  • Ubuntu is fine. Drivers are annoying on all distros (nvidia updates for me mainly, I don’t update hardware often).

    I have daily driven various distros and tested a lot since the 90s and I pay close attention to time spent on customizing and fixes, and ubuntu just isn’t worse than other distros. I make setup scripts and have custom dockerfiles for webtops.

    I want to like nixos or whatever fork will prevail, but it’s more work than people want to admit. I personally don’t want to have to pay that much attention to my operating system. It’s why i ditched gentoo almost 20 years ago. I don’t want to lurk forums for fixes and tweaks. I also make sure hardware I buy doesn’t have glaring compatibility issues.

    If Ubuntu rubs you the wrong way but you are fine with most of it, just use debian.

    Easy example. Have they fixed file upload behavior yet? Do they store the entire file in memory by default instead of chunking it and storing it as it comes in?

    If not it’s like the worst memory usage of any language possible.

    If you have to go change the php.ini to adjust file upload sizes, it’s not really moving forward and is decades behind other languages.



  • I tried to report to ATT that one of their junction boxes with thousands of splices had been obliterated at an intersection i was near. Somehow none of the wires were broken, just laying on the ground. I spent a good 15 minutes being transferred around only to be told if I didn’t have an account number they couldn’t do anything.

    I googled for contact info for downed lines and the numbers had been changed to general support numbers.

    Super frustrating
