- Comment on Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution 2 weeks ago:Ah, gotcha. I’m not technical enough to understand the functional difference between flatpak and snap, but I know that snaps are centrally controlled by Canonical and thus I assume not as enshittification resistant as flatpak. But from the end user perspective, they can be a lot simpler to use than ppas for random software. For me they’re kind of a guilty pleasure. 
- Comment on Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution 2 weeks ago:Holy Shit, Barrier but good is here!!!! I had no idea, I thought we were all waiting for input leap to get out of alpha and release something… My heart goes out to all the devs <3 
- Comment on Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution 2 weeks ago:AFAIK it is packages but also default configurations. I am not an expert though this is just a guess. 
- Comment on Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution 2 weeks ago:Ubuntu is great. Lots of guides for things, great community support, and things usually just work. Plenty easy enough to do what you want to do without having to learn a bunch of stuff all the time. I think this is why it is not the preferred choice for experts who want to configure everything themselves, or have strong opinions about the internals of how it works. But I basically want to never have to think about the os if I don’t have to. 
- Comment on Flow chart for choosing a Linux distribution 2 weeks ago:Out of curiosity, is the live USB / install experience that different than kubuntu? I’ve never tried mint.
