[johariedga]

Yep Joe you miss typed it...Thanks for what you do for us 10 year newbies!!!!

Looking forward to giving MATE a try, as it's been a while. Not sure I like the direction Canonical are going though if they're planning on having most apps installed as a Snap!

You should record a video on Gnome Boxes at some point. I've been happy with VirtualBox but I am curious about this alternative.


Thanks for all of the great content! I know that I will learn some new things when I watch one of yours.

[MohanRam]

Me too, I can't use any other desktop environment other than GNOME.

[guyclark]

Thank you for another great video. Ubuntu Eoan GNOME is rocking. It is interesting that you are working with Boxes in this video. It would be interesting to hear your evaluation of Boxes and how it stacks up beside VirtualBox.
As a matter of interest did you know an existing VirtualBox vdi. can be imported and converted to run on Boxes.

As a relative newby with Ubuntu I had a problem with snap - there are two entries for KeePassXC (my preferred password manager) in the Discover software manager. At some point I had clicked on both of them and both were installed. If it were not for the fact that one of them did not follow my desktop theme it might have been a long time before I twigged. You see, one of them integrated with the browsers seamlessly and the other just wouldn't. Depending on which shortcut icon I happened to use to launch the program it intermittently worked and failed.
It was, of course the snap package which was all wrong - there was no mention of its different status or non standard program file location etc. (it did give itself permission to load upon booting without ever asking too.) I did learn quite a bit whie sorting this out - principally how to delete and remove snap and ALL its packages. And then I got rid of Discover and replaced what apps I wanted using Muon package manager. As a side benefit my home disk is way less cluttered and quite a bit less full.

Upvoted because you left the snafu at the end in. :: thumbs up ::

Hi Joe,


I have just started watching your videos and I'm really enjoying them and learning a lot about Linux, which I am new to. I would like to make a request for a specific video, or maybe you've already done one and you could point me in the right direction. I'm looking for an in depth explanation of the following terms and how they all relate to each other. Platform, distribution, release, flavour, desktop. Another way to describe what I am looking for is what the difference is between all these things compared to one another. And/or, what is the hierarchy of these things? Is this something you could think about doing sometime? Keep up the good work.
Regards,


Paul

I want to point out that snaps are geting beter, (if I have the option I use flatpaks) thanks for the video.

I've actually never been keen on a cluttered desktop. A wallpaper and maybe a couple of desktop widgets with full transparency and I'm good. Removing the app menu would kinda make sense cause most apps don't make use of it anyway.

[OscarMarquez]

I still use Unity 7 with 18.04, so far still works great! I hope still it's works on 19.10

[experimental]

The slowness of the snaps is an issue sometimes, but once that gets fixed, it might be better. I've stripped out most of the snaps in my 19.04 and replaced with the normal packages from Synaptic except for the ones I could not find.

[NicoDsSBCs]

I like snap since there's a lot more software and versions with it. I don't know if I'd like it to replace apt. I'm mostly waiting for 20.04. I'm a single board computer user. Only LTS versions are stable enough to do good work. Manjaro is then another solution, but I always come back to Armbian(Ubuntu) Bionic 18.04. For now.
If it works, don't fix it. A lot of work goes into making things work well on SBC's. So a transition isn't always easy. Thank you for the great info. Cheers, NicoD

I might do a complete reinstall on my laptop after 19.10 rel. I’ve been updating my install for years and while it works fine the changes I’ve made have made it a mess.

[AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Joe. From what I've been told, Pop!_OS will not follow Ubuntu's snap policies though it allows snaps. We shall see.

Even if you have duel xeon cpus, it doesn't mean it's going to be fast, your per core performance can be horrible as it usually with older xeons.

I ran into an error out of the blue using Virtualbox recently and tried Boxes. It can automate a lot of it even downloading the image. I'm not that fond of automation since it's defaults for a VM are a bit sparse on resources but it has a few options here and there. Overall I like it so far, the beta of Ubuntu 19.10 not as much but it's not ready for me yet being the noob I am still.

[Osama-epvl]

I try Ubuntu beta and I have no issue.
everything work just fine.

Snap packages are great because they make it easier to install software. Especially software that has many dependencies where some of it may even have to be manually compiled. It uses more disk space, but safes the user from many headaches.
