TIL that the directories that `snapd` binds are just hard-coded, right in the guts of the thing

@SnoopJ Ubuntu is a clowncar run by one of the tech shitheads born from the fall of apartheid and I don't understand why anyone uses it when Debian is right there and it's just a bad, corporatized & enshittified fork of Debian.

@dalias once upon a time I found it a more palatable option (perhaps because I was substantially more ignorant of Linux, and things were just generally worse then)

but I'm getting ready to switch to mainline Debian because I get the distinct feeling a lot of the "this is bullshit" behaviors on my system is the direct consequence of being downstream of their decisions

@dalias @SnoopJ As someone who did the switch, Debian is still clunky af.
Setting up the encrypted partition was a pain.

(No, I'm not going back to Ubuntu for exactly the reasons you describe.)

@forse @dalias @SnoopJ Did that with LMDE 7 (Debian 13 inside), and so far it's been great, and yet I have a very strange setup with multi-screens and non-conventional laptop (so I ran into issues, but mostly related to my setup, not Debian itself). What issues did you have with encrypted partitions?

@pierstoval @dalias @SnoopJ I ended up with having the same password for login and decryption and a file system that doesn't deal well with long file names.

I have limited energies to dedicate to this, and only one computer that I need to work, so my ability to play with this is limited.

Also, I can't seem to be able to set up the local formats and the system language to two different values, despite this being trivial in Ubuntu and Arch and despite spending significant time on the problem.

Still, my system works acceptably enough and I have more important things to stress about that configuring it.
