Ah, well, yet another mark against using snap then. My bad. Thanks for letting me know. :)

Why did people move away from sysvinit again?
One place in one country wants one law. That place in that country will have to isolate its citizens from the rest of the world. Not force the world to play by their rules. Everyone who bends the knee to this kind of overzealous information gathering should be excised from FOSS communities as it only leads to worse things down the line. Every single piece of PID can be connected to all other previously disclosed PID even after “anonymisation” has been applied. Google and Meta do nothing else on the daily.
May you gain the knowledge to see what you’re saying here. And the emotional maturity to be horrified over it.
Why would I want some stupid verification field needed only in one state in one country I don’t even live in? It shouldn’t be in my FOSS when it is not required in my home location. I would like to stay as far away from a dystopian police state as possible, tyvm. No lawyers needed; I’m not in their jurisdiction.
A single law pushed through in a single state in a single country should not lead to systemic changes in FOSS projects used worldwide.

It’s almost like the latest changes are unpopular or something… /s
I would honestly love to see a non-Euclidean desktop.
Yes. But don’t do as I do and try to patch an existing Debian 13.3 to Devuan on a Friday the 13th by following the instructions on the Devuan site. It didn’t pan out and eventually required a reinstall after I tried to fix it all weekend.
The error states “unknown filesystem”, so something definitely broke there.
I like appimages and will use them over flatpak. I will use both, but I will never use snap.
Just remove snap and all files and folders it ever made. I tried it out once about a year ago and found yet another errant folder it left behind in root yesterday. Snap sucks.

Audacious works much the same as WinAmp and even has WinAmp skins you could switch to.
Wow, namecalling. How original. 🙄
Wow, billions of business. 🙄
Bazzite for gaming, but you will only get a cursory glance at Linux as it’s locked down for the most part. Avoid Ubuntu like the plague, go for something like Mint (based on but not the same as) if you want to get an easy Linux experience to learn more. If you like doing it the hard way (easier nowadays) go for something like Arch or Gentoo where you get all the controls you might want over your system. I myself have used Debian for years without issue. Fedora (which Bazzite is based off of) is a decent enough distro as well. You can get a better insight in what you could go for by using https://distrochooser.de/
Hey, at least it’s not snap.
I’m not sure this is the right question. Shouldn’t it be what hardware is not supported by Linux? Most of the time it’s the Linux (kernel) developers who create the drivers for hardware support since companies still seem of the opinion that they only need to support Windows, with some exceptions to the rule?
Am I mistaken in this?
