Too busy with Satisfactory 1.0 to do anything else at the moment, but I'll probably check it out eventually

I'm not sure I follow your logic there, it looks to me like it has the opposite long term effect by removing what competition actually is there

Thanks! I've not been having many problems, but if it's causing a performance loss it would be good to take care of it, I'll check that out

This sort of buy-fatten-milk-kill acquisition should just be flat out illegal

Not just any corporation, but one that's done this exact kind of thing themselves

There is no good guy here

I'm not familiar with these vulkan packages, what should I look for?

I'm not sure why that's so surprising actually

That's not true, the placebo effect is very real

Debian doesn't have sudo by default, you have to install it manually

Not sure what they mean by "non Ubuntu variants" though since most other distros add it even when they aren't Ubuntu based

"You're absolutely right, we wouldn't want to take too long to break the network or open god rights vulnerabilities"

I bypassed their DRM ink cartridges years ago by buying literally anything other than an HP

Ubuntu really isn't the only candidate though... Mint may not have quite as much name recognition, but I don't think it's that far off, and it has pretty much all of the benefits of Ubuntu without the issues.

Mint just works.

And I absolutely think it's justified to call Canonical out for things like quietly redirecting apt to install snaps instead or throwing up scare messages to make people think they're insecure if they don't pay for a subscription or adding unnecessary packages to the minimal install image that're only useful for paid subscribers but call home regardless

Canonical has been toxic and getting worse, not calling them out is basically telling them it's okay for them to treat the community the way they have.
