I agree that Linux Mint is closer to what the vocal Linux desktop community would like to see, but Ubuntu is anything but abandoned. Where I work, both my coworkers (excluding myself) and customers are either using RHEL or Ubuntu. That’s it. Sure, everyone on Lemmy and Reddit swears against Ubuntu and has no need for plain-RHEL, but a lot more of the non-vocal Linux community is using Ubuntu. I prefer Pop!_OS, but that’s besides the point.

Source: Ubuntu is anywhere between 4th and 6th place on these charts:

I would hate snaps a lot less if Ubuntu just stopped trying to force me to use them.

Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?

Good thing there’s an arrow pointing to the device, otherwise, I’d have no idea what he’s talking about!

I would think so too, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if there was a catch.

You’re right, but is it easy to convert a VM to a physical machine? I’ve never tried, so I’m genuinely asking.

If you’re interested in making a full jump to Linux at some point, then you’d probably be interested in dual-booting instead of using VM for Windows or Linux.

Every other admin I work with uses vi. Not my personal choice, but it seems like lots of people are content still using it.

They know you use Arch, they're joking. The joke is that Arch users tell people they're using it without anybody asking, hence, the phrase, "I use Arch, btw."
