Sounds great. Ubuntu works good out of the box. My only recommendation with Ubuntu is that instead of using ‘Snap’ checkout flatpak. Snap will update shit without your knowledge, or say so, and is ‘closed’. Snap goes against the philosophy of a free and open system, where as flatpak does not. And flatpak provides just as many apps as Snap AFAIK.

Maybe. But like democracy being a terrible system, it’s still better than the alternatives.

Exactly. It’s not capitalism, it’s crony capitalism that sucks. Big business and government in cooperation is bad for us all. Truly free markets will still produce dickhead corporations, but competition allows good businesses to compete and give consumers better options.

Trouble is you’ve then got to re-open all of your apps again. As a developer I have about 10 different things open (including zellij sessions and panes). I’ve started just leaving my computer on 24/7. How much does it cost me per month? Better not think about it!
