I get them too. I have no use for DMs at all. Completely pointless to me.

As far as I’m aware there is no way to delete DM’s even on the website. At least not on my instance.

I would live to be able to disable all DM’s completely.

You might want to file a bug report so they can grab some info from you that could help an updater get pushed sooner and help others.

Very glad you got up and running. Hopefully they will get a better update pushed out soon.

Hay if the restore works might hold off on doing an update for a few days just too see if kubuntu had pushed a bad update. If they did they did they should fix it pretty quickly when they get a bunch of people with broken systems.

I haven’t used timeshift in at least three years so Im going to give you this instead of relying on my possibly faulty memory.

Yes try to do that first. First research how to restore from timeshift backup so you do it properly.

Does ethernet work?

Did you chroot and reupdate? You might want to reuse timeshift to roll back before doing so.

Could also try going back a couple timeshifts ago.

Have you tried making sure network manager is enabled and started?

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

From a live USB do you have networking?

I feel personally attacked, how does he know exactly what by balls look like and how I feel about their aged inadequacies.

I think your best bet is https://xdaforums.com/.

Tell you when i remember.

Trump is an enemy of democracy. An enemy of all free peoples. A clear and present danger to us all.

They took their oath to defend the constitution. Clearly trump is the enemy from within.

If there are any generals in the US that are still loyal to the people and their oaths they took to defend our country from enemy’s both foreign and domestic, now is the time.

US has abdicated its role. Europe’s time to take the reins has come.

Fair enough!

I very much appreciated the xkcd, gave a good chuckle.

The LWDIS page should have a basic overview of the different distro family’s and maybe a breakdown of their specialty’s or focus. Probably have a breakdown for windows and mac specific easy ways to burn an ISO in the stickie.

Then people could field questions and guide people to the distro that might suit OP’s needs best instead of sponsoring their favorite distro.

From there they can go to the individual distros for more complete information and questions. If that distro and their community feels like a fit for their needs I think we could have a better retention rate than what we have been doing.

The other day I saw one of these which distro posts and most replies were not very helpful and mostly fanboy sponsorships which i don’t think would be very helpful to the OP. But their was one person there patiently and thoroughly answering OPs questions with the best info he could provide. It was tip top! That’s how we grow together!

I get it, the fanboy thing, I’ve got it bad for arch, endeavour and garuda. Im also the geekiest twat in my town. I don’t really recommend them to people I dont intend to be their IT guy when shit goes wrong. For the most part I recomend distros that have great communities people can draw from. If a newbie goes to the arch forum and hasn’t at least read the docs and researched their problem, provide logs or terminal output they arent getting helped. At least not how they might need. But on the mint, ubuntu, fedora forum’s they can plow through just about any problem with a little hand holding if that’s what they need, and that’s not a bad thing.

Friendliness, inclusion, understanding of the users personal needs, computer usage and goals is the way to keep people and expand our linux community IMO.

I want linux to be as welcoming as possible to everyone and the newbie question of what distro to use will come up a lot. I dont think it’s helpful in any way to bicker about why my choice in linux is better. We should be giving them the tools to make the best decision for themselves

What if we built a beginners linux community (Linux, Where Do I Start -> LWDIS) and point to all the distros communities, and on those distro specific communities they had beginner friendly install, setup, rice, maintenance instructions and advice along with a difficulty rating. I don’t know if stickies are a thing here but could be helpful in keeping relevant info on top. This could be a place for fanboys to shine on there favorite distro while keeping the basic inclusive LWDIS community free of bickering about distros that might cause confusion and turn people off.

That sucks, i thought i had used it before to get some music videos.

I think newPipe has an age restriction toggle in its settings, its available on android, not sure about ios, pretty sure not available on desktops.

Its been a while since ive needed to do this.

Dammit, i replied to myself. Stupid self!
