Late for the show.

Many times this has happened to me also. I think probably, you need to allow "Java Scripts" on this site to be able to have line breaks.

Seems to be an easy way to run desktop OS's in containers, (or not), and share apps to the host.

This person shares how to run Window Managers and Desktop Environments with Distrobox:

Hi,

Have you looked at this page in GitHub:

https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift

It states that it is maintained at Linux Mint. Maybe more help is available there.

I'm grateful that there are knowledgeable people, providing historical information about this sort of thing. Linux must be protected from the leeches. Thanks.

Well, once there is a "work around" providing Security Updates for snaps, then concerns might be addressed. Currently, this "work around" isn't available.

See again:

Herein lie my objections to Snaps et al. So it is with a great many users.

With Snaps we lose our shared library system, and its' combined security updates. I don't see this changing with...

I'm still waiting on 20.04 to see what 24.04 will bring. Separate Dpkg and Snap OS versions, sounds hopeful to me. Although, 'the proof will be in the pudding'.

Oh, I see. I found the tutorials in the forum body. Thank you.

Hello,

I was hoping to read your tutorial on, 'How you install your Ubuntu Server'. But alas, your HammondsLegacy site is not responding.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, Xubuntu's memory usage has soared from what is was a decade ago. (More bling).

10 years ago, Xubuntu at rest for me was in the 200 megabyte range. Debian Xfce was a mere 95...

I quickly read about this. It certainly seems something I should investigate more thoroughly. As long as I can install my preferred Desktop (Xubuntu to it), I quite possibly, would like this. I don't...

Thank you.

I am sill running Xubuntu 20.04, (I still get security updates until 25.04), when I need to decide what I am going to do about Snaps.

First thing I plan to do before 25.04, is to...

Thank you, for the well-written expose on Debian 12. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for the reply.

No, I didn't notice that it was an old post. (I never look to see when the pages are posted. I guess I need to start).

So; I plan to have Debian Stable as my host OS, with...

Hello everyone! I am not doing VMs right now, only reading. I have read more than once in this forum, the importance of 'Securing VMs'.

So, I have started looking and see similar suggestions as...

I just want to complement you. It seems lately, your posts have been more detailed oriented. With you offering different options and suggestions, as to why you think some are more viable. Maybe, it...

Tis a Xfce thing, I think.

I don't think so, when I read things like Debian's Security Warning, on Flatpaks and Snaps:

I apologize. I thought I could help, but I can not.

Hi there.

Tis an older thread now, and OP may have installed already and not see this response.
