my favourite feature of ubuntu 18.04 LTS is how it constantly hounds me to update to ubuntu 20.04 LTS and every single time i try to it tells me that i can't and then hounds me again that i should update
pretty sure i broke stuff because ubuntu doesn't expect you to be using not bash as your shell for doing a release upgrade and there's about a hundred lines of fish errors on my terminal now because some package's post-install script tried to bash script on me
it didn't
it's looping between trying to start x and crashing x and i can't even ctrl-alt to a terminal
i broke my art computer because of compulsory updates :) and linux people complain about windows
i don't know how to fix this now
every google result for a broken lightdm restarting suggests you to go to one of the ttys using ctrl-alt-f# but you can't access the ttys if lightdm keeps restarting and therefore stealing the screen away from tty
how do you fix anything on a linux system when you can't access the terminal and every solution to a linux problem is a terminal command lmao
linux is never going to be a desktop operating system
at least it booted again? and the dist-upgrade finished? boy this is a mess
cool new mate broke window title gradients
oh my fucking god most of my broken packages are because ubuntu refused to upgrade *libsane-common* because i had a git version installed
i still don't have a working systray by the way so unless i use the terminal i literally can't change network settings
linux will never be a desktop operating system
why the HELL did package ubuntu-mate-desktop change my FIREFOX HOME PAGE
lol the contempt in this thread is exactly the problem i find with linux desktops and this has never, ever been solved to this day https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/do-gnome-extensions-work-in-mate/13829/7
I just want a damn system tray, it worked fine in 18.04 why did you break it in 20.04
maybe this is the year i finally really get into switching to windowmaker
gonna be real fun to try to reboot this machine and guess whether it will or it won't
