Gnome Software does this with offline upgrades. It's optional. Doing sudo dnf upgrade is the same as sudo apt update && upgrade. No reboot. Obviously you should reboot for kernels and certain hooks but otherwise yeah. You can disable gnome software automatic downloads etc

When was the last time you used Ubuntu though?

Some people could say "last time I used Ubuntu it was full of Amazon ads!" But that would have been like 13 years ago

The thing about Ubuntu that kills me (as a user of it) is the other users who comment on reddit/r/Ubuntu.

They are so confidentally incorrect about so much shit.

Talk about removing snaps?

"Core gnome functionality on Ubuntu requires snaps"

That's not even remotely true. Snaps download Gnome* runtime libraries for it, just like Flatpaks do to run the snaps.

Just an example but still. I see so much crap like this.

Ubuntu 8.10 in late 2008. while I didn't use Linux for that long due to a lack of understanding I did come back to it in in a few years to check out I think Ubuntu 10.04 in 2010 or and then Fedora 36 a few years ago and never plan to leave

Yeah AFAIK the only two DEs that fully support Wayland are the big two - Gnome and KDE. and a few tiling window managers like Sway and Hyprland.

I look forward to a world where all modern DEs are fully supportive of Wayland like Cinnamon and Budgie and I know people love their xfce.

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you'd already have these.

Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla

Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn't stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years
