From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's because the latest version of the software has some incompatibility with the distro that the distro devs can't be arsed to fix.

You are using a stable release distro (like ubuntu) and expecting it to act like a rolling release and then get surprised when it doesn't act like one. Again, if you don't know what you're doing and your tools, it ain't the tool's fault if shit ain't working the way you expect it to.

If you're not aware of how often this happens then YOU are the one that clearly doesn't actually use Linux on a daily basis.

I have been using Linux on a daily basis for years, from mint to arch, and I can tell you haven't, or more likely haven't looked up how ot works, by how easily resolved the problems you mentioned would be of you just took the time to Google and inform yourself a bit on the tool you want to use.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU ILLITERATE COW-FELLATER?

You're the one here who keeps saying Linux sucks because of an Ubuntu-only problem and then complaining about it when people rightly inform you that you can always choose another option that doesn't have the problem or do things differently to achieve the same result.

completely reinstall your entire system because one fucking dev doesn't like having to deal with users installing .deb files.

Takes 15 minutes or less. And if you don't want to do that you can do something else like flatpaks, learning how to do what you're trying to do with the terminal or another way. You have plenty of choice, you just need to stop baby raging, Google a bit and fox your issue.

Says you, and who the fuck are you besides nobody?

I can say the exact same response to you saying the Mint repos are small. I am someone who used mint for about 2 years before switching off of it and know people who have used it for as long as it exists and never had to install programs that weren't some very uncommon/specialized ones from outside the package manager.

Again, a cunt blaming the user for a distro removing options

The distro removing an option is shitty but if you don't want to switch to a different distro or do the necessary work to fix it then it is your fault when the problem isn't magically fixed. This isn't proprietary shit, you don't have to beg the company overlord to fix it for you (if they want). Open the browser, look for a solution to your problem that you like, and solve the issue.
