Staying on #Ubuntu LTS (16.04) has been kinda weird.

It is possible in prior LTS cycles I wasn't as experimental or something, but I am getting phased out of support for a lot of projects I want to use.

This is my issue with a lot of #jabber clients, and then just a bunch of random projects.

I have three apps installed via snap, but even that has been touch and go.

Did something major change midway through this cycle that broke distribution? Did a bunch of new tools come out suddenly?

Ehh, #Ubuntu seems less and less stable with time -- more and more weird crashes and hangups. Ubuntu, you used to be cool!

Anyway, looking for a rock-solid, stable, but not ancient (yes, we do use Debian... on the servers) #GNU / #Linux distribution for non-techies.

Suggestions welcome!

Reading a review of #Parabola at http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20170911#parabola, and realized that I don't actually know if my kernel in #Ubuntu #Gnome loads code for which there is no source. And I am sure that my #XPS13 has some binary driver blob fuckery going on.

@tomasino Whatcha think of #snap? I use it on servers and for a few local packages, so far so good.

But I run relatively mainline #Ubuntu. What was the issue with snap in #Mint?

#mozilla is repeating some of the mistakes of #ubuntu by adding blobs ("goodies") and spying by default. Why? Also attacked free speech.
