    If it works well for you, don’t switch. Many Linux users are against Snaps, because Canonical “forces” them on you and they tend to take up more space. Ubuntu has become the Nickelback of Linux distros. Yes, it’s not the best, but it’s also not terrible and still a good beginner distro. Stick with what you like.




  • For long term storage, I would recommend using “M-DISC”. I ran into this post on “all” and it has some overlaps with one of my areas of interest, data hoarding.

    Most storage media (HDD, SSD, USB, MicroSD) have a lifespan rating of about 10 years. This means that after 10 years you should not trust these media to keep your data intact. BluRay is a bit better at ~20 years.

    Like I mentioned, M-DISC would be your best best for long term storage. They are rated to last for 1300 years or so (which is obviously still untested haha). You can buy 250 GB of M-DISC storage for $40/€40.
