Also fixed is a bug that could cause an X server crash when graphics apps request single-buffered drawables while certain features like Vulkan sharpening are enabled, a bug that could lead to a kernel panic due to a failure to release a spinlock under some conditions, and a race condition which could lead to crashes when Xid errors occur concurrently on multiple GPUs.

Hans credits his improved social and communication skills learned in prison among other details shared in the public letters.

I thought prisons were meant to cause more trauma and help ensure people never leave so as to increase profits?

I'll just use an alias; sudo has been around for to long for me to change it and not be stressed about it.

I suppose it is like a super zip file. I was using Ubuntu's default backup (Deja Dup) which was just a gui for Duplicity. I was using the gui for everything but I suppose it didn't work. I spent days running through all the command options for duplicity, but it never yielded any results. I still don't really know what went wrong, but no matter.

I wanted to upgrade my Ubuntu to a newer version, but I had to do it through the command line. During the upgrade it asked if I wanted to see the file changes or something, so I said yes for fun... I couldn't get out of the menu, or rather I didn't know how and seemed to be stuck halfway through the upgrade. I tried a bunch of keys and possible combinations including.... Ctrl + X.

So after quitting the terminal halfway through a system upgrade I tried to restore through backup. Turns out the backup was corrupted or something and didn't work. I never realized because I never thought to test it. I lost a few years of photos and some music files that I've had probably for decades that I downloaded off Limewire. I still have the backup file in case it can be salvaged some day, but oh well. Most of the files I was able to download again off of the bay.

I used to always go with Ubuntu LTS for dat stability. One day I had to upgrade to non-LTS version for some reason (that I completely forget) and I've never looked back. IME it's the same as LTS but with all the cool features you wish you had. Which I can't list rn because I forget.

...Who am I even. idk.

There are also distros that are meant specifically for educational settings:

Note that I don't think that Endless OS restricts it's usage.

Running Ubuntu 23.10 with xz-utils 5.41 which is unaffected. Versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 are the malicious packages. I used Synaptic Package Manager to search for it.

You are all progenitors to the ITA.

As a non-programmer, this entire comment sounds straight out of a Neal Stephenson sci-fi story.
