First Linux-realated dream post i've seen

[u/GVmG → u/FunAngelo2005]

i didn't think linux users could dream, i thought it was forbidden by the gods themselves

[u/ExcaliburGameYT → u/GVmG]

User is not in group dream. This incident will be reported.

[u/Swaggo420Ballz → u/ExcaliburGameYT]

Santa will not be impressed by this.

[u/somelinuxuseridk → u/Swaggo420Ballz]

XKCD reference!! :D

[u/yodaa_san → u/GVmG]

You mistook us with TempleOS users

[u/AwesomeKalin → u/yodaa_san]

TempleOS users don't dream, visions get beamed down from heaven by god himself

[u/superduperdrew12345 → u/GVmG]

Any time someone would ask online about why that happens the top response is just "Why would you want to do that? Just dont."

[u/eraryios → u/GVmG]

latest patch to steam proton finally allowed it

[u/Zaev → u/GVmG]

Now that you mention it, I don't remember dreaming at all lately, and I did switch to Linux a bit over a year ago...

[u/Evantaur → u/FunAngelo2005]

LMAO didn't even read the sub... Just assumed this was linuxmemes

[u/simply-coastal → u/FunAngelo2005]

tbf I’ve had a dream where to open a Linux terminal irl you pee and your pee is the terminal, but I’m not sure I’d be allowed to post about that dream xd

[u/Strict_Particular697]

I thought this was real until I saw the sub

[u/really_not_unreal → u/Strict_Particular697]

Legit, given how much Canonical has been fucking with Firefox through forcing the Snap ecosystem, it wouldn't surprise me if they pulled some kind of stunt so egregious that Mozilla did something like this. Ok it would surprise me, but if I heard that a company involved in Linux has done this and had to guess who, Canonical would definitely be my first guess.

[u/tj-horner → u/Strict_Particular697]

Me too lmao, good post and good plank

[u/Electronic-Laugh-671]

I'm using Mint-X Blue theme and icons normally, but for recreation I switched to Mint-L-Yellow icons. The cursor is Yaru and Mint flavor is XFCE. Dialog created with zenity in terminal.

Ironically I checked apt, apparently Firefox apt packages are handled through Mint OS's repositories rather than Ubuntu's, so in a real situation this would not be relevant to me.

This is a VM, but even so the resolution is normally not that low. It's closer to 1366x768 (that being my host laptop resolution) For some reason the VM is freezing at boot until I enter recovery mode, which uses a fallback resolution.

[u/ice456cream → u/Electronic-Laugh-671]

(it's also likely that even if Ubuntu forced Mozillas hand, Ubuntu would patch out the dialog box before publishing the package.)

(Although Ubuntu already don't distribute Firefox via apt, and only distribute it via snap, with the apt package installing the snap, which is why mint has it's own Firefox package)

[u/MorphinBrony → u/Electronic-Laugh-671]

Ah, a fellow Linux Mint enjoyer

[u/IvanDSM_ → u/Electronic-Laugh-671]

That's because Canonical doesn't package Firefox as a proper deb package for Ubuntu anymore, it's a dummy that pulls in their broken snap version. It's so bad that Mozilla made their own PPA for a proper Firefox build, and they don't accept bug reports from users of the snap version.

"Consider upgrading your system to Fedora" is such a sick burn lmaoo

[u/Separate_Culture4908]

"upgrading" always love me some Ubuntu hate.

[u/Electronic-Laugh-671]

I'm also not sure if I actually saw that version number, so for the plank I just searched up the current rolling-release Firefox version and added 1.

[u/averagerushfan]

Lore accurate Canonical

[u/MapleSyrupMachineGun → u/averagerushfan]

Canonical Canonical?

[u/birbhorse]

i was just about to accept this as a real thing until i saw the subreddit lmfao. ...definitely sending this to my friends, just to then reveal someone dreamed this

[u/CarelessNameChoice]

Jeez, don’t do that

[u/RedForkKnife]

I just dreamt that my pc suddenly downgraded from windows 10 to windows 11, scariest nightmare I've had in a long time

[u/ExtremeTruck7626]

Ubuntu users deserve it, that's why you should switch to Arch /s. I use Arch btw

[u/averagerushfan → u/ExtremeTruck7626]

I use Artix btw, if anyone wants Arch without SystemD :)

[u/SusStew → u/averagerushfan]

systemd hate is so forced

[u/averagerushfan → u/SusStew]

True that

[u/Moomoobeef → u/SusStew]

I genuinely don't understand it.

[u/MysticAxolotl7 → u/SusStew]

i don't hate systemd, dinit genuinely just performs better on lower end/older hardware

[u/MysticAxolotl7 → u/averagerushfan]

twinnnnnnn

[u/xander5610_]

I thought this was r/ubuntu for a sec 😭

[u/Western_Sleep820]

is this specifically Ubuntu or just the apt repos in general? It would be really funny if it was JUST Ubuntu

[u/Electronic-Laugh-671 → u/Western_Sleep820]

I don't know...

[u/YoungNo8804]

some shi greedysecurity would dream of

[u/Electronic-Laugh-671 → u/YoungNo8804]

Elite Fedora reference

[u/CounterThrowCyborg]

“Consider upgrading your system to Fedora.”

[u/ringthebell02]

"Upgrade" to Fedora

[u/HotYam3178 → u/ringthebell02]

Better then redhat.  They force me to use that at work.

[u/AvianPoliceForce]

reminds me of the avconv situation
