Every God damned time I install #Ubuntu on an old macbook with a Norwegian keyboard (which is more often than you might think), I want to kill myself because of how the keyboard is setup. For example ' (apostrophe) is not defined at all. 😱
I finally made some notes for myself:

A new puzzle: normally in #XOrg I can blank the screen with "xset dpms force off" and with KDE/Plasma I could bind this to a hot key, but in Gnome #Ubuntu 25.10 using #XFCE4 it will work from inside a terminal, but as a hotkey it blanks, pauses, then refreshes the screens. Why would this be? Or perhaps, is there a prefered method to instantly blank all screens in XFCE-4? Not to lock, just to turn them off.

wow... I was this close to fake a heart attack to get out of the office ...
Tried for one hour to fix a network share which suddenly was not accessible this morning.
Samba share on an #Ubuntu machine.
Some Win Clients accessing the share.
Share was visible in Explorer but could not be accessed.
Ping OK
Rebooted server and clients, restarted samba services, …

Hat jemand Erfahrung damit #Ubuntu auf einem Lenovo Ideapad 720S aufzuspielen und möchte die Erfahrung teilen? Oder konkreter gefragt: Lief alles glatt oder gab es Punkte, die du gern vorher gewusst hättest?
(Ich habe >10 Jahre Erfahrung mit Ubuntu, es geht mir nicht so sehr um die Nutzungserfahrung.) #Windows10

They say a change is as good as being arrested, or something like that, and being reckless (and retired) I upgraded my vintage laptop to #Ubuntu 25.10 because why not, it was already broken from a few upgrades ago, and it was already clear #plasma on #x11 with my Radeon 570 was, well, not fun.
So down the list I go. Those of you on Mac or that other O/S ("little&soft"?) won't understand, but I went through each of the various desktops, just to see, not expecting a lot given my hardware.
Well, Ubuntu on Wayland works now, but, egad, it is ugly. Gnome and its Classic look, well, almost the same. One of the others is just a blank screen, but remember, my machine was already broken.
I ended up in #xfce which I hadn't used in, omg, never mind, only I'm thinking, hey old man, learn some new tricks! Need to add panel and some widgets and…
why is my panel's outline slowly blinking red? (left it in Add mode and buried the dialog box)

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.5.13-freepg
