Yeah. The worst part is that things it’s supposed to protect against like applying a bad config doesn’t work half the time. I’ve run the test command before and it just buggered the box until I made a drive.
Oh yeah and they recently (at least witb Ubuntu) chnaged their default for DHCP from using a MAC address to a UUID for the dhcp identifier. Which is amazing if you use dhcp reservations because suddenly your box is just off on another IP.
Honestly, if Ubuntu hadn’t pushed snaps so damned hard, I’d probably still be running Ubuntu. I don’t hate them. But… They’re just obnoxious. Honestly, I wish Flatpaks and Appimages weren’t pushed so hard on other distros too. But, such is life.
Lynx doesn’t support Javascript. Links ( http://links.twibright.com/ ) is marginally more usable, but still has no Javascript, and I wouldn’t want it as a daily driver either. Text-mode browsers just can’t handle Web 2.0 (although, to be honest, I’m not that fond of Web 2.0).
vi, lynx, mutt, and of course X11 > wayland
though also controversially, I’ll take systemD over sysVinit
My distaste for systemd has been replaced by my distaste for netplan.
I hadn’t heard of it, so I looked it up, and…WTF? Systemd-networkd with extra steps? Systemd-networkd does not need extra steps!

This does not surprise me from a company that, well… * gestures distastefuly at snaps *

I quite like systemd and netplan. Though the latter I can live without.
Is lynx worth using? How does JavaScript work?

urxvt is also relevant for this combo.
