Hi folks,
how nice of you to post some more comments. Thanks a lot.
Yes, that´s clear, I think.
That was my initial goal, too.
Yet @Akito ´s words still ring in my ears:
I was thinking quite a lot about that.
@Akito is certainly right pointing out these considerations.
BTW:
In the meantime I recieved an answer to my query from Jerry Bezencon, the creator of Linux Lite (LinuxLite 6.0 snap-free? )
and I got the confirmation that Linux Lite 6.0 indeed is snap-free. .
I´m really considering it now.
Yes, quite so.
Aside from the fact it´s not that I don´t want to consider the alternatives. It´s rather that I need to take the data caps for my system setup into account.
Yes, that´s certainly a valid point.
That might very well be so.
Thanks a lot, Neville
Good to know.
And as far as I know (I´m not totally sure though) flatpaks won´t force updates on you.
Yes.
I guess that´s true for the official derivatives, like the ones you mentioned.
What a blessing then that the unofficial derivatives (like Mint, Linux Lite, Bodhi Linux …)
don´t follow that path.
Me too.
Right. That´s just the point.
Thanks a lot for your opinion (and also for the link).
Thanks to you as well.
In the meantime I have covered all the links you provided apart from the last one. The source (server?) was unavailable yesterday, at least during the time I tried it.
Will try it today.
Thanks so much.
Many greetings to all.
