🚀 I just published a short guide explaining how to upgrade PostgreSQL 🐘 from version 15 to 16 just after an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) 🦘
@LouisIngenthron I have installed four(?) different distros in the last week, and they all went in fine except vanilla #Debian, which I don't know how I screwed it up, but I did. #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint, and #PopOS were all just as easy as #Windows was once upon a time: click "ok" a bunch until you hit a welcome screen. Notably absent was the requirement that I sign into their exclusive service to even use the software.
"Our plan is to grow the Ubuntu Desktop team by at least another 50% over the next year and we are opening a range of positions across all levels of seniority in the coming weeks. At Canonical we think the future is bright for the Linux desktop and if you have the passion and skills to be at the cutting edge of performance, security, immutability and accessibility then we want to hear from you."
This probably isn't possible but I thought I'd throw it out there.
I just happen to have installed #Ubuntu from scratch and used #Gnome. And I have no interest in using Gnome for anything, I don't like it. BUT, the trackpad handling is excellent! Gestures, and the scrolling, it's great. I can't seem to find a way to pull whatever handles the mouse handling out of Gnome and use it within my own #Linux Window manager. I probably don't understand the layers of Gnome, and that's fine. But I sure wish I could have just that functionality. For years, I've had janky trackpad handling on Linux because I thought it was as good as it could get.
