The #ubuntu login loop that I encountered about a month ago is caused by specifying dependencies in a systemd automount file.

The visible symptom is a GDM login loop.

Another symptom is that /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-unix will be owned gdm/gdm, instead of root/root. Changing the ownership to root/root fixes the login loop, but it returns after the next reboot.

All the gory details are spelled out here.

Which idiot put "disable touchpad" option to #GNOME without thinking of "someone without mouse may press it by mistake or curiosity"?

That's it: 48 hours later, #Ubuntu is installed.

I think someone not tech-savvy would have shipped the unit back after 24 hours of fighting with it.

It was *not* easy. Lots to debug.

& the first few doc paragraphs I read were in English, but as my problems became more mysterious, the answers devolved into a geek-speak I could not always parse. "Do x, then y, then flerb as usual," where "flerb" was *not* hyperlinked.

Now it's pretty, & good-enough. I'll experiment and see how it serves.

Nachdem ich darüber las, dass Linux mittlerweile für Gaming gut geeignet ist und teilweise sogar besser performt, bin ich schließlich umgestiegen. Dabei habe ich ein paar Distributionen (stümperhaft) gebenchmarkt. Aber zur groben Orientierung mag das reichen. Eventuell interessiert es ja den einen oder anderen, daher der Toot.

If I want to test out some Snap Store stuff but am on Fedora Silverblue… should I even attempt that, or just spin up an Ubuntu VM/install Ubuntu on another machine?

To be clear about my use case: I’m not looking to actually use Snap apps on alongside other apps on Silverblue, so nice integration is not important; I just want to check out how things are presented and progressing over in the world of the Snap store/App Center thing.
