Week 2 of 24/7 Linux and I don't understand the move towards snap on Ubuntu: - webapps running on Firefox can't use locally installed fonts - VS Code broke yesterday and I had to roll it back to a previous version - Obsidian also broke - Krita randomly crashes These are relatively popular apps that just don't work!

Although I love Ubuntu, it has proven to me over the years that it is not stable os for me.

Yeah I think I may want to switch, nixOS seems cool but maybe a lot of work? what do you use?

I have no experience with NixOS, but it seems to have good package manager. - I use centOS for server and backend services as well. - freeBSD is the most stable os that I have seen! but not popular. macOS has been the os that has kept me completely satisfied. Also windows for some specific development.

The problem is that so much of the tech I want to use runs best on Linux. WSL is an option but it's inconvenient.... will do more research

Are you having the same issues you mentioned with TLS distributions of Ubuntu?

I want to use latest versions of software... I'm finding that flatpak and appimages are way better than snaps!

I agree with appimage! It is a good option. 👌🏼⚡️
