Upside down, Tux you turn me, inside out, round and round. This is my long-term usage review and report no.5 of the Slimbook Titan laptop, with Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics and Kubuntu 22.04 LTS as the operating system, including latest round of updates and problems with PackageKit, manual repair, good post-update performance and responsiveness, gaming compatibility, hardware compatibility, battery life, everyday use, some small niggles, other observations, and more. Emotional forecast? Today, favorable winds. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/slimbook-titan-report-5.html Cheers, Mrk
@Mrkvonic Thanks for your update review. Although I am not capable of understanding some of the technical aspects of all your considerations, I always enjoy your analysis which comes from a human perspective that I can identify with. I'm new to Linux myself and hold the same desire to leave 'dows completely as far as my main everyday operating system is concerned. This is mainly due to wanting to have some sense of ownership of the operating system and that I can hold it as a daily workhorse without fear of outside manipulation, trying to avoid the 'keep up' game. It's taken me a lot of years and multiple tries at trying to make Linux my everyday operating system. I'm still basically a GUI user and the command line, I only use, with guidance, occasionally, when necessary. I eventually went for Linux Mint Cinnamon as my safest option. It mangled severely once and left me in the air after months of good service. It could have been my own fault but locked me out of a working system, mangled my pc, (could never install Linux on that pc after that episode, not sure what happened or why) left me with a lot of command prompt work, that I couldn't understand and deflated me. and knocked my confidence. I've taken the position now that I will always have multiple copies on various pcs and laptops of the Linux Mint system (which I try to keep up to date as far as update manager goes). I've just tentatively updated to the latest version on one laptop which I intend to make an image for storage once it settles a bit using imageforlinux which I find very useful. I have a saved image of my older Linux Mint on a hardrive (I think it's Victoria or something with a V) which has been great and keeps me from experiencing disaster day again when I lose everything. I'm not anywhere near to your level of expertise but I love hearing of your brave adventures. Thanks.
