| schestowitz | <p>Ubuntu has also pushed for installing apps using their snap solution, often done without the user knowing that specific packages were installed this way rather than through the regular apt package manager mechanism. While they are still many derivatives based on Ubuntu, it’s not the only standard anymore and it has clearly lost its leadership. Gaming require fast moving updates and upgrades and a rolling | Apr 18 08:12 |
| schestowitz | distro is best suited for that, which is why the ProtonDB data shows that the Arch block (Arch Linux + Manjaro + other Arch derivatives) accounts for almost half of the distro share here, where they used to be at most 20% a few years back.</p> | Apr 18 08:12 |

| schestowitz | <p>That said, I’m not sure to what extent this will continue: even if the source code to Firefox and the tooling that supports it is technically “open source”, outsiders like myself really have very limited visibility into what Mozilla is doing these days. This makes it difficult to really connect with much of what’s going on or know how I might be able to contribute. While it might be | Apr 18 08:15 |
| schestowitz | theoretically possible to join Mozilla’s Slack (at least last I checked), that feels like a rabbit hole I’d prefer not to go down. While I’m still interested in supporting Mozilla’s mission, I really don’t want more than one workplace chat tool in my life: there’s a lot of content there that is no longer relevant to me as a non-employee and (being honest) I’d rather leave behind. There’s lots more I could say about this, but probably | Apr 18 08:15 |
