Sanctus comments on Ubuntu's "AI Kill Switch" Is Achieved By Removing Snaps, Initially Opt-In

Ubuntu has always been this ugly, slow as shit distro for me. I ran my first Minecraft server on a potato with Ubuntu and it barely worked at all. Just switching to Debian made it viable.

It's been solid reliable for me since 2004.

Unfortunately, it's time to change.

How was that stint where they sent your desktop search results to Amazon?

Mild inconvenience, it was a different time, Amazon was still cool among many.

Unfortunately, it’s time to change.

If you didn't switch to a credible distribution after all the shit Canonical pulled already, you won't switch away from Ubuntu this time either.

I could get around all their bullshit before and still have a very good, very usable Linux OS.

Now if you remove Snaps, the system breaks. And so if you have to remove Snaps to get rid of the AI... I mean, I draw the line at forcing Snaps to have a functioning system. But the AI is the cherry on top of the swirl of shit this distro is about to become.

I think I made my mind. I'm going to go with Tumbleweed. I was thinking Debian, but it's missing too many quality of life features and it's a bit old.
