Good luck with fighting dependency hell!
Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it's free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.
"But you can make your own!"
If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It's in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.
Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.
Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it's still much more free than snaps.
Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say "fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!".
We are not the same.
Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

PTSD triggered
"How come my typing fingers hurt?"
"you've never used them before."
Fingering the rabbit hole?
*You stay in Wayland.
You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.
Ah, shit, TempleOS.
Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.
I look at the cool elephant whenever I'm feeling down

“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
Dude, you're getting a dell ...
And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".
Ubuntu logo is a trinity but you're not getting laid
The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.
L4L, must have showered and touched grass within the last 24 hours.

Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows
I know, they won't, but I'm gonna keep asking anyway
Hey, same boat. I've tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)... But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.
Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.
so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.
People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that's the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.
If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I'm gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.
How did that happen?
Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.
I've heard of being blocked from a specific service like Xbox Live but never the whole of Microsoft. How would people get Windows updates? It's crazy.
It's not all of Microsoft, you just can't download ISOs from their website.
Fair enough
Why are both of the USB drives red?
Because choice is an illusion.
Both are Linux.
Until you find out about snap
Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
