Defolos Thanks!
#Ubuntu removing Flatpak is the last straw. It's a continuing trend in the wrong direction. I'm going to research switching my company's whole fleet to #fedora or #AlmaLinux when the upgrades start happening. Such a shame! Ubuntu has been good for so long. Also made Nvidia drivers SO easy to install. Any tips for Nvidia installation on Fedora appreciated!

Swedish authorities, municipalities, and companies need solutions and services which are able to comply with their regulatory requirements.
Read more about why they choose Nextcloud Hub as perfect solution to fit these requirements!

No Flatpak by default for Ubuntu flavors! 😫

Oh what a terrible decision.
Canonical will prevent Ubuntu flavors to come with Flatpak preinstalled, as they want to push snaps.
Kind of a Microsoft-like move here. Really bad.
Make everything USB-C. Don't care if it's a little confusing what type of C you have. Just make them all C.

There is a CIA booth at SXSW, just in case you're wondering how that event is now.
This is dumb. Getting very tired of a lot of Ubuntu's decisions lately. I'm going to be giving Fedora KDE another shot before too long now. Great writeup by @omgubuntu though!

@omgubuntu Kubuntu specifically. But I install everything I can as a Flatpak

As #Linux users, or even as #Windows users, we often hear a lot of preconceived notions, like "Linux is faster", or "Windows has better battery life".
Well, I decided to quantify all of it in a complete benchmark between Windows 11 and #ubuntu
CPU and GPU benchmarks, disk speeds, thermals, internet speeds, gaming benchmarks, battery life, I looked at everything on the same device, and the conclusions were... surprising:
@gardiner_bryant @notnomiSylimE I just don't think you'll ever be able to beat the original universe. The stories and characters are truly well thought out and the design is unparalleled.
