I'm really enjoying #Ubuntu, but the single most annoying thing is that a number of apps are blurry to the point of being unusable, thanks to fractional scaling. I believe it's a Wayland issue. 😟

Anyone know of a fix?

So it turns out that rotavating (tilling) is really bloody hard work!

|

Another beautiful day in north Wales. Today's plan is to get on the 60 year old rotavator that I recently repaired, and chop up some grass ready for planting wild flowers in one of the fields. 🌷🌹đŸŒģđŸĒģ

I love this time of year.

|

There are few things more enjoyable than the first coffee of the day. ☕

|

End of an era. 🙁

|

There are definitely worse places to spend your lunch.

|

The fact that there is no discover emoji on Micro.blog for technology is very disappointing. 😟 It seems like such an obvious one to include. đŸ’ģī¸

Beautiful moth I just found on the wall. Never seen one this colour before.

|

I hate getting new prescription glasses - it always takes me a few days of wearing them for my eyes to adjust to being able to see properly again. 🤓

|

Most of the time it's motorbikes up on my lift, but every now and then weird stuff make their way on there too, like this 60 year old soil tiller...

|

Traffic is awful round here.

|

So I recently took my #Motorbike in for it's first service and while there, they gave me this absolute BEAST to take out for a few hours.

Very similar to my bike except it's 200bhp instead of 170bhp. Beautiful machine.

|

I need to get out with the dogs before the temperature rises from "the surface of mercury" to "the surface oft he sun".

The furballs can't handle the heat.

|

So I've been running #Ubuntu for the last couple days and I have to say, it's been great. Very stable and no real issues to talk of. Snaps are still a bit shit, but a couple of commands later and I have Flatpak support.

Question - does Ubuntu shit the bed entirely if you remove Snaps all together?

|

Um, when did the #Ubuntu image become 6GB???

|

The can is open and there are worms everywhere. đŸ¤ĻđŸŧâ€â™‚ī¸đŸĒąđŸĒąđŸĒą

(buds were free on an offer, I didn't really need them as my Sony ones are fine.)

|

It was all going so well with #Fedora until I connected my external monitor via USB C. It's absolutely will NOT stay connected. Works perfectly in Windows and MacOS, just plug an play. I'm about done with Linux, I think - I don't have time for this shit.

|

Continuing with #Fedora and quite enjoying it. There are still some frustrations though:

  • Fingerprint reader doesn't work very well.

  • Auto screen dimming is horrendous - there's no smooth transitions and is very jarring (turned it off).

  • LibreOffice is ugly AF. Replaced with OnlyOffice.

  • I cant set a background on my login screen. It's just grey, which is a bit shit.

All small things though.

Finallyyyyyyyy 🎉🎉
