gotta cut out them snaps and telemetry from your diet.
sadly its more than that friend: https://github.com/gp187/Ubuntu-Privacy-Fix/blob/master/ubuntu_secure.sh
encourage canonical to do better ; we deserve it.
I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it’s not, it’s mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.
Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here’s a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for
ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there
Don’t worry, no matter how much you explain it Reddit and Lemmy will still act like Ubuntu is the devil and worse than Windows 11.
It’s by far the most commonly used distro, specially for beginners, which means Lemmy must hate it to protect their delusion that using Linux makes them special or superior or intellectuals, when in reality.
And I say all that as an Arch user, btw, who doesn’t like how Ubuntu’s packages are maintaned and shared.
Shouldn’t it be debian doing all the heavy lifting?
(He da one trainin’ man 'buntu.)
no bc of shirt colours.
Yes and no. Would make sense in os point of view, but not in the gym spotting sense
Isn’t basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?
Downvotes like this is why I’m hating lemmy. OP asks an honest question:
Nerds: FUCK YOU!
Yes, the majority of servers are Linux, and yes, most are Debian, of which Ubuntu is a variant.
I would consider downvotes one way of saying no without needing to go through a bunch of effort typing out a reply that will recieve the equivalent upvotes.
What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn’t hit mainstream years ago
Thanks for giving a reasonable response
I wouldn’t say that.
RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I’ve literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.
Redhat isn’t worth billions without a reason.
I’ve run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don’t work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.
I didn’t say Ubuntu isn’t used, but it’s by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.
I would sure hope not
Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.
LMAO, no.
Thank you for your witty and concise answer!
Right lol totally backwards, spotting is easy
