Do I find Fedora Linux Buggy Or Unstable?

The last Windows operating system I used is XP and although it isn't
buggy or unstable, security is far and wide atrocious. The first 15 
minutes of using XP, my personal computer PC is already infected by
malware and virus but as long as you don't connect to the Internet 
you're okay. That was 2001.

I have used Debian, Ubuntu and OpenSuse since 2007, hopping from
one distribution to the other as long as I can find a spare PC or laptop.
I really have settled on Fedora for personal taste and preferences. I
like GNOME and Fedora brings GNOME fresh to my PC. Of course it 
wasn't love at first sight a few releases back. Fedora's installer 
needed work and important repos like for the NVIDIA drivers and 
proprietary music and video codecs are difficult to enable. It wasn't 
for somebody who's just starting out his journey in Linux land. 

Since then, open source graphics drivers have changed the world for
me. I don't hunt for drivers nowadays. Printers and scanners seemed 
to work like magic when I connect to a LAN. I find it surprising that
co-workers who are using Macs and Windows laptops are unable to
detect printers when my laptop can. That's a marked switch of places.

No I don't find Fedora Linux unstable. If you need something that's 
more unchanging, you can try other distributions like Debian's stable 
channel. I like the way Fedora has changed my attitude towards 
system updates. Since using Fedora (starting with 20) every update
has made my system happier. i look to the next update like it's
breakfast. Yes I do it everyday. Now compare that to what Microsoft
is doing with the big Windows 10 update coming up.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
