I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my grandma’s computer and her printer suddenly started printing human anuses

The creator wrote in a pinned comment that they had a bad boot media. No idea what you guys are arguing about.

They just want to hate Ubuntu without facts

I have a fix, use Debian.

Can confirm. I recently ditched Ubuntu after more than a decade of increasing bloat, bugs, snaps, etc. Debian has been a breath of fresh air.

This was because of a faulty boot media

I installed ubuntu 24.04 over my previous installation of 23.10 and had literally 0 issues, so I’m going to classify this as user error.

Endeavor’s problem is a Calamares problem in specific.

Pro tip: use an external partition editor before the install. For endeavor, this used to be gparted, but is now partitionmanager. (It even comes with the ISO!)

Every install, clear ALL partitions on the drive, THEN run the installer. Be happy.

But I like to use Btrfs on top of LUKS and more often than not it’s not an option.

Can’t comment to that, I keep my home folder on a secondary drive, and just nuke the system drive when I distro hop.

I tried to install Windows 10 about two years ago as a dual boot option. The selection on which disk to install it on always failed with some obscure error. Turns out the installer couldn’t handle multiple disks being available so I had to unplug every disk except the soon-to-be Windows 10 disk…whereas the openSuse installer was able to setup a pretty complicated RAID+encryption setup easily.

First attempt at the Server iso it wouldn’t boot, stuck in an endless wait for some snap services to start. I don’t use Ubuntu anyway and wouldn’t use Server before a .1, but it was not the best out of box experience.

Or Picasa

acockworkorange, 14 days ago

I hated Picasa, but I know that was because it was anathema for my needs. For most people it was great, and I never understood how they failed to monetize such a successful product.

I’m not sticking up for this release, but you’re just bad at puters, brah. Get gud.

Just retry, eventually it is going to install, beautiful

Apparently there are other issues as well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1KXeTd30KI

From a comment on HN…

To the outside observer, it seems like it’s not a carefully taken business decision but some random engineer who wanted to learn rust and flutter.
