I can't wait for people to stop expecting that putting #!/usr/bin/env python at the top of their scripts will lead to python2 being used.

I've been looking forward to Python 4 for a long time now.
Has there been anything posted about it? I'd be interested to read up on it.

Fabric is still not supporting py3, it's important tool for a lot of admins.
There's a maintained Fabric fork [0] for Python 3, it is basically a drop-in and available via pip. [0] https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/
32-bit installer images are no longer provided for Ubuntu Desktop. The Ubuntu Desktop now uses GNOME instead of Unity. On supported systems, Wayland is now the default display server. The older display server is still available: just choose Ubuntu on Xorg from the cog on the log in screen. GDM has replaced LightDM as the default display manager. The login screen now uses virtual terminal 1 instead of virtual terminal…

1% of users with very particular requirements should not hold back the experience of the other 99%.

I have bought a new desktop this spring. The first thing I did was configuring wake on lan (in France, we have 7 days to cancel a purchase). The second one was to configure ssh and gnome to be able to administer it remotely (line DisallowTCP=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf). I use Linux at work since 1999 and I have used a local display less than 1% of the time. An application that does not work remotely does not exis…
I'm lost, why is it relevant that "in France, we have 7 days to cancel a purchase"?
Really sad that they were bullied into getting rid of unity. No global menu in gnome is a joke. Feels like going back in time.
I like what ubuntu has done for linux use, but they seem really good at blowing money. Upstart, Mir, Unity, etc...

Plenty of things don't have python 3 support, but you can still use python2 without it being /usr/bin/python.
I doubt very much Ubuntu has made python3 /usr/bin/python, since the official recommendation of the Python project is to not do that. Still true of course that it doesn't have to be installed by default even if some applications still need it.
Tell that to Arch. :(

It’s just going to be one after 3.9. Nothing special. https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/17/why-python-4-0...
