Platform Development • Re: Future of GTK2 and Pale Moon

Ubuntu LTS would very much interest me if not for my attitudes towards Canonical and my impression that it would require a good deal of purging to remove any trace of the Snap Store, Flathub etc from my system if I were to use it.

I don't actually use Ubuntu for my desktop. I really strongly dislike Gnome for any productivity tasks. But as a free, super longterm support distro for setting up a build environment in a VM and leaving it as-is for a decade or longer? For sure I'm going to want to use it. And if I wanted a super longterm stable VM for doing my NPAPI stuff inside - I absolutely would use it. Set it and forget it.
