    Re: e-waste - trashing old hard drives

    I'm using Appimages at the moment just more familiar with them.

    I'm finding Easy OS to live up to it's name.

  12. Re: i dont get all the fuss about snaps, i think it's great!

    So that command only clears Snap cache for removed Snaps and not installed Snaps.
  13. Re: i dont get all the fuss about snaps, i think it's great!

    Am I understanding correctly if I just want to clear Snap cache without removing any Snaps this command will do it.


    sudo sh -c 'rm -rf /var/lib/snapd/cache/*'

    I believe that makes the difference of having problems and not having problems.

    I opt for the minimal install and use OOTB and I don't have any problems.

    Never understood and never will understand how you can complain about something that's free.

    No one forced anyone to use Ubuntu that's a user choice.

    Unhappy with Ubuntu use something else.
