Will you de-Snap (K)Ubuntu 24.04?

[rec9140]

I mostly agree with you, but I think and hope when (K)ubuntu 26.04 comes out (and Snaps aside) Wayland could be ready for my purposes.

Wayturkey is like gnome or xfce in my view... if it works for you great... just leave me out it! wayturkey does not.. Why?

ssh -XCl me myserver

Thats the way I've run things for decades.. decades longer than many of the people who are the wayturkey cheerleaders have been alive actually.

And NO VNC, or rdp (seriously a m$ protocol! c'mon man! ) etc. are not options when the OS has the facilities built in. VNC has its place, and I used it in the past, and I will will use krfb/krdc for a few things, but overwhelmingly its remote X11. Even for full desktops I use remote X11 via XDMCP etc... the few things I do via krfb/krdc... is actually things that have not been moved to XRPA, which will happen with some consolidation of some things...

I've used things this way so long, change ain't happening here!

I am just not interested in a change like this... I've had pulseaudio, systemd shoved down my throat and this is just another move like that.. nope.

I've got a very nasty view of this and snaps... Just not interested....

Ever thought about Debian?
In contrary to *Ubuntu/Canonical they still support 32-bit in their current release: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd.../i386/iso-dvd/

I've thought about it for many things.. not just 32b... in actually backing up from Kubuntu with all the stuff that has to be de snapp'd, changes that I have to make which are just basic things like conforming to UNIX/Linux clicking, ie: one click. Again, this is the way. And its the way thats been done that way again long before most of them were alive.

BUT..

Some one around here did a thread on taking stock Debian and making it basically into Kubutnu.. and that was a mess in and of itself... suffice it to say that theres a lot of differences between Debian land and *buntu Land which make doing this not an especially appealing journey.... the last few 32b systems I have all run mission critical (yes I know) operations which are not going to be touched. period. It ain't broke, I ain't fixing it! Maybe in the future for my last few builds they will get rolled into a ProxMox/Unraid setup... that all is determined at least in part for one in USB pass through as I need some very specific USB hardware passed into the any VM to run the software.

I have installed Kubuntu 24.04 LTS with Snap (active by default). No great problems until now.
