Good advice, thanks much.

Could someone tell me (or point to) info on how to deal with upgrades on the new Dell Sputnik laptop?
When 18.04 comes out can you upgrade or reinstall as usual, or must you use an image from Dell? ...

That's right, I have read that other distros have the same problem, no rot and only one speaker.
Rotation isn't a problem because you can do it with a few clicks in display settings and there are...

I usually stick to LTS Ubuntu, but for a new laptop running 16.04, I was forced to install a mainline kernel, 4.9.0 to get hardware support.
This kernel will not show up in a distro for awhile, but...

I assume that you are using the newest spectre with kaby lake. I got one and still cannot get the top speakers or the rotation sensor to work.
Just wanted to mention that I am using 16.04 with 4.9...

I'm thinking about getting one of these. The new one looks like a nice package.
Are there any updates or another thread somewhere?

Update; I got one, running 16.04 with the 4.9 kernel. Pretty...

Right after I first tried Windows Vista.
Many thanks to all devs and community.):P

My biggest hang is that National Instruments won't do NIDAQ or labview for ubuntu, only fedora.
Otherwise, ubuntu for work and play since hardy except for some android till we see tablets around...

I switched to ubuntu when vista came out. I think that history will show that the best windows release was windows9.
Kudos to Canonical and the awesome ubuntu community.
Look forward to the phone!

I'm not sure that I understand the difference between installing ubuntu and loading LXDE as a package later, choosing it on login. Just packages they come with or more under the hood?
I've got...

Thank you admins!!!):P

ImageJ needs java and loads it when you install. Is there any way to just have java used for allowed apps?

C'mon devs, would ubuntu for android run on a nexus7 or something like it ( an unlocked MeMo)?

I just want to know whether ubuntu for android will work on it or does it need fancy firmware?

I haven't seen much about android I like but at this point, all the OEM's are so risk averse and slow to act that nothing out this year or maybe next will be much more of a machine anyway. At...

Like I've been saying, of everyone I know that uses ubuntu, nobody knew that there was a survey ...

I'm 60 and use ubuntu for home, TV, music, etc. (hope for phone soon)
At work for Neuroscience research.
When I retire, I'll switch to ubuntu studio.:guitar:

I use a usb wireless keyboard-mouse by Logitech which worked well with 11.10 but after upgrade it's not seen on startup. No mouse or keyboard. If I pop out the widget and put it right back it works...

It looks like there is a good handwriting recognition app coming for windows and there just isn't much for linux yet. This is really important, but not enough to use M$. :P

As I sort of said, these machines are set up with a complicated config for a single purpose, the data is stored elsewhere but I didn't think much about updates so I guess only RAID1 will do it and I...

I hadn't. I don't know much about it and was concerned that it carried a proprietary format but I'll look into it.
As for RAID1 I think I have to set up a machine like that and can't after the...

No, I don't need a running backup because nothing much changes on this machine. I just want to clone it and have it bootable with the least hassle and most reliability.

I'd like to put another hard drive in one of my machines (10.04, will switch to 12.04) and mirror my primary disk such that if my primary drive died, I could just switch the sata cable and boot right...

Well, it would be better to convince manufacturers to fix up the details with Canonical and release products. I don't know if they think we're worth it otherwise they would be helping a little...
