It is very usable, provided you pay attention to major upcoming changes. To give you a very recent example, during May they switched the time libraries to use 64 bits, and like others said, it was dependency hell until the tide of all the packages being recompiled passed. In those cases, unless you know EXACTLY what to do, it’s better to wait for updates to come in, let apt sort out what could be updated and what had to wait, and just make sure it doesn’t propose you to delete things. After 2 weeks it was all business as usual. Side note: aptitude (my package manager of choice) was unusable, while apt threaded on and pulled me out of the tangle.
I tried once. Could not figure it out. I’ll leave that to the young people.
Clean install on a new computer. Then upgrades until the computer gets retired. Debian at home, Ubuntu server at work.
I like playing with distros and other OSes in VMs, if the thing doesn’t have a well defined upgrade procedure it gets ditched pretty soon.
I told my would-be boss that if he wanted me to be productive I’d better have a Linux machine
Is there a particular reason you can’t just open 2 xterm and run each command in its own ?
Are you using it via WiFi or usb? Are you able to see both the printer and the scanner in the printer configuration panel?
You might be able to reset the root password by booting to single user, or using a rescue usb.
That said, you could take the chance to try one of the BSDs.
And don’t forget to defrag, while you are at it.
I had something like this and if I remember correctly it had to do with antialiasing. Try changing that settings
May be our own path to survive the AI rebellion.
Check if you have some accessibility options enabled, disable everything if you don't need it. I have xfce on 2 older laptops and it doesn't do that.
I miss “lp1 on fire” :-(
Only?
