Yes TheLounge is fantastic but I switched to Convos these days because it's lighter weight and I somehow manage to overrun my disk much less often :)

Good choices!

The original Thief is such an incredibly atmospheric experience. Nothing quite like slinking around in the shadows watching that visibility meter...

If I had a #11 I'd have listed Halo3. GREAT game :)

1. Joust (1982 arcade game by Williams)
2. Marble Madness (arcade, 1984)
3. Fantavision (PS/2 - also Fantavision 202x - remake for modern PC)
4. Bioshock
5. Stardew Valley
6. Oxygen Not Included
7. Another World (Amiga)
8. Populous (Amiga)
9. Lemmings (Amiga)
10. Star Raiders (Atari 8 bit)

Hat tip to you for including some classic games. Most of the respondants are making me feel positively antediluvian :)

Nice to see that KDE is so well supported! I'd been running Manjaro KDE the last time I had Linux installed on my desktop but I may give Debian a try this time around.

I'll take "Product Categories That SHOULD NEVER EXIST" for $1000 Alex!

I'm not gonna speak for Canonical but snaps enable commercial vendors to more readily ship their apps on the Ubuntu platform.

Humans are inherently evil. There is but a thin veneer we call "civilization" that stops of from beating each other to death with whatever object can be brought to hand.

And what does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China? :)

The Passion of Joan of Arc because if they don't like it I can harangue them mercilessly for having bad taste :)

I get it.

I don't love Snaps either.

However, a thing I try to remember and wish others would as well is simply this: Canonical is a company. Their goal is to make money. They are not out to create the ultimate free as in freedom Linux distribution.

This does (to my mind) not make them evil, and ESPECIALLY doesn't make the folks who work there evil. It makes them participants in the great horrible game that is Capitalism, and expecting anything else from them is going to lead to heartache, as you've seen.

If you want a Linux distro that shares your preferences and won't try to jam snaps down your throat, you might consider giving Debian a whirl as many others have.

Continuing to ride the Ubuntu train and raging against the dying of the light when it continues chugging in the direction it's been headed for YEARS seems ... futile :)
