you can usually try a live version of the distro your aiming for to see how it behaves on your hardware. no need to repartition anything that way.

thanks, i tried it at some point and i just reinstalled it to have a look but it doesn’t seem to have a rain radar (unless it is hidden somewhere). i am looking for a map like this:

how would i know if Kubuntu 25.10 is affected (based on ubuntu)?
i guess this means yes?
command 'snap' from deb snapd (2.73+ubuntu25.10.1)
as it is lower than the version mentioned in the article “Upstream snapd: versions prior to 2.75”

now the question is how do i force an update on that thing?
sudo apt upgrade did not include an update for snapd:

edit:
i tried sudo apt install snapd but it returned:

snapd is already the newest version (2.73+ubuntu25.10.1).
snapd set to manually installed.

edit2:
or am i save because of this?:

Ubuntu 25.10 LTS: snapd versions prior to 2.73+ubuntu25.10.1

have a look at the de-googled android roms too (like crdroid and lineage os), would guarantee for a much wider selection of devices. unless you have a use case which mandates linux.

i use öffi for public transportation, maybe there’s something similar for your region? or maybe your region is already included, check here: https://oeffi.schildbach.de/

i am not in the usa and it is working for me

a video about the situation for those not in the know: https://youtu.be/EegnxkJeDx0

i tried endeavor os at some point but didn’t like it (don’t remember specifics). and i am not keen on kubuntu…

here it lists cpu’s dating back to “Intel 4th Gen Core (Haswell)”:

thanks! nobody on the cachy forums brought this up. what would this mean for a different kernel? would switching to the arch kernel fix/circumvent this?

it’s an 8th gen i5 8500

but conflicts still halt for user input

i never understood this behavior. starting a large data transfer only to come back an hour later to find it halted at 5% due to some conflict. why not put those files at the end of the queue and resume with the rest?

It detects conflicts, and lets you decide what to do.

does it continue to sync the rest on conflict or does it halt for user input?
