Linux is boring -- which is a good thing. :) "It just works."

(Unless you're like DFS doing weird things to try to break it.)

BTW, Linux 7.1 is out. Woo-haw! \o/

Distro lackeys cannot advocate GNU/Linux. They are all
technically stupid. That's why all that they can do is
allow a distro to install itself over and over. Big
deal.

Yes, 7.1 is out. There is not much to note but if
one uses NTFS (I don't) then there are some improvements.

Also, there is FRED by default:

My CPUs don't have FRED so I shut it off.

Nvidia 610.43.02, the latest in the Gentoo tree, builds
with 7.1 without problem.

Thus, I am now 7.1 with Nvidia 610.43.02 (which is open source).

I am not "distro lackeys", so I have achievement last weekeend: I
largely extend and improved my monograph "Konf. i Zabezp. Sys. Op. z
Rodz. Ubuntu" (in Eng. "Configuration and Security Ubuntu OS"). I wrote
it in Polish lang. and I publish it for free (free as in free beer) at
my home WWW site:

<https://energokod.gda.pl/monografie/Konf.%20i%20Zabezp.%20Sys.%20Op.%20z%20Rodz.%20Ubuntu.pdf>

I advocate it in polish Usenet: download it, comprehend read it, in
order to use Linux in smart and efficient way.

I do it officially, but for some reason, you shame your own WWW site. So
who you are? Shame-boy? Grow up! And put your self together and make
valuable self-teaching articles or brochures or monographs. Because
currently you make only hype without any valuable content.

NOTE: I also publish on my home WWW site other Linux related and useful
PDF docs - see "Monografie i Broszury - Linuks" (in Eng. "Linux
Monographs And Brochures") section:

Great! You have accomplished certainly far more than the regular
contributors to COLA will ever accomplish.

But Ubuntu is undoubtedly the WORST GNU/Linux distro that exists.
Ubuntu is evil in disguise and you should concentrate on other
distros.

The group is trashed because of that fuckwit snit.
The same thing began to happen when he infiltrated TPG which is where I
first encountered this vile piece of trash.
He never made it out of the gate as he was asked to leave, which he did.
The last place a fuckwit like snit should troll is a gun enthusiast group
so even a retard like snit figured that out.

My MxLinux is still running 7.0.12-1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 7.0-13~mx25ahs (2026-06-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've noticed that there have been many kernel updates recently. More than
the usual MxLinux release schedule.

Any idea why?

Yes.

"Security researchers" (of various levels of knowledge) started
feeding Linux source code into AI looking for exploits.

As a result, the Linux security list has been flooded with
AI slop of questionable utility.

I think Red Hat is worse.

What is it about Ubuntu that you don't like?

BTW: I use Mint, which has Debian/Ubuntu underpinnings, but disables
"snaps" by default. (The reason I don't like "snaps" is there is
no way for someone to host a "snap repository" -- it is proprietary
technology from Canonical.)

A true advocate should always "roll his own."

IAW, you have nothing. (Natch.)

Anybody using a repository for most of their
packages is using a distro -- like you.

You are a blow-hard.

It is trivial to block it and the people mentioning it.

Why did you warn it? You could have solved the problem for all of us and
had some fun doing so.

It is.

The fact that it doesn't require a PhD to install.

Snap is also more secure than Flatpak is for that very reason.
