Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Debian is just Ubuntu before they add Snap.

    Or, remove snap from Ubuntu:

    # Remove snap
            if [ -n "$(which snap 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
                    SNAPS=$(snap list |awk '{print $1}' |grep -v Name)
                    for SNAP in ${SNAPS} do; snap remove ${SNAP}; done
                    sudo systemctl stop snapd
                    sudo systemctl stop snapd.socket
                    sudo systemctl disable snapd
                    sudo systemctl mask snapd
                    sudo apt purge snapd -y
                    sudo apt-mark hold snapd
                    sudo cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
    Package: snapd
    Pin: release a=*
    Pin-Priority: -10
    EOF
                    rm -rf ~/snap
                    sudo rm -rf /snap
                    sudo rm -rf /var/snap
                    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/snapd
                    # Add needed repositories
                    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa -y
                    echo '
    Package: *
    Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
    Pin-Priority: 1001
    
    Package: thunderbird
    Pin: version 2:1snap*
    Pin-Priority: -1
    ' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird
                    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xtradeb/apps -y

    That is a lot of code that could have been a single command.

    I would love to see a single command that removes snap, cleans disk, keeps snap from reinstalling, and adds repos to replace packages lost.

    replace newlines with semicolons
