    why don't i just buy a computer that does what i want

    A computer is a universal machine. It can do a thousand different things,
    with the right programming. Why limit yourself to a product that does only
    what the vendor wants it to do?

    My Fedora 40 bix git 6.11.3 yesterday. I haven't rebooted in 30 days so
    I'm still at 6.10.9. One of these days I'll get around to it.

    Although to be fair, I spent yesterday at my Mum's and tried to scrap
    her old Windows 10 PC for a new windows 11 PC. I've never used a Windows
    11 PC. I lost the will to live, when the log on process demanded a PIN
    and a Microsoft account, no way could she understand that with her
    dementia.

    I don't know if they plugged the loophole but previously if it wasn't
    connected to the internet you could create a local user and go on with the install.

    I'm using Kubuntu 24.04 myself and it is a very polished distribution.
    If you hate Snap so much, enable Flatpak and move on. For my tastes,
    Snap is quite fine.

    I've got a few snaps but Brave and Firefox are the two I notice because of
    the warning to update. Others line Dbeaver or nmap that aren't always open quitely get updated.

    Oddly Brave is a flatpak on the Fedora machine but Firefox isn't.
