Linux for Human Beings.
Ubuntu is a popular Linux operating system for PC / mobile devices, etc.
Developed by Canonical & based on Debian (another older Linux OS) which is known for it's rock solid stability.
Ubuntu is trusted everywhere computing by professionals and common users alike.
you don't want to know how old are the OS releases we use at work.
I'm wondering if the numbers are different for flatpaks.
Makes sense to me. Most people probably don't want the hassle of having to upgrade a non lts release. I'm still on 22.04 on the machine I use for work.
Wondering why you would use a non lts version?
If anyone does, I would like to know.
I have considered using one because a few bugs or missing features I encounter are caused by older versions of a software (e.g. old version of imagemagick not supporting animated AVIF) and I want to stick to the stable official packages instead of custom builds or PPAs. But I remain on LTS.
Main thing I care about is having the latest version of Gnome. Otherwise I use flatpaks for all my apps.
Why not use a rolling release distro?
I actually use Fedora Silverblue, not Ubuntu. But I still maintain the snap because it’s really easy to do and I like the app.
Aurora user here! Loving it so far, still got a lot to learn about doing desktop in containers…
What kind of snap? If it's something that servers are more likely to use, for example, that could bring an interesting bias to the results.
LocalSend. A cross platform app similar to AirDrop.
