Linux Mint doesn't use snaps by default

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even come with snap installed. Idk why you're getting downvoted

[-] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Me neither, that was the whole point of the parent comment about using Mint.

Edit: the people have redeemed me from the -5 I was at before.

Maybe some people are worried that eventually snaps will be so ingrained into Ubuntu that it'll be too difficult for derivatives to remove?

idfk. just install gentoo, guys.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

NixOS, but yeah

[-] Alejandro_@compuverse.uk 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, you have to remove an apt preference to be able to install Snap https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html

the devs seem pretty against it.

LMDE is a distro?

Linux Mint Debian Edition

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Isn’t Mint already Debian based? What is the difference between mint and lmde?

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Linux Mint is Ubuntu based as it originally started as a protest distro against decisions take by canonical.
LMDE cuts out the middle man and is directly based on Debian.
If you use Cinnamon DE and like LTS releases; where secure patches are backported and feature releases are held back until the next major release, then LMDE is a good choice.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Mint is Ubuntu based which is Debian based which is just plainly Based.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev -3 points 7 months ago

I see! So close to LXDE.
