I submitted a ticket through their customer support page, asking for support for Linux.

Here's how they responded. Looks like this is a "full stop" due to the use of the word "only."

Is there a Creative / SB card that will work with Ubuntu?

I have two Crucial T710s on my Ubuntu daily driver (24.04 LTS). I found out that Crucial published a firmware update, but they seem to only support a Windows installer.

Anyone have a workaround for this?

Thank you.

Since the announcement that Fox was acquiring Roku, we have experienced problems on our new Roku Ultra. Constant lockups and constant spontaneous rebooting.

I've also read numerous reports about Roku TV update problems.

Hypothesis: Roku employees have tinkered with the most recent software update to sabotage Roku customers, and drive down the stock market value, harming Fox in the process.

Sound reasonable?

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

Wired ethernet PC and HP printer.

Edited for clarity.

Since installing Ubuntu, I had been able to print.

One day, I logged in and my only option was to save as PDF.

Since this problem started, I can see the printer, I can add the printer in Settings, but I cannot not print to it. Even a test page fails.

Hp-Setup self reports it is not compatible with 26.04.

Reinstall time?

I can ping and log into id.me and login.gov.

But since a fresh install of Racoon (coming from Win 10 Pro), I seem to be cut off from va.gov for technical reasons.

I have a corporate-level firewall, and it can ping va.gov and validate that my PC is allowed to reach va.gov.

On my Ubuntu PC, I am using both Firefox and Brave to access va.gov. In both browsers, the connection times out.

I have updated and upgraded from the command line.

I am on IPV 4.0 and not running IPV 6 network wide.

Asus Prime Z590-A motherboard.

Please advise. And thank you for all assistance.
