You can spend a lot of time trying to fix a broken installation (or in this case pair two installations down to one) but it's often faster to do a clean install (and you'll generally get a more...

Hi,
make sure you really need to update the bios, if it goes wrong you can brick your motherboard.
F15c and F15a for your board are beta (that's what the letter says with gigabyte), F14 is the...

This might be muddying the waters (I haven't followed the detail of announcements), but I'm wondering if Wayland is, generally speaking, *not* the default if you have an Nvidia driver:

Hi Yancek, thanks I'll try that.

Thanks everyone, useful messages here (avoid snaps, Wayland, releases < xx.04.01).
The more I use 22.04 the more annoyances I find (even emacs is gimped).
