I used to use flatpak for everything, but I just dont have the hard drive space to store duplicates of my graphics drivers.
I write Linux guides, act and sing!
And do tech stuff.
And am weak.
And am a stereotypical nerd in almost every way.

B-but I don’t play an instrument, so it TOTALLY doesn’t count!

Good post, but dear god the text colors make my eyes hurt.
My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.
It’s the little things. One of my biggest gripes is that EVERY TIME you run apt update, it shoves an add for Ubuntu pro at the bottom of tge output, which shoves all the info I actually care about offscreen. Pure bullshit. It sounds small, but when I need to check which packages are getting updated, it makes my life a bit more inconvenient. And I do most things through CLI, so I see this a lot.
Shit like that has been my entire experience with Ubuntu. I deeply regret switching to it, and I’m switching off as soon as I can get another hard drive to swap in.
Last I recall, my drivers for Flatpak took up an extra 20 gigs of my 256 gig hard drive.
