Re: Could Apt Package Manager Be Eventually Fased out of LTS Releases?
been with Ubuntu since the days of Warty (still have the install CD) then moved to Ubuntu LTS when the LTS first came out and remained with the LTS until 22.04 LTS.
i always believed that the LTS was the best, most stable, most reliable of Ubuntu and could be used in the corporate environment as it was rock solid.
but i cant understand why they put snaps in the LTS, in the 6 monthly releases yes, as it seems not to be working as it should therefore makes the LTS work more like the 6 monthly release.
Unity wasn't a problem it didn't get in my way. systemd is not a problem, i used it as a DNS caching server, it doesn't get in my way. snaps no matter what i have tried gets in my way.
even after removing snaps it tries to get back into the system so then you have to play around to lock snaps out of the system which then reduces available deb software. snaps just gets in my way which is not what i want.
i had Debian 11 running in boxes but the snap version of boxes wouldn't allow USB pass-through and to get the deb of boxes from the software centre i had to remove snaps. and so on it went.
when Debian 12 was released i thought why not give it a shot and installed it directly on to my computer. the install was easy and the installer even easier and everything just worked.
so i would like to thank Ubuntu for all their hard work because it gave me a grounding in Debian Linux which i'm now using, which i hasten to add, is snap free and doesn't get in my way ...
