<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Well that was clever. I saw the "login to post" note below, so tried to, and waddya know, it posted my half finished post. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To continue, I would prefer at least the option of being able to select what gets installed. I don't use many programs. Browser, email, office suite, spotify, couple of other bits and pieces but that's about it. I don't need five browsers and three email programs and four music players. I don't need a paint program. Please, let me choose what to install. The alternative is to spend hours getting rid of everything I don't want, and yes, sometimes deleting things that stop other things that I do want from working. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm not particularly technical, I'm more of your bog standard end user. For the record I like Discover. It suits me fine. I will use a GUI, if there is one, over the command line, but happy to use the command line as well. I like flatpaks, they make a lot of sense to me, especially when used in conjunction with an "immutable" distro. I like the idea of an immutable distro and have experimented with a couple. I never found a need to layer anything into the base system though, and don't really understand why anybody would want to, but I'm assuming there must be important use cases of which I am blissfully unaware. I will use an appimage if there is no flatpak. I won't use a snap. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just my two cents worth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the things I don't like about linuxes is the "everything is included" concept. I don't need every language installed. I only speak one, English, so everything else is waste of space. I don't need ten thousand fonts. I don't need every single Plasma app. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
