      have they actually removed the ability to install debs via the GUI? this is bananas, easily the most user hostile thing I have seen in an ubuntu install

        @jcoglan I can open them. But also I generally do dpkg -i file.deb instead.

          @jcoglan ubuntu jumped the shark quite a while ago, tbh, with the whole "ubuntu pro" thing. it still has a place in my heart, but.

          i've been on debian trixie since the summer and it's remarkably nice. similar stable release schedule as lts ubuntu now (every 2 years). fedora is also fine if you want bi-annual.
