Discovered that my #Kubuntu laptop was still on version 20.04 LTS. I’m currently running the updater to bring it up to 22.04 LTS.

I’m tempted to reinstall it with #Devuan, but I will wait to see what #Ubuntu has done to it first.

I had an opportunity to look for #Tenacity in both #Devuan and #Ubuntu / #Kubuntu ... not there yet. I still see #Audacity, and wonder now whether it contains some of the user-hostile changes that led to Tenacity and #Saucedacity forking in the first place.

My main laptop is running Kubuntu 20.04, but rather than upgrade to 22.04, I think I want to wipe it and install the latest Devuan instead. I want to default to #Devuan, with an occasional #Debian (or #Ubuntu family, or #Linux_Mint) then use other distros on an as needed basis.

I have one computer at home that runs #NixOS and one that runs #OpenSuse. I'm likely to keep the SuSE machine running that software, but NixOS is too different and too bleeding edge for someone who regularly leaves home for a year.

If you're on #Windows, the current version of #Zeal is in Chocolatey.

Zeal is in the official repos for #Debian and #Ubuntu derived distros and also for #Fedora, #Gentoo, #openSuSE.

Seems like there is something screwy with #galera and #mariadb on #centos 7. It works great on #ubuntu.

Maybe something in the name resolution stack? It just won't keep 3 nodes in a cluster. so weird.

I'm buying a Dell XP 13 9310 and it's certified to work with pre-installed Ubuntu. My market's Dell and especially my local chain store won't offer the pre-installed Linux option.

I'm not sure what I'm missing if I run a standard Ubuntu, but:

- www.dell.com/support/home/en-h… seems to offer an ISO for the OEM Ubuntu, if you provide your Service Tag (why??).
- Someone on the support forum says they bought it with Windows, but their Grub screenshot shows the OEM Linux version, so there is a way.
- The certification exists in four versions and two of them mention the touch screen, so I guess it's worth buying the touchscreen version. certification.ubuntu.com/hardw…
- No wait, I thought the price difference for touch was small, but that's because the spec for the touch model has half the SSD and RAM. Never mind then.

It's an expensive one, but I expect to be using it for 8 years like we have with our 2013 MacBook, which is still the strongest computer in the household.

Is it me, or is #Ubuntu updating the kernel about three times per week? It feels like #WinXP before SP2 and the adoption of Patch Tuesday.

Today: Update and reboot.

Two days later: Update and reboot.

Two or three days after that: Update and reboot.

Angry Sheep Blog > Rants > #Canonical, #Ubuntu, #Kubuntu https://nu.federati.net/url/279209 [rejzor wordpress com]

Applies equally to #Xubuntu, #Lubuntu, etc.

Yes, I can see this being annoying. #Fedora hides the non-Gnome versions, so that most people get GNOME. Since I've hated the look and feel of GNOME ever since I first encountered it, I always look for KDE or other alternative desktops.

  Hey Canonical, why such hard separation of Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
  
  By RejZoR from Angry Sheep Blog
  
  I’ve always been a Windows guy, but had a soft spot for Linux because it’s a viable alternative that has come a long way. And it’s perfectly free. And Ubuntu is probably a front runner here, being one of the most popular distros in existence today, excluding Android.
  
  What is strange to me however is the whole Ubuntu and Kubuntu deal. And it’s a bit baffling actually. Debian is probably the most widely used Linux foundation and Ubuntu is the most popular distro within Debian family. But the desktop (interface) Ubuntu is running is such absolute trash that should be exterminated with orbital nukes.
  
  It just wastes so much screen estate and is so incredibly clumsy for multitasking I have no idea how it can be a thing people actually use. It’s so incredibly bad, for real.
  
  And here is the funny part. Till just few days ago I thought Kubuntu was a 3rd party fork of Ubuntu with KDE desktop instead of Gnome and I was generally avoiding it because I don’t like micro distros that are a fork of a fork of a fork etc. They tend to have crappy support and as a result crappy general experience. What I didn’t know is that Kubuntu is actually Canonical’s (makers of Ubuntu!) own fork of Ubuntu! The very maker of Ubuntu is the maker of Kubuntu as well!
  
  That’s right. They get new releases at the exact same time, Ubuntu and Kubuntu are identical down to very last bit, except the desktop interface on top. Ubuntu runs Gnome and Kubuntu runs KDE.
  
  I just don’t understand why Canonical is doing this extreme separation of both to a point people might think they are entirely different distros like I have. I just can’t understand why Canonical doesn’t list Ubuntu and Kubuntu on same webpage and just gives users option to pick between both types of desktop interfaces on same page instead of running two ENTIRELY separate entities on entirely separate webpages that hardly mention they are actually “sibling” distros and not “cousin” distros. And also making it ubundantly clear (see what I did there? 😉 ) that they are the same thing everywhere, so people know it right away instead of having to dig out this information across various Wiki pages. Coz only identification of them being related is mention of Canonical at the bottom of Kubuntu webpage. Something anyone can so easily miss.
  
  It’s really a shame because Ubuntu is super popular and a great foundation, but Kubuntu is just a better experience thanks to KDE. It’s just weird why Canonical is pushing Kubuntu on the side when it’s actually a much better version of Ubuntu. Without any downsides of being a 3rd party fork of Ubuntu like many others…
  
  Come on Canonical, give Kubuntu same love and endorse it more. A lot of other distros like Manjaro offer choice of Gnome or KDE on same webpage and you just pick whatever you like the most. Where with Ubuntu and Kubuntu, they are separated so hard you can’t even know they are related without doing some extensive info digging.
  
  Is it really so hard to add “Don’t like the Gnome desktop interface? Here is our Ubuntu alternative named Kubuntu. Same thing, different interface”. And just point the link to Kubuntu page. Then do the same on Kubuntu webpage, just for Ubuntu. And make it clear they are sibling distros. It would greatly help the popularity instead of people who dislike moronic Gnome just turning away entirely. Like I have for so many years…
  
  Ubuntu (Gnome desktop) – ubuntu.com
  
  Kubuntu (KDE desktop) – kubuntu.org
