  1. Re: My 20.04 LTS is rock solid. Should I go to 22.04 LTS just for the bells & whistle

    Frankly, this is bad, scary advice. It's one thing to say: "sign up for Pro for another 5 years of support and stick with what is stable", which is good advice.

    But ignoring EoL is not only...

    Re: Ubuntu vs. Lubuntu vs. Chrome OS Flex

    It's not ideal, but IIRC a USB-C to HDMI cable/dongle will give you screen mirroring. You will get the big black bands vertically or horizontally (it's outright mirroring after all), but I find that...

    Re: Ubuntu vs. Lubuntu vs. Chrome OS Flex

    When I started over a decade ago, Lubuntu was lean and mean. It has since suffered from the same bloat that is now prevalent everywhere in computing‑land.

    It's important to note that sloth‑like...

    Re: CF-953AX adapter(mt7921u) disappeared

    According to the following post, you can run this adapter in 22.04 (which I would recommend over 23.10). Even the 5.19 kernel will work. You do not need anything newer. However, you do need to add...

    [ubuntu] Re: IP is infected with malware

    There is one further exposure that you should look into:

    You've stated that you have checked out your laptop and are satisfied that it is clean, but what about your phone?

    This means that your IP address will switch multiple times a day. When cell phones switch towers, the IP address will frequently switch as well if no data is being exchanged. This is just the way the...

    Re: New to Linux and Ubuntu

    A standard install (or upgrade) of Jammy (22.04) does not involve github. The fact that you are getting a github message tells me that you have customized...

  23. Re: Xbox series X|S controller won't connect via USB (or Bluetooth) on Ubuntu 23.10

    Why do you have to run 23.10? Most users (including yours truly) stick with LTS releases for the added stability and to avoid precisely the problems that you are running into.

    If the previous LTS...
