The addition of kdump-tools to relevant Ubuntu desktop and server images enables kernel crash dumps by default. This proactive approach streamlines troubleshooting by automatically capturing critical data after a crash, allowing faster and effective diagnostics, without requiring users to manually adjust settings beforehand.
And for a new version of their desktop, all they have to announce is that you will be able to find old color themes and improvement in the apt "command line" UX.
One could talk about the horrible thing called snaps and the fact the OS prefers installing them over debs, or the Ubuntu Pro upsell attempts, etc. kdump isn't an issue compared to the real issues imo
I'm all for it, if only because I don't want them wasting time maintaining two different configurations, if they can unify them, they have more time to improve the important stuff.
Thanks but no thanks! Fedora is still sane, at least.
It has worked surprisingly well.
Ubuntu has a lifetime ban from me. No thanks. Whenever I setup my server again (I can't face the prospect, as it'll take me weeks) it'll probably just be Debian.
What error did it give you exactly?
My son is partial to Debian and KDE, which is a strong choice. My next platform test is a DaVinci Resolve Linux workstation but I don’t honestly expect it to beat a new MacBook. But if it’s close enough I may elect to go with open source over Big Tech lock-in.
