Canonical's pitch starts with snaps and security.

    For AI, Linux users must move beyond [Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) and … to signed, auto-updated, policy-driven snaps.

    This is written as if apt repos don’t have package signing, automatic updating or security policies. It does all those things, and does it better.

    Mark really has become like all the other South African wannabe-astronaut tech oligarchs.

      for those curious you can install snap with this easy command sudo apt purge snapd.

    I wonder what Mark thinks of the term “sloperating system”?

    Canonical has no choice but to be “in the thick of” AI and agents if open source is to have any say in how these systems evolve.

    The more the left denies this, the more it sounds like the right by clinging to outdated beliefs.

          Probably. I’m not right wing though. I’m just sick of people dragging politics into things that don’t need it. There are dozens of political communities. Talk politics there.

              Left, right, doesn’t matter. Billionaires are the problem. This technology wouldn’t get off the ground without billionaires.

          Perhaps they do… but that doesn’t change it here. AI isn’t really a left vs right thing though, It’s a solution in search of problems. Constantly pointed out that it can’t scale, and so far most of what it does is… match humans, at a higher cost… and it’s price is increasing rather than decreasing

      Sooo… the right are the bad guys in that scenario? And the left are becoming the bad guys by not agreeing with that?

      I mean… What’s your point?

      LMDE is Mint built on Debian. So there’s no Ubuntu for them to even strip out.

    People love to shit on Ubuntu, but I do think it’s important to remember that their primary customers are enterprises. That’s what pays the bills, and it’s also the reason that it’s so well-supported. And since it’s still Linux, you can disable or remove anything you disagree with, or go with a fork that’s done that heavy lifting for you. Some companies (and individuals) will want the best-in-class Linux support for AI inference. Get over it.
