wild kubuntu seem to have the nextcloud desktop app in the "store" regular ubuntu did not.
I had to run:
sudo apt install nextcloud-desktop
the nextcloud website has you download some appImage file that I have no idea how to use.
also nextcloud on kubuntu was slow as ass. settings pane took 30 seconds to open.

Uh. Is this a known #ubuntu thing? Or is this a quirk of #Wayland?
Sometimes when I bring a window from the background it stays like this, text and icons all garbled. Sometimes if I resize or jiggle it, it sorts itself out, sometimes I have to kill it.

Screenshot of a file manager window in #Ubuntu but the file listing text is all garbled and unreadable, almost as if the character code page has switched to weird Matrix style glyphs.

dropbox has not been seemless. Google drive does not seem to be working on KDE.

Firefox is choking on video on my 4k monitor on Kubuntu. Youtube's status for nerds is showing 10 - 20% of frames dropped.
Chromium is fine. I think removing all the monitor scaling helps but does not fully fix it.

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.

This meme is probably going to trigger the #Ubuntu purists, you know, the so-called Snap elitists.
I oppose Snap and Ubuntu, and as a Debian and Secureblue user, I consider Snap unnecessary bloat.

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.
This is only a pain because of me ripping DVDs and trying to number episodes.

OKAY. back to windows it is. Installing KDE on ubuntu and it being super laggy and then trying to uninstall it has my my Ubuntu no longer loading a UI at all. it's just a console input.
I tried. now I probably just need to reinstall Ubuntu to get back to a baseline.

hmmm... unclear but youtube started dropping frames again. Seems like the nvidia driver changes from 590 back to 570? I changed it back to 590 and I think it works better. small chance it's better because a computer restart?
I've restarted my #ubuntu more then I ever restarted windows.
