Excited for the new changes that kernel 5.12 and 5.13 bring. Especially NVidia+Wayland and the hotplugging of AMD GPUs. Let's hope NVidia will follow soon with this functionality (but I doubt it).

Thank God it’s the end of that hippo wallpaper that looked like a pair of hairy bollocks.

And Firefox is a snap package now; the .deb will go away next release.

Canonical finally managed to make me switch back to Debian.

Welcome back! I think it was 20.04 that really did it for me.

That being said, in general 21.10 looks like a good incremental update.

Is there an alternative source for non-snap Firefox? snapd is the first thing I nuke on fresh installs. I would like to stay with Ubuntu, if possible.

In the release notes (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/impish-indri-release-notes/21...):

The deb package remains available in the archive and will continue receiving updates for the lifetime of Ubuntu 21.10.
