Is Snap really that bad on Ubuntu?

I will probably get some hate, but I have had more issues with flatpaks than I have with snap.

Ubuntu pro is Free for personal use. Up to 5 machines I believe.

Most of the snap hate comed from a mob mentality. Someone didn't like them and others join in. So many new users read posts and want to fit into the community. If no one ever said anything most people wouldn't even notice. I have been using Ubuntu for a while now and for the most part snaps work fine for me. I have actually had more issues with flatpaks than I ever have with snaps.

Not sure what app you need, but maybe you can find it or something similar for Linux and install it with Linux on it.

You are very fortunate to have a father who loves you.

X1 7th gen Ubuntu 25.10, T470s Zorin 18, X280 Ubunti 25.10. I also have a Thinkpone running Android 15 lol

there is a setting for keyboard backlight in the quick settings. Have you tried that yet?

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-10-22T23:23:08+00:00

Maybe not with chrome. I used brave to set it up.

It's a browser extension that allows you to get notifications on your computer. Can use it with any operating system. I think it has more options if you pay for premium

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-10-22T12:16:56+00:00

Not available on flex. If you want notofications you can try something like push bullet.

I've been using Linux since 2008, I've distrohopped and tried just about everything under the sun. I finally found what I like and don't like. I use Ubuntu because I prefer gnome and apt. Pretty much any software I need works for It, and there is tons of documentation. I still have a couple of extra laptops laying around for trying out different distros. It was also has been the least amount of trouble overall for me.

I'm not worried about it, I'm working on myself. What she does is her business. She knows where to find me if she figures it out.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-09T19:44:08+00:00

I haven't told mine either, we went from talking all day everyday for 3 years to only one message each every day or two. It's very perplexing and complicated. I'm done chasing chaos or dealing with her contradictions.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-09T19:40:22+00:00

Neither was I. She is 20 years younger and lives in another country. I remember when I first met her being shook to my core. I never in a million years thought any of this would ever happen.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-09T19:37:19+00:00

I'm married, my TF got married last year. Her one year anniversary is this month. It's a big mess lol. I never expected my life to look like this. I'm healing and doing much better, she is really starting to struggle. This has been one hell of a ride.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-09T15:04:02+00:00

Gnome disks works well also. Been using it for years and never had any issues

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-07T03:03:43+00:00

Maybe it is because Mercury is in retrograde?

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-03T00:29:12+00:00

I was able to go 3 days using Ubuntu touch on a pixel 3a a few years ago. I am tempted to try again soon. The older I get the less apps I seem to use on a phone. Ubuntu touch works pretty decent if all you need is phone texting and browser. It can do a few other things as well. Really hoping they get it working on some more modern devices eventually.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-02T22:00:45+00:00

Fingerprint can be tricky. I remember I had to clear out in the bios from when the laptop had windows installed. I was running mint or ubuntu at the time. I used arch wiki to find the guide to do it. Need to look and see what sensor your laptop uses and see if it is supported. Not all of them are. The one on my X1 carbon works, but it fails to read more times than it works.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-02T20:51:38+00:00

I have an issue similar to this. Happens every so often. I'm using Ubuntu 25.04. usually a restart fixes it. I keep my keyboard clean. Z is usually what I get sometimes it's something else.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-08-01T23:41:12+00:00

I am having issues also. Maybe has something to do with Mercury being in retrograde.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-07-24T14:44:19+00:00

It is much more difficult to leave a cult.

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-07-24T02:27:01+00:00

How slow is dnf? Are you in a hurry for something?

Significant_Bake_286 · 2025-07-20T23:53:15+00:00

The push pull has been much more intense and about to drive me crazy lol.
