Yeah I started in the Red Hat 2 era, played with all the WMs and DEs, compiled my own kernel a few times. After a point I had too much going on in my life to tinker with my distro. My needs are simple, I just need a terminal and a package manager.

Snaps have issues sure, but anything is better than the dependency hell of old.

Use what works. It’s really that simple.

Anytime I run into that question I tell them if I could manage FTL comms I wouldn’t be working here.

Once heard a guy tell me about a game he was in. When a player didn’t show up the character turned into a gold coin. And when the player returned the coin would turn back into a character. During the game the party found out the BBEG was the one doing rituals to turn people into the coins.
