?
I feel like I have been around and around in circles since LM21 "stable" was released.
to summarise, using the update manager was problematic....maybe it was just me?!....perhaps I was not holding my tongue in the right position?....who knows!?....I guess it really comes down to who cares !
I had problems with a usb stick in the middle of it all....I ended up running fsck on the nvme drive which lm21 was installed on and a multitude of errors presented themselves.Scrubbed that install....threw the usb stick across the room.
Fresh Install. Using a freshly burned iso on a fresh usb stick.
Install went flawlessly. Just like
@charlie.corder's ....swift and to the point.
Then of course the various apps and stuff that I use every day has to be reinstalled from Software Manager. I had written a list.
A4 sheet of paper...fairly full. I did not observe line spacing so it maybe consumed half of the page.
Installing & setting up the various apps that I use took a long time....too long....enough to tick me off.
What am I talking about ?
brief, not all encompassing list
qbittorrent
deadbeef
video downloader
airvpn
catfish search
firewall
Timeshift
zim
brave
thunderbird
calibre
chromium
flameshot
kpatience
keyboard shortcuts
Set up twin monitors....panels, icons on panels, (not for the faint hearted) set up update manager/software sources,
Take care of little inconveniences like my sdd filling up from errant logs....kernlog and syslog in particular.......Also repair the fact that brave now wants me to "log in/forgotten gnome keyring password" each and every time I open it.
All good fun
Not.
Result;
Brilliant.
Runs like the wind.
Totally stable. (Having said that, I still have a full Disc Image of LM20.3 on an external hard drive.....and a full Timeshift snapshot of same....just in case things go south. I do not really think they will....but ....I have been bitten....hence the double surety)
I can't think of anything else to inform about.
Questions?
