I don't know if its...
1. Me
2. PEBKAC issue
3. My 2008 Computer
4. Linux has finally been sucked up into Micro$oft <soft tissue>
5. Linux has been forced to comply with keyboard loggers, and firewall by-passes by the NSA, and just plain and simply sucks
Ever since Version 18 or 19, every-time I do an "DIST-UPGRADE" it totally stuff's up my system.
I've been forced to wipe and re-install kubuntu several times, finally deciding after a hint in these forums somewhere, to "NEVER" up-grade
I was forced a few days ago, when several websites (I use FireFox) decided that "security.. blah blah" and I figured out FireFox wasn't as Up to Date, so I am getting blocked. My update from command was telling me that several things were being "held back", one was FireFox.
SO !!!!
I had to bite the bullet and do the upgrade. 22.04 to 24.04
Problem 1.... reboot nothing but errors. Tried dpkg fix packages, fix grub, computer came alive... Opps Still 22.04
Problem 2.... after about 2 hours of up-grading and a reboot dropped me into a tty terminal... That lead back to trying to fix packages, etc. That took a day
Problem 3.... Finally the system was up-graded.... and yet still in tty terminal so I thought the only thing was to "apt get install kubuntu-desktop"
Problem 4.... I think it worked.. Several reboots later, and hey, I am now here, complaining.
Success. At least my boot screen (I wasted 2 days programming that)
Question. for those that read and reply to noob's ranting like a lunatic....
Q1- Why is it so difficult to update and upgrade.
Q2- Why is there so much "garbage", sorry bloat-packages installed. I found some update scrolling up the screen, updating GRUB to UFEI BIOS or similar. My PC is so old it doesn't have UFEI.
Q2a- Some upgrade Version 19 or 20 I had "online drives" like instant cloud storage, and it took me hours to remove it.
AND Finally on a Very SAD NOTE
I've been in and out of Hospitals with multiple TIA's (Mini strokes) My brain is scrambled eggs now.
AND NO "MUON".. That just makes linux a joke, and I really want M$ even if it logs every-thing I type for China, no P.R.C to read and monitor.
Stay Safe Everyone
