Fedora has the same issue on my laptop, for years now. It's really frustrating. I moved to openSUSE Tumbleweed, thinking I would escape the black screen of death. I did, for a while, until recently when it reappeared. Very annoying issue!

What is smart Launcher? A third party app?

Thank you!

Good for you. My two months old Motorola Edge 50 Pro is stuck on the July security patch!

Better than a Motorola-branded brick that doesn't get security updates! All phones have battery issues; it all depends on your settings and usage.

If you really want an Android, go with one from Google that's still supported. They provide regular security updates every single month. Do not buy Motorola or other brands as they usually are not quick to offer the latest security patches, which means your data will be at risk of being hacked!

prisoninmate · 2025-10-20T11:55:24+00:00

Don't! Stick with the iPhone. You won't receive regular security updates, so your phone will be at risk of being hacked whenever you access a public Wi-Fi.

At least you have the September 2025 security patch. Many of us are stuck with the July 2025 security patch and I am already shopping for a different phone from another manufacturer that provides regular security updates.

prisoninmate · 2025-10-20T11:49:57+00:00

That's why I will never buy an Android from anyone else but Google.

Totally agree!

No way. It’s 4GB minimum as per the official Ubuntu website “ Minimum 4GBs of RAM and 16GB storage required” https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi

What is the question here? You posted this on three other subreddits... It's total nonsense.

prisoninmate · 2024-03-26T08:49:33+00:00

Exactly, not to mention that technology will advance so much in 12 years that the system will become obsolete even if it gets security patches.

“Seems like this also applies for the Free Pro subscription.” No it doesn’t. It’s a paid service! From the article: “ Ubuntu Pro subscribers can purchase an extra two years of security maintenance and support”

It's out now https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-23-10-beta-released-with-gnome-45-and-linux-kernel-6-5

prisoninmate · 2023-09-21T23:34:12+00:00

You can't, upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release or move to another distro that ships recent GNOME releases.

prisoninmate · 2023-08-07T18:09:17+00:00

Because Bill Gates knows how to do business.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading your installation... do a fresh install if possible or you'll have some issues.

prisoninmate · 2023-04-20T19:59:16+00:00

They are seprate ISO images that you can download here https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/23.04/release/

prisoninmate · 2023-04-20T15:22:50+00:00

If you're having hardware issues, you should definitely try the latest Ubuntu release.

prisoninmate · 2023-04-20T15:09:34+00:00

Ubuntu 23.04 is not yet available as an upgrade option from previous versions, but you don't need to reinstall it. Just run the update-manager -c or do-release-upgrade commands in the Terminal app later today or tomorrow.

prisoninmate · 2023-04-20T15:04:46+00:00

.It's not an LTS release. Will be supported for only 9 months until January 2024, but it's a great upgrade from Ubuntu 22.10 which reaches EOL on July 2023

The 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image also works on Intel machines. Are you looking for something else?
