I just want my OS to work with minimal interaction from me. Right now I’m trying to study and get better at Julia and Python/pandas and that can occupy enough of my time right now. And after that…maybe docker. There’s always plenty to learn. That’s what I want to spend my time studying…NOT OS’s. Not Mint or Manjaro or Arch. Only Mint manages to do this year after year. I use a OS to study these and other topics…NOT the OS!!!!!! So OK Manjaro kind of screwed up so I’ll just bounce over to my backup distro and continue right? Noooo…once again Mint is crippled I think because Manjaro likes to fiddle with grub. I understand when the Kernel is updated it needs to update grub. But just use what’s already in grub.cfg for my other OS’s…no need to try and figure it out…just use what’s already there! I’ve mostly gone about 6+ months on Manjaro without many big problems. So that is progress.
Was nervous because this was a big update, almost 2GB of updates and 450 packages.At the very least offer smaller chuncks to update.
So when I reboot my 4 virtual desktops aren’t coming back and no menu bar. My cube only has only 1 side. Not sure it is update related. Because that baloo cpu hog is running and also kwin_x11 is using 97.3-100%. So I restart and that baloo crap is running again. Finally I do a complete shutdown/restart and x11 progs no longer cpu greedy, and my desktop looks more normal, however the baloo crap resumes with it’s own resource hog ways.
Choose to boot Mint in grub and screen resolution screwed up…suspect grub again!
