Anyone having issues with nextcloud client segfaulting after upgrading from 20.10 to 21.04? Running Xubuntu. Their latest AppImage seems to work though.

#102I still can't reconcile zfs in the installer. There's no warnings or information upfront about how you will make your filesystem into a nice brick if you upgrade your linux kernel and forget that your filesystem has to be manually upgraded with that kernel version. Distros should not include filesystems that aren't in the kernel in their official installer. Fedora made the right decisions with btrfs. If users want zf…
In case of Ubuntu 21.04 it seems that DKMS magic takes care of rebuilding ZFS support whenever I install a new kernel package (yes, even one that I've built myself from mainline git---currently running 5.12-rc7). Yes, it can require manual work, if zfs-dkms does not have support for the kernel one is running. This failure should be quite visible: installation of the kernel package will end in an error. But more impor…
Also pretty sure Ubuntu keeps a few old versions of Linux. And GRUB uses it's own ZFS module.

The Flatpak version of Firefox is official and created by Mozilla. I don't think the Snap version is. If that matters to you then you may want to go with Flatpak over Snap.
The snap is also from Mozilla.

Re: Ubuntu 21.04
#107Thank you to Canonical for keeping Ubuntu a free and open source operating system with long term support! With the death of CentOS (replaced by an unstable upstream of RHEL) it means a lot to the Linux community.
I fail to see how moving to a rolling release strategy results in any kind of "death", seems like FUD to me. Rolling release, trying to stick to upstream releases as closely as possible, works well with Arch Linux, I'm glad CentOS learned from Arch Linux success. DISCLAMER: I'm not even a CentOS user, but I just like what RH does and has done for "the Linux community" as you call it (I would just call it "society" bu…
CentOS is doing nothing like Arch.
CentOS rolling release will still be so slow that itll lag a lot behind Fedora.
Its just that CentOS will now be afew months ahead of RHEL instead of afew months behind RHEL.

These are all beta images.
If you install the beta from a week or two ago and then do a 'apt update' followed by 'apt dist-upgrade', it'll download maybe a few hundred MB of stuff, need to reboot once, and will be the same as the release.
Or you could wait a couple of hours for Ubuntu to update their website. What's the rush?

Yes, but only if you submit your code to Snapcraft. There's no way to host your own repository.
