g'damit. why is it that even #ubuntu 25.10 still only has #libsodium v1.0.18? 1.0.20 is even getting stale (actually i just checked v1.0.21 is out since two weeks) and all i need is only 1.0.19, breaks my CI/CD pipeline.

Hmmm.... Guess I need to figure out why my Ubuntu sometimes slows to a crawl and doesn't recover. The mouse can barely move. I end up needing to hard reboot.
Alt control f1 doesn't do anything for me.
I've yet to find an app that will show me important events in a simple way to debug.

I don't know who needs to see this, but I've had some issues with a pre-26.04 Ubuntu, which were (apparently) fixed with the following:
echo "@{run}/systemd/journal/dev-log wm," > /etc/apparmor.d/local/unix-chkpwd

I'm struggling with getting a functional environment which includes the following:
-Ubububu 26.04
-Kernel 6.19
-Nvidia 580.xx drivers
-CUDA 13.0.x
Until I get at least the last three of those things in one place on a recent Ubuntu release, I can't try out nvidia_greenboost :-/

I have been using GNU/Linux for almost 18 years now (started with Ubuntu 7.10 in April 2008, just before 8.04 (Hardy Heron) was released). In that time, I stuck with Ubuntu for a few years, then switched to CrunchBang (#!) Linux, which then shifted its base from Ubuntu to Debian before ceasing to exist entirely (it was a one-man project), at which point I migrated to Debian proper (I think back in 2014).

@… hi! Do you have an app for Linux (e.g. Ubuntu and derivatives like ZorinOS)? The only one I found in the software center is called "Tuta (experimental)" 🤔🙏

Well, yes. But maybe not right now.

It's *finally* easy to get the latest version of an app. (Although outdated Apps are traditionally a #Debian/#Ubuntu problem.) Using them feels mostly native now.
But they are confusing: You can install an app twice!? The data path is different. And they're still not good with hardware:

The multiple file GUI for ubuntu is not great. On windows you can incriment file numbers starting from any number... ubuntu lets you pick number format but it always starts from 1.

The main reason is some Vulkan packaging issues that require special handling for 22.10 and older, the CI scripts will be a lot simpler if I can just forget that (the documentation mentions the nec…

One thing that is a pain about dropbox on ubuntu is if you are re-setting up dropbox you can't point it at an existing folder that was previously downloaded. you need to re-download everything, which is a bit silly.

I keep thinking about trying mint or kubuntu but I have ubuntu working and I don't really care about what the UI looking like too much. As long as it works. I like the basics which tend to be best supported.
