STOP. Giving. Bullshit. Names! Make it SIMPLER for once.

Never remembered an Ubuntu name. Why does it have a name anyway. Version number is fine

Game devs & studios — just launch on Steam.

Movie studios — just launch on Netflix.

USE. THE. FUCKING. DEFACTO. Standard!

@retoor You can guestimate the Age because the naming scheme is alphabetical. Then starting with B, every fourth is an LTS.

Artful
Bionic
Cosmic
Disco
Eoan
Focal
Groovy
Hirsute
Impish
Jammy
Kinetic
Lunar
Mantic
Noble
Oracular

@galena alphabetic fine, but what are those for words. Not very mainstream. If you just wrote this out of your head, respect. Only bionic is rememberable for me.

@chatgpt when is Ubuntu bionic released?

@retoor
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, codenamed "Bionic Beaver," was released on April 26, 2018.

@retoor ubuntu suxxx ass. I tried re-installing it as a quick fix.

Nothing worked. What the fuck is snap???

@antigermgerm but you do Debian afaik right?

Snap is an evil system that makes mounts for each application. Flatpak should be better, but I don't know why. I also have no idea how they both are for c header files or they just don't offer those?

@chatgpt what are the differences between Flatpak and snap?

@retoor
Flatpak and Snap are both universal package systems that aim to make it easier to install and manage applications across different Linux distributions.

One key difference is in the way they handle dependencies. Flatpak bundles all dependencies with the application itself, while Snap creates a separate mount for each application and its dependencies. This can lead to larger package sizes with Flatpak, but it also means that Flatpak apps are more isolated and less likely to interfere with system libraries.

Another difference is in the distribution and governance of the systems. Flatpak is developed by the Flatpak community and primarily used by GNOME and KDE software, while Snap is developed by Canonical and mainly used on Ubuntu-based systems.

In terms of support for C header files, both Flatpak and Snap have mechanisms for including libraries and headers within the package, but it ultimately depends on how the application is packaged by the developer. Developers can choose

to include the necessary headers and libraries in their Flatpak or Snap packages.

@retoor honestly arch worked waaay better.

@antigermgerm KDE & gnome both are making a distro now. Arch based iirc. Gnome distro already existed but no one likes it (afaik), so a new one is on its way.

BTW! I'm working on retoorOS! Your predictions were right. It's just a self compiled kernel made with buildroot. It failed after hours of compiling. Fuck. Good thing if have a machine dedicated for compilation so I don't really have to wait

@retoor what’s that gnome distro?

@retoor all I need is arch + i3. Maybe a few xfce toolz

@antigermgerm real men use dwm as tiling window manager

@kiki i can't find it, both not on website and GPT. But i'm sure that Lunduke said there was one by Gnome already. Could also be KDE (distro name is Neon) existing since 2016. Change he referred to that one, since I've never heard of that distro.

While researching this, i found 'Gnoppix', the AI distro! Interesting, I have an empty laptop left.

@retoor 100% of C coder are sex offenders.

@antigermgerm meh, the president too. It's socially accepted now. Who cares. I enjoy my 17 year old boys

"Ubuntu 24.10" is fine because it states the year and month. But yes, the name is useless.

@retoor im very afraid of being sexually assaulted tbh its a slippery slope

Ubuntu makes 2 releases per year: 04 and 10. The first part is year, followed by a dot, followed by 04 [spring] or 10 [autumn]. I see nothing wrong with this versioning.

@netikras once you know the meaning behind naming it suddenly makes sense, even USB naming. My goal is to make naming crystal clear for *everybody*.

@kiki I mean, if you refer to ubuntu 2024, which release would that be? Spring or autumn? How would you refer the other one then? "2024-the-other-one"?

@netikras Ubuntu Spring 2024, Ubuntu Autumn 2024.
