I’m going to have to flatten and reinstall the OS on the main laptop 💻 some time soon. #Kubuntu usually works well, but I tire of snapd using all my CPU and RAM, shoving all my processes aside (and OOM-killing them). I kill it, and a day or so later, I have to kill it again.
-
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.

I don't have any clarity about when my last day in #NYC will be. I'm tempted to send the #Win10 laptop home when I send the main ( #Kubuntu ) laptop home. Maybe I can get a basic, inexpensive Chromebook or a cheap #Win11 two-in-one to use for the rest of my time here.
If I knew a specific date, I might decide to hold onto the Win10 machine ... or to get a full replacement computer.

After @geniusmusing mentioned that #LinuxMint no longer offered a #KDE desktop, I had to visit the site and see for myself. He’s right.
I did see an article fon https://blog.linuxmint.com/ from 2016 that was talking about their #Kubuntu -derived KDE version, so it vanished within the past five years.
I detest #GNOME and barely tolerate many of the GNOME2 reboot desktops such as Cinnamon, so this is a big move to alienate people who want a useful and attractive desktop environment (and related applications that actually work).

Now that I have an ending date for this assignment, I'm inclined to wait until I get back to ::1 before I back up and reinstall my main laptop. (Moving from #Kubuntu to #Devuan)

My current main laptop runs #Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. The #systemd resolver seems to have problems resolving on #hotel_inet ... everything is fine once it gets past the login page and I can start the #VPN, but until then, it is dicey.
I’m thinking that I might install the latest #Devuan in its place and skip religiously-inspired choices like replacing proven DNS clients with one that is integrated into the ever-famished, all-devouring System Daemon.

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.

@dawsports I saw something like that with #Kubuntu 18.04. I don't remember how I got it to happen less often, but it didn't end until I installed 20.04 from scratch.

Running updates.
On the #Debian servers, no upgrades.
On the #Ubuntu server, Linux kernel, headers, libc upgrades
On the #Kubuntu / #Xubuntu desktop, Linux kernel, headers, libc upgrades

On the laptop upgrade project: The #Kubuntu machine is “in process”. The #Debian machine updated from 9 (Stretch?) to 10.5 (Buster?). The #NixOS and the #Fedora machine are in progress. The OpenSuse machine has not been started. The #Devuan machine ran out of disk space, so I’ll redo it from scratch.

... are unaffected. Need to check to see whether GPG and SSH keys still exist. Need to check Keepass also.
Afterward, I can back up what is left and download a newer version of #Kubuntu.
-
Blew out all my dotfiles and most of my other homedir contents on my main laptop. Guess I'll install #Kubuntu 20.04.1 from scratch instead of upgrading from 18.04.
-
Most #Ubuntu family OS should have 20.04.1 LTS available as of 2020-08-06. However, I checked a couple of hours ago and my 18.04 systems don’t see the update yet.

There’s a chance that I’ll replace #NixOS with #Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. The K is important. I dislike GNOME almost as much as I disliked #WinVista and #Win8.

Now watching some #PHP videos on the former #Lynda.com site ( now called #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning ) before I go back to the #Lua videos.
I had to take a time out from Lua because none of the (book and video) examples of "first class functions ... pass the function to that one" were working for me and I could not see why.
The odd thing is that the weird issues with scoping that I saw the past few days are gone today. Lua 5.1.5 on #Win10 1909 and Lua 5.2.4 on #Kubuntu 18.04, #Linux kernel 4.15

@amic I still love me some #Gentoo, but I've mostly run #Debian or #Kubuntu the past few years, mostly because of easier access to wireless card drivers and long stretches of travel where Internet access may or may not work.

@musicman I recently experienced this twice on #Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. However, I think either CPU or RAM + Swap was nearly 100%.

apt-listdifferences really makes a difference in the time that it takes to install updates. As much as I want to have that information available, I don’t want #Debian and #Kubuntu updates to take as long as #Win10 updates do, nor to have near 100% CPU usage during listdifferences’ runs.
.
I’ll probably remove apt-listdifferences later today.
