That said: Ubuntu 24.04.1 works very well. Feels faster than the prior long-term stable release (22.04.3) in the same laptop; perhaps it's the graphics which seem snappier.

@[email protected] Oh I did choose the suggested OS, but lsb_release -a says "Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)" ...

@[email protected] Having installed Debian bookworm in a raspberry pi recently, the stable Debian release isn't without its warts unfortunately.

If you update a laptop from Ubuntu 22.04.3 to 24.04.1 and the screen is blank with an 'x' cursor after login, do this:

  1. control+alt+F1 to go to a tty and login, then:
  2. sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-session

Further, if #thunderbird doesn't launch, remove the snap installation and install de deb package directly from mozilla (he --purge is so that it doesn't generate adn store a ~4 GB copy of the install). First, do:

$ sudo snap remove --purge thunderbird
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
$ sudo apt update

Then paste this below into a file ( /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateamppa-thunderbird ) to tell the apt system that you prefer mozilla's over any other package:

Package: thunderbird*
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001

... and install:
$ sudo apt install thunderbird

The same can be done for firefox if you'd rather skip the snap package.

And just now, as seen at the bottom of a blog post:

"Post a Comment
Unfortunately because of spam with embedded links (which then flag up warnings about the whole site on some browsers), I have to personally moderate all comments. As a result, your comment may not appear for some time. In addition, I cannot publish comments with links to websites because it takes too much time to check whether these sites are legitimate."

@ajsadauskas @degoogle

Yes to all. For a while I've been de facto using a miniscule subset of the web. My gateway to other, relevant websites are via human-to-human recommendations, primarily in a place like this.
