  1. Re: Could Apt Package Manager Be Eventually Fased out of LTS Releases?

    @ ian-weisser

    I think it is more disappointment than hate. Most rely on the LTS releases these days. Ubuntu 22.04 was a train wreck of bugs on release, snaps, package management, NVIDIA issues,...

    Make Rhythmbox look more native.

    Happened to come across this and just thought I would share. Installing the rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar from the repos makes it look a lot better! Also, if you are using dark mode, the...

    Re: Debian 12

    I read and followed the documentation for nvidia drivers! In Ubuntu 22.04 kernel updates usually break the nvidia drivers. I installed a kernel update yesterday in Debian and the drivers were fine....

    I wonder if perhaps they skip point releases that address issues with other platforms that do not effect Linux users? Just guessing....

    I have done the net install on four systems now with no problems. The last install was the most interesting, it was on a Dell XPS 8940. I did the install using the Intel graphics and added an NVidia...

    If anyone prefers the way Ubuntu handles the dock, I used Dash to Dock and No overview at start-up. If you use the dark theme, Legacy (GTK3) Theme Auto Switcher will take care of the apps that have...

    Re: Debian 12

    The dash was something Ubuntu did right! Dash To Dock works fine on Debian but there was another dock extension I tried by accident, it didn't work so well, lol. I do wish it loaded like Ubuntu's...

    Re: WOW! Memory Usage Mint vs Ubuntu

    I have had both Ubuntu 22.04 and Mint Cinnamon 21.1 installed for a long time now. Using the exact same tweaks, I can get cinnamon down to about 650 MB of RAM at idle, about the same as XFCE. Ubuntu...

  20. Re: i dont get all the fuss about snaps, i think it's great!

    The software center in 22.04 was broken on release and still is. Running a command EVERY time the software center is updated is more than a minor bug!

  22. Re: i dont get all the fuss about snaps, i think it's great!

    Should we have two of every app just in case the new app is broken? It's a waste of space regardless of how much space you have. Every time the snap store is updated I have to run this in the command...
  23. Re: i dont get all the fuss about snaps, i think it's great!

    The fuss about snaps revolves around the issues they have! The snap store NEVER updates by itself on my system, always have to run commands to stop the service so it will finally update. I can not...
  24. Re: Snap is broken and it needs to be fixed

    Every time the "snap store" has an update I end up having to kill the process to be able to update it. After a year of running 22.04, I switched to Linux Mint. After being out for a year, I should...

    Re: What is going on with Ubuntu Cinnamon?

    I think TheFu summed things up pretty well. I figure if there is room for Ubuntu Mate and Linux Mint Mate, then there is room for Ubuntu Cinnamon and Linux Mint Cinnamon.
