While I don’t disagree with you, I think it’s a bit funny that you’re bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.

Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian of mint didn’t also work for you just as well though.
I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.
BSD is a solid second choice in my experience. For a while I was considering using it as my primary platform, but in the last 10 years all i’ve done at work is linux, so that tipped me into linux. I haven’t used BSD in a long time though, so my answers about what BSD has that linux does not have are outdated, as most of the things I loved on BSD are now found in some form on linux. Though I do love some of the CLI tools like diskutil
. In general though, I’ve always found the GNU core utils and the tooling in linux that follows the same patterns to be really user friendly. It also drives me crazy that common tools like awk, sed, date, etc. are inconsistent between BSD and GNU, and I prefer the GNU syntaxes. (Yes, you can install GNU core utils on BSD and other platforms, but that’s nonstandard, and why would I do that for daily driving when I can choose a platform that uses the GNU toolchain as the standard?)
Like @kata1yst@sh.itjust.works said, BSD brought a lot to the table in the last 20 years, zfs being a big one. FreeBSD 8 and 9 were the last BSDs I ran, and zfs was a big part of that. Once we got zfs on linux, I went back to full linux. dtrace
was also a huge one, and giving that up was hard, but now linux has strace
.
I’m just so over AIX, HPUX, and Solaris. I’m glad I got experience with them and less so a few others like irix and sys-v. Working with Sun hardware was particularly eye opening, like being able to hot swap processors and memory, things I had never imagined. But since about 2012 I have deliberately steered my career away from all unixes except linux, and waaaaaay away from anything windows related, going so far as to take everything windows related off my resumé.
Definitely me, despite of and because I have used so many other unixes.
I was going to say Image & Form, the makers of the Steamworld games, but they’ve been assimilated into Thunderful, so that’s my answer.
I have a really cute video of my 3 year old daughter chasing one of those through the mall.
I used to love trying every new Ubuntu release. Then snap came along. :( After 17 years of Ubuntu (6.04-23.10), with only a few years of centos in the middle, I switched back to Debian. I see this release is still all-on snap. Lame.
Don’t be discouraged. This may not have worked out like you hoped and planned, but keep doing awesome things. Somebody will love you for it and you’ll have a lot of fun.
I would love to have this for my smart tv remote that has dedicated buttons for subscription services I will never pay for. /me heads to thingiverse to search
I stared at it for like 3 minutes and suddenly it flipped and all made sense, like a proper optical illusion.

Haha, this proves that god is not a source of morality, and instead is a dictator. I’ve killed everybody I want to kill, which is nobody, even when god isn’t there to stop me.
If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and
dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY
where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.Honestly though, since it’s and ext filesystem, if it were me I’d just mount the source and dest and rsync.
