Thanks for the tip-off. Not heard of it, it will check it out.

The experience of 24.04 feels incomplete and lacking when compared to the well established desktop of 22.04 with their fantastic UX modifications. I don’t recall thinking, I wish 22.04 could do this or that. The 24.04 experience had me wishing for customisation features that don’t exist (last tried two weeks ago).

As an example, I love the 22.04 theming, wouldn’t change a thing. In 24.04, I appreciate that I can set rounded, semi-round or square corners, but I don’t want that applied everywhere. I want my toggle switches rounded and window corners semi-round, like 22.04. I think it just comes down to theming customisations really. I couldn’t increase mouse pointer size either. They all feel like things that can and will probably be fixed/added in future, or by a Cosmic Tweaks type app. I’m not ready to accept it in the current form. Turning my back on the best experience in 22.04 to an unsatisfactory experience is what will keep me on 22.04 for the foreseeable future.

It feels like I’ve enjoyed Coke for years and now somebody is trying to convince me Coke Zero is better. Less sugar is obviously better, but it doesn’t taste the same, it’s not Coke.

I’m not surprised by this at all. I tried 24.04 and found it lacked what attracted me to 22.04. It had some great new features, but overall the 22.04 experience is better. I’ll keep trying it though, still early days.

We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun.

I’m unsure at what point after expiry it might land at auction, so may not be a useful route at this early stage.
