About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I'm really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It's so unnecessary. I'm genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that's a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you're fiddling enough with WSL that you're running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You're better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.

US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'm very intrigued by your definition of Liberalism. It doesn't correlate with liberalism across the world.

Is there any reason why there is no large generalist Lemmy instance managed from the USA? Is this just a coincidence? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Some right wingers are upset that in some European countries there are consequences for posting death threats on Twitter

I'm pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

May as well just install Ubuntu then.

For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don't have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.
