Ubuntu Budgie vs Solus?

tomscharbach but Snaps still suck . In all seriousness, Mozilla and Canonical have done a lot of work to make Firefox snap better, and it shows. Hopefully all Snaps will continue to improve, but for now I'll choose native, Flatpak, or source.

Brucehankins On the bright side though, I agree with tomscharbach that UB is a great implementation.

that makes three of us then. this is like rediscovering budgie in some ways before it became hobbled.
Why can't solus budgie alleviate its problems by making Nemo the default and doing whatever ubuntu is doing to ensure complete icon desltop freedom? I did snap list last night and no file manager or desktop elements were snaps programs. I know there's an answer to that question but I forgot it.

Brucehankins Glad you like it, hopefully you don't get so comfy you want to switch permanently .

this will always be linux home to me but now that you said that

tomscharbach because Snaps facilitate Canonical's objectives. My view, anyway.

I didn't know it was such a large corporation. things like that always have a mindset and a clear set of objectives to will peruse their parent site.

what password manager do you use? there's an incredible amount of wild looking ones.

I had to go outside the repo to get deb chromium and firefox. I'm trying to keep it all like you said it there^

brent I use the free version of Bitwarden. It's open-source and suits my needs just fine. It also has browser extensions for all the browsers I use and the mobile app isn't terrible.
Never got into the whole "hosting your own" thing, but there are some cool looking ones out there.

it depends on cinnamon components

tomscharbach I don't know why Solus sticks with Nautilus.

There has been on-and-off discussion for years on this and it, iirc, boils down to it's actually not trivial to package because of the things that Nemo depends on and how they all work.

it occurred to me after spitballin that the things that plague nautilus now would do the same to nemo

As far as I understand, Nemo has been developed separately from Nautilus for many years now. It may have started out as a fork, but I think it's become its own thing over the years.
