Its almost a month after release of 26.04 and this release feels most glitched LTS.
[This post should have an "annoyed guy rant" tag]
As daily driving ubuntu since 6.06 I truly was frustrated twice. When Ubuntu switched from Gnome 2.x to 3.x - that was the moment when I jumped off the train and switched to KDE - and with latest release of Kubuntu 26.04 - with inconsistent DE configurations.
Maybe I'm too spoiled with how smooth linux experience is now and I forgot how hardcore it was back in days with bunch of random scripts, weird PPA and hours spent with random people on IRC to make things work.
But recent LTS feel more like X.10
With recent release - 26.04 - I think the most annoying is that DE settings are randomly switching to "defaults" after few restarts
Examples:
- wobbly windows - turning on randomly
- autostart - removing randomly programs from the list
- devices auto-mount - not mounting drives in random pattern
- cursor settings and feedback - changing size and animation
- system monitor layout - crashing overview tab that need to be reloaded from saved file
- windows tiling - wiping tiling layout to a single window + default padding
Thats only from DE side as everyday I find more but I can fix them on my own.
Do anyone track Kubuntu mailing/issues list and know what of these things could be fixed or will be fixed in "bulk" patch?
