nostr:npub1upkp7fd7rc3lrjg23r8gy0wc723vze7mxlx5984ut6zurjzpf5xss4tcwy I had tried the switch to Ubuntu years ago and it was too rocky - it's a LOT smoother now, with just enough rough spots to present a pleasant challenge/stretch.
Plus, given Valve's work on the SteamDeck and their Proton runtime, gaming on Linux has advanced by leaps and bounds.

I’m not doomscrolling, you’re doomscrolling

fixed it, whee.
Ctrl Alt F3 to move from cursor to login. Login.
didn't work: startx
did work: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
this is karmic payback for all those “year of linux on the desktop” jokes, isn’t it
pretty sure something in the latest Ubuntu 2204 updates fucks over the graphic desktop environment, this is the second case I’ve seen in two weeks - first was a coworker (but my issue is on a personal rig).
ya buys yer ticket and ya takes yer chances.
Just started a laptop update and thought, “hm maybe I should’ve run a backup first.”
The moment I thought that, the screen went black and is now just showing a cursor.
Which is fitting, between feeling cursed and all the cursing I’m doing.

I'm not particularly worried about it, I'm sure the business(es) involved will face serious fines or losing any existing licenses.
