Traffic is awful round here.

So I recently took my #Motorbike in for it's first service and while there, they gave me this absolute BEAST to take out for a few hours.

Very similar to my bike except it's 200bhp instead of 170bhp. Beautiful machine.

I need to get out with the dogs before the temperature rises from "the surface of mercury" to "the surface oft he sun".

The furballs can't handle the heat.

So I've been running #Ubuntu for the last couple days and I have to say, it's been great. Very stable and no real issues to talk of. Snaps are still a bit shit, but a couple of commands later and I have Flatpak support.

Question - does Ubuntu shit the bed entirely if you remove Snaps all together?

Um, when did the #Ubuntu image become 6GB???

The can is open and there are worms everywhere. 🤦🏼‍♂️🪱🪱🪱

(buds were free on an offer, I didn't really need them as my Sony ones are fine.)

It was all going so well with #Fedora until I connected my external monitor via USB C. It's absolutely will NOT stay connected. Works perfectly in Windows and MacOS, just plug an play. I'm about done with Linux, I think - I don't have time for this shit.

Continuing with #Fedora and quite enjoying it. There are still some frustrations though:

  • Fingerprint reader doesn't work very well.
  • Auto screen dimming is horrendous - there's no smooth transitions and is very jarring (turned it off).
  • LibreOffice is ugly AF. Replaced with OnlyOffice.
  • I cant set a background on my login screen. It's just grey, which is a bit shit.

All small things though.

When the #Wireshark wiki uses the plucky little CSS framework you created.
