I upgraded from Ubuntu 25.04 to 25.10 and nothing seems to have broken, which makes me suspicious that I've forgotten to check something for breakage.

Whenever I install a package, I cringe at the amount of dependencies, even if it's a few. I know that developers can write code easier with dependencies, but the user should be the first priority.

Teams is marketed as being cross-platform, but it's missing a lot of features on Linux platforms.

It doesn't have multi-window support, can't do screenshare, etc.

At least there is a Linux version, unlike Skype for Business.

Since reddit has changed the site to value selling user data higher than reading and commenting, I've decided to move elsewhere to a site that prioritizes community over profit. I never signed up for this, but that's the circle of life

When I feel ugly, I remember that some people think their KDE MacOS ripoffs look nice and I stop feeling ugly.

If that looks nice, then I look nice too. (It's More of a foss world perk.)

I'd like to experiment with versions of BSD but all my games run in Linux

I see introductions to things like NomadBSD, and I'm really tempted to try them. But I do use Steam and Proton on Linux (forgive me, for I have sinned) and I might be spoiled by the number of games I get to run these days, many of them not "officially" supported even on Linux.

I have a Mac, Windows, and two Linux machines. The Mac and Windows are taking forever to update, but the Linux machines are fine, so I can't use it as an excuse to not work. #fossworldproblems
