at least you could keep their reviews so users could at least know if the app can be trusted.

You mean, don’t trust a flatpak uploaded by a random person, but if there are enough fake reviews, it can be trusted?

There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term

where they will double your monthly data limit for free when you comment your order number.

where they use you to spam the forum thread (for giving away something rarely anyone has any use for)

I still think Ubuntu is the best option (particularly if you want to use the non-LTS releases)

Having said that I do hate snaps and also dislike flatpaks. So what I do is just use the Firefox deb package from the PPA and the chromium package from Linux Mint. Oh, and I have actually replaced ubuntu-advantage-tools with a no-op dummy package.

And mainline Linux and a Linux Desktop is still struggling today with power management. Like getting chat messages while it’s asleep.

And the really sad thing is that the power management improvements devs have been working on for the PinePhone are really very specific to that particular device and don’t help mobile Linux in general (so it’s basically wasted effort).

Jed when you want a simple, Emacs-like editor.

At least for memory usage the hypervisor wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between memory merely used as cache vs. memory actually used by the software running on the machine (and OSes will usually just use any otherwise unused memory as cache, so you will likely see some inflated memory usage)

How do they actually get that information (particularly memory utilization)? Do they rely on their agent that’s pre-installed (but can be uninstalled)? At least in their web interface it doesn’t show any of that utilization for my instances (one is Ubuntu with their agent uninstalled and the other one is NetBSD).

There is also Roundup Issue Tracker

Been using phpwiki for the past 20 years or so.

You can sue anyone for anything, but no one is advertising any guaranteed speeds for mobile broadband, so your chances will be fairly limited. Best you can do is withdrawing from your contract.

If you really think about it, caps on mobile data are also fairly stupid

Mobile is a shared medium and can only support a certain amount of bandwidth per phone mast (in a certain area). A mobile phone network heavily relies on most users not using their data plans most of the time.

And depending where you live that might or might not work out well for you. If too many people in your neighbourhood use too much mobile data at the same time as you, speeds will decrease and unlimited data plans in particular will be throttled.

“they put ads in the terminal” isn’t really accurate.

Their “ubuntu-advantage-tools” adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing “ubuntu-advantage-tools”. It’s definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.
