- profwalkstr 3y agoWhat happened?
- lairv 3y ago- Tried 23.04 and found too many bugs (I guess this doesn't count) - Some day 22.04 randomly started without GUI and I couldn't get it back either with ubuntu-desktop and startx - I installed a Python package without a virtual environment and it somehow interfered with system Python, bootloader broke It's possible that those errors were recoverable but I'm not a linux expert and I couldn't repair it after ~2h of stackoverflow
- jacquesm 3y agoSince I disabled auto-update most of such issues have gone away and what works stays working. I suspect the second was due to an auto-update if you had that enabled and don't get me started on python versioning and the way that can impact a system.
- zekrioca 3y agoNever go through odd versions (19.xy, 21.xy, 23.xy,…).
- colanderman 3y ago> I installed a Python package without a virtual environment Coincidentally, doing this is now disabled in Debian Bookworm.
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y ago> installed a Python package without a virtual environment and it somehow interfered with system Python, bootloader broke Shouldn't the OS python be protected by root?
- botanical 3y agoFor me Ubuntu has been the most stable distro. I probably won't move, since I want an up-to-date system that stays out of my way
