1. [Announcement] Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 release image is being updated to resolve a malicious translation incident
  
  Summary Shortly after release we identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in a specific set of translations of the Ubuntu Desktop installer UI and have taken immediate action. These translations are being removed and an updated ISO will be available to download once we have replaced the offending material. It is important to note that these translations are not part of the Ubuntu Archive and we believe the incident is contained only to translations provided via a third party translat...

Wondering whether I want to try "MocaccinoOS":{https://www.mocaccino.org/} Desktop on this laptop. Currently, it runs a #Ubuntu flavor ( #Kubuntu ) and snapd randomly starts up and OOM kills my browser and mail client, so I want something that doesn't have Snap installed by default.

I finally burned a couple of GNU+Linux installer ISOs to DVD-R, so now I can send S her box (includes flash drive with Ventoy and about five ISOs, a !RasPi Zero 2 kit, a keyboard and mouse for it, and those two DVDs ... #Fedora and #PCLinuxOS; I downloaded #Ubuntu, but it is bigger than the DVD's capacity).

Discovered that my #Kubuntu laptop was still on version 20.04 LTS. I’m currently running the updater to bring it up to 22.04 LTS.

I’m tempted to reinstall it with #Devuan, but I will wait to see what #Ubuntu has done to it first.

I had an opportunity to look for #Tenacity in both #Devuan and #Ubuntu / #Kubuntu ... not there yet. I still see #Audacity, and wonder now whether it contains some of the user-hostile changes that led to Tenacity and #Saucedacity forking in the first place.

My main laptop is running Kubuntu 20.04, but rather than upgrade to 22.04, I think I want to wipe it and install the latest Devuan instead. I want to default to #Devuan, with an occasional #Debian (or #Ubuntu family, or #Linux_Mint) then use other distros on an as needed basis.

I have one computer at home that runs #NixOS and one that runs #OpenSuse. I'm likely to keep the SuSE machine running that software, but NixOS is too different and too bleeding edge for someone who regularly leaves home for a year.

If you're on #Windows, the current version of #Zeal is in Chocolatey.

Zeal is in the official repos for #Debian and #Ubuntu derived distros and also for #Fedora, #Gentoo, #openSuSE.

Seems like there is something screwy with #galera and #mariadb on #centos 7. It works great on #ubuntu.

Maybe something in the name resolution stack? It just won't keep 3 nodes in a cluster. so weird.

Is it me, or is #Ubuntu updating the kernel about three times per week? It feels like #WinXP before SP2 and the adoption of Patch Tuesday.

Today: Update and reboot.

Two days later: Update and reboot.

Two or three days after that: Update and reboot.

Applies equally to #Xubuntu, #Lubuntu, etc.

Yes, I can see this being annoying. #Fedora hides the non-Gnome versions, so that most people get GNOME. Since I've hated the look and feel of GNOME ever since I first encountered it, I always look for KDE or other alternative desktops.
