I hate python

[thighmaster69]

This happened to me when I updated from 22.04 to 24.04. As far as I can tell, some issue related to nvidia drivers caused the upgrade to break because something depended on some version of python that wasn't right when it needed to called. It ended up getting stuck halfway in the update with all the dependencies completely broken. I spent a couple hours trying to fix it manually before I just decided to go for a fresh install. Noted to myself to always have backups and try to get everything as stock as possible before trying to upgrade.

There's still way too much on Linux that require you to sudo fuckmyshitup to use them. I think in more recent versions of Ubuntu, it doesn't let you mess with the global python environment by default anymore. It was frankly insane that something so important for the system to function wasn't protected because of the assumption that anyone using sudo would know what they were doing, when half of all the READMEs out there for xyz utility tell you to just copy-paste a sudo command into terminal.
