It's just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)

I actually am okay with the appearance, but there is just way too much emphasis on doing things that the user base doesn't care about, instead of actually fixing bugs with the product and solidifying it. Which, okay, I guess some folks are fine with that, but being the most popular distro, why try to drive so much innovation at the expense of stability?

I just revisited it a short while ago on hardware that had actual 16.04 compatibility confirmed by vendor back in the day and it was a battery hog and a call tracing dumpster fire on 23.10. Then I switch to Debian 12 and not a single problem. I don't get it.

The Canonical cycle:

Canonical solves a problem nobody was experiencing or needed a resolution for

Canonical pushes problem resolution as a major component of Ubuntu

"Resolution" impacts Ubuntu use negatively

Users get the pitchforks

Canonical kind of mitigates the issue somewhat but not completely

Canonical goes back to thinking about problems nobody is having

Repeat ad nauseam

"Why doesn't this just work I never had this problem on Windows!!" leaves no necessary information to troubleshoot

Vs.

"I have this specific and obscure workflow I use with this one package nobody has heard of, I perform XYZ action and after I ran pacman -Syu I'm seeing that the application is segfaulting and leading to this call trace..."

Five page dump of dmesg

"I mapped this to line 748 of the Linux-Zen kernel source file can somebody help explain how I can work around this?"

No responses for eternity, thread archived

Malevolent opera music plays as a bewildered lanky 30-something cartoonist and his small dog gaze upon the monstrous, evolved form of his cat, evolved into his true form and fused with its favorite cuisine and demanding more food before blasting them away with a gigantic laser beam

Ubuntu 8.10

I don't like Ubuntu anymore but I loved it then

Must be a real freaking awkward family reunion

It's almost like a fight might break out
