Snaps are neat

I like the ideea of having a stable system and certain packages up to date. In fact I need this to do my job.

As a dev I like the concept that I can distribute my product to multiple distros with just snaps. No matter the licence I chosen!

As a Linux desktop user, I like the fact we are trying new things. We are not always stuck in our comfort zone. I want the Linux Desktop to become more popular and that is never going to happen with "sudo apt install".
Dont want things to change?! Fine, but I do. Choose a more traditional distro, like Debian.

As a dev having personal projects I would like to sell my software and I think with snaps I would be able to do that in the future. But not with apt etc.

I also understand that snaps are still WIP, so we need to have some patience and appreciate that progress is made.


edit: I guess hating anything canonical does is still cool.

Why isn't Ubuntu touch as successful as Android if both are based on linux?

As far as I know, the projects like Pinephone are still struggling with a lot of problems such as getting camera working etc, while Android had all of these essential functionalities even back in 10 years ago. What is the reason?

Moving to Linux Phone

Hi Everyone

Im at a bit of a crossroads at the moment.

I cant choose whice OS to use, whice then determines what phone i also buy.

My brain as a cyber student has already chosen but my heart is not in to the 1st choice mainly because it's a google phone and I cant find any information about back doors within the hardware?

so here goes my list. if anyone can persuade me to make a decision base on their experience would be great. I'm looking to run a linux phone as my daily. I have already been through all information and know what apps I need and dont. I'll be using it for Phone calls, SMS, internet base apps. Pretty much getting away from google services, and any tracking that can be done.

1st choice. GrapheneOS with Pixal 3 or 3a

2nd Choice. /e/ (eelo) with Galaxy S9 or oneplus7 or xiomi or maybe nexus 6 or moto g4

3rd Choice. Pinephone

4th choice. LineageOS

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

AMD or Nvidia GPU for Linux

TL;DR: How does Nvidia perform on Linux in 2020?

2 years ago I bought a Vega 56 and sold my GTX 1070 because no matter what I did, I only had problems with Nvidia on Linux like screen tearing and sluggish DE performance. I am dual booting with Windows because I use Windows only programs professionally and my favorite games don't run in Linux. The Vega 56 does a formidable job on both operating systems but now it's time for an upgrade, so I was thinking about getting a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT. However, I hear bad things about the Windows driver, black screens, game and system crashes. So my question is if Nvidia has improved on Linux and if a 2070 Super would be an alternative. Thanks for your help!
