“Neutral” is meant for the members of the oligarchy, not you and me.

Why are their question marks at the end of your sentences? Are you posing those questions to me? Are you trying to illustrate some sort of vocal inflection? If so, then that’s even more confusing.

It’s a well-known figure of speech.

There’s far better bourbon out there, seniors.

Recursion. Delicious.

but why

To explicitly piss off the distro purists and cultists.

Jk😅

Really, it’s because sometimes I like to run my experimental DNN applications on bare metal, and many of those containers use an Ubuntu base.

I’ve been daily driving Kubuntu LTS for 3 years now completely snap-free due to --minimal-install, and use Waterfox, a Firefox fork that doesn’t use snapd as far as I can see. snap-free *buntu is alive and well. It doesn’t take much effort.

@BlameTheAntifa, I disagree. To test your claim, I ran a search with admin privileges for snap and snapd on my Kubuntu LTS workstation, and there’s no trace of it.

Also, the following is from a query to Gemini Flash 2.5:

Kubuntu’s minimal install, especially in version 24.04 and later, generally does not install any Snap packages and often leaves out the snapd service by default, resulting in a snap-free system. Be cautious, as installing certain common applications like Firefox from the default repositories may still pull in snapd as a dependency.

Kubuntu LTS gang, rise up!

Barbarians.

ls -la, for civilized people.

Money’s on “nah, of course not.”

Kubuntu LTS works pretty damn near out-of-the-box as well.

The use case is precision CAD and DNN development.

cuDNN+CUDA+TensorCores have the best TOPS/$/kWh performance (for now). Plus, I need ECC VRAM for professional CAD calculations.

There’s plenty of reasons to use an NVIDIA stack.

It’s just weird when people say there’s no reason to use their products.

Relevant.

Hermano, nací en Estados Unidos. A pesar de que se dice que los estadounidenses solo sabemos inglés (y mis padres son de la India), saber hablar un poco de español es bastante útil.

Además, el OP publicó en castellano. Por lo tanto, me pareció pertinente y cortés comentar al respecto.

Networking noob here; what, pray tell, is HPE iLO4… or do I want to even know?

Edit: Never mind. Found it. HP… shudders

What other than what you just said are you “just saying”?
