Ooh. I’ve never seen this before. Thanks for the clarification!

What?

Thanks to your comment I didn’t give up on clicking that link.

Unless they’re a terrible taxidermist and you get a Labubu instead.

Why can I hear this picture?

Just why

If you delete /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/* you can brick your motherboard. If it doesn’t have a recovery mode of some kind then it will be permanently bricked.

Edit: most modern hardware comes with protections against this nowadays though

I’ll just repost this repost of my personal experience then:

Here’s my answer to this same question from an old thread on Reddit:

My Ubuntu system always reserved a whopping 20% of my 32GB ram for no reason and I never bothered to know why. Later I uninstalled snapd because of boot time issues and guess what happened? Only 1.5 GB used after a fresh boot.

I had like 4 different JetBrains IDEs installed via snap with each totalling around 2GB of disk space. While removing snapd I discovered it kept back 2-3 previous versions of every package on your disk.

Uninstalling this bloat was the best thing I did to my ubuntu system. It was suddenly light as a feather and way more responsive like I just did a fresh system install.

Some time later I was installing something from apt and Ubuntu tried to install it from snap, thus sneakily installing snapd in the process. Looking for a solution, I felt like I was looking up how to disable Windows updates or some other shit.

I had a moment of clarity and wondered why the fuck did I have to put up with this kinda bullshit on Linux. I wiped that drive clean and switched to Fedora.

Edit: and there’s also flatpak which-despite being awful in some ways-is better than snap in every conceivable way.

Canonical: snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap

I didn’t say it’s the actual diagram, I said it’s referencing it. Also chill. It’s a stupid meme

You just LOLd 🤔

A version that made me crack up was “astronauts use Linux because there’s no sound in space”

You are awesome for using Linux. Any Linux. That’s a fact

You did good, son. You did good. Rest now, you earned it

Nix is probably offscreen to the extreme right

It’s a meme sub though

Gotta dig in early before the pesky Americans wake up

And there’s no shame in that! Use whatever works for you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
