I know I #complain about this often, but #ubuntu becomes less and less #stable every time I use it. A #desktop not being #upgraded should just run indefinitely, yet the other day mine #crashed for no apparent reason. I doubt it is the #hardware because I see the same lack of #stability in other machines also running #ubuntu . #ubuntu is a blite on #linux .
#ubuntu #snap #updates are a #killer #feature - by which I mean, they are goign to #kill #ubuntu https://smaller.fish/posts/snap_updates You get tonnes of #notifications , you finally take #notice and #shutdown the #app , and it *still doesn't #update after.* It happens *only* on a #schedule , which will always be at the *worst* time. How can you possible use #ubuntu #snap on any long-running task? I am switching #os because of this #feature , it is a #darkpattern .
Thank god, we can finally #disable #snaps in #ubuntu , after this *shite* was #forced on us: https://merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2022-1.. I really hate that #ubuntu #developers assume they know better than #linux #developers , despite #linux already having a massive #barrier to entry.
In a strange twist, it might be #ubuntu that end up making a #linux #desktop for #mobile #phones https://tuxphones.com/gnome-shell-43-lin.. In all honesty it would be shite though, the #gnome #js #engine is crap.
Weird, my #ubuntu #wifi completely shit itself for no reason at all. I wonder whether there isn't some #bug in the #hardware or #driver ? After turning it off and back on, it appears to have come back? Still need some #dns though ...
Looking to use #konqueror instead of #nemo or #nautils in #ubuntu as it is *supposed* to have #session #management for #open #tabs . If this shit will #crash , the least it can do is #resume the previous #state !
#ubuntu #filemanager for both #nautils and #nemo #forget #tabs on #crash , and given how #unstable this shitty #os is, means you lose all the #tabs you have #open every time it #crashes . It's 2020 and we still don't have a #filebrowser than can #remember #tabs , #load #large #directories with any kind of #speed or #preview #files without using up #gigabytes of #disk #space without any sane #cache #policy . Actual insanity.
#ubuntu as #unreliable as ever, this time a complete #lockup needing a #forced #reboot ... Checking the #syslog - apparently it happened for no reason at all... Thanks #ubuntu !
#fuck #ubuntu - the *same* #gnome #js (yes this shit uses #javascript !) #bug from *years* ago... #infinite #logging to the #disk until it #crashes or #fills it... It shouldn't be this tough to #decorate #xserver #windows ! These same people say that #wayland is the future when they can't figure out how to #paint a #border without it losing its shit.
Interesting, #popos may soon switch to using #kde instead of #gnome - perhaps a general switch away from #ubuntu in general: https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments.. The #reddit #comments are pretty funny, claiming it might be called " #kpopos " and instead of getting an #lts #release - it might be a #bts release!
Bloody #ubuntu now #incapable of #mounting an #encrypted #drive with #write #access - how hard can it be to just #maintain a #stable #os ? I have a #workaround for now by #manually mounting the #drive https://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mo.. Every time I #upgrade #ubuntu it becomes slightly more #broken ...
#upgraded my #ubuntu #machine earlier, mostly went well. One thing that did go wrong was #virtualbox was unable to install the #extensionpack (but I was able to correct this post #install ) and then #vlc #corrupted its settings, so I had to #reset the #preferences ... Anyway, there is always *some* kind of #issue in these things, but at least I was actually able to #boot my #machine this time.
Interesting push by #ubuntu to create #ubuntuframe - a #display #server for #embedded #linux #devices https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/713b9224-Ub.. Personally I think people are way better off with something else, even writing directly to the #framebuffer ...
Fucking #ubuntu #unity is #crashing again - I am sick as hell of this #javascript based #windowmanager screwing with everything. I'm sick of everything being #installed with #snap - it's just one thing after another. Now I can't #suspend and the system isn't even stable enough to not #crash even in that case. What a piece of crap.
I'm starting to think my #ubuntu install is now just completely fucked... I've got some pretty bad #ram #leaks going on and things are working less and less efficiently. #akregator and #thunderbird continue to behave screwy. This machine desperately needs to be replaced. I need to get on with developing the #chunkboipro
Currently trying to get the #pine #pinetab up and running with a #usb #wifi #dongle ... #ubuntu isn't playing ball so far. I get nothing but issues with this device, I don't know why. I will try with my custom version of #archlinux soon.
