nottheengineer,

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

My ubuntu installation broke completely

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I’ve been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to...

nottheengineer,

LTS does have a place on the desktop: Learning how to daily drive linux. I started with kubuntu non-LTS and didn’t know you needed to manually start a full-upgrade to not get moved to backport repos. Of course that came crashing down on me at the worst time and I took a break from linux. But I did learn enough that I can use arch now and it’s been great.

nottheengineer,

Same here. Ubuntu almost made me believe that linux is a pain in the ass to use and you need to fix some shit after every update.

Now I use arch and it’s great. Nvidia is very annoying because they constantly publish drivers that break things, but you can just roll those back and wait until they fix it again. And that gets worse as GPUs age. Apart from nvidia, I’ve had exactly one update issue (telepathy-kde being removed and causing the pacman dependency resolver to get confused) that was fixed in about 2 minutes of googling.

nottheengineer,

Automatic updates that need reboots but run at any time other than when shutting down?

Sounds like something microsoft would do, but even they get that part right.
