I’m a little teapot 🫖
Looks like someone fucked up package dependencies somewhere.
I’m surprised they don’t have some basic automated testing running in a VM after new package releases but I suppose they don’t need it if they can farm that duty out to their free userbase.
I feel seen and it’s unpleasant
So does this mean my open source project CI/CD pipeline is a step towards fully automated luxury gay space communism?
Why not just use something like Synergy so you can control both machines from the mouse+kb at your desktop? Just enable the software when you need to and you can move the mouse off the edge of the screen and onto the other machine as if it were a second monitor. That’s what I do with laptop + desktop setups. Get a small cheap Ethernet switch so you can plug both machines in.
I don’t even need passively cooled, solid state airjet cooling would be perfect for a <20W arm machine.
ASUS machines have solidly good Linux support these days thanks to the asus-linux community effort. Any of their newer machines (~2021-2023) will fulfill your ask. I’ve had a good experience with the 2021 g15 and the 2022 X16 - I’m using the X16 as a work laptop right now.

They’re also completely missing the point of distro kernel trees. Stable automatically selects patches from mainline (largely by keyword, and often without kernel developer feedback or involvement) and consequently has a massive amount of code churn and very little validation beyond shipping releases and waiting for regression reports. Distro trees are the buffer where actual testing happens before release. As a long term stable user it really isn’t suitable for end user or enterprise consumption unless you have your own in house validation process to test releases for regressions before deployment. Even running stable on client machines (desktops, laptops) leads to a bad time every few weeks when something sneaks in that breaks functionality.

If they’re proactive about taking patches this will really help reduce issues with the dkms driver
I mean, Canonical is a for profit company so I’m not sure what anyone was expecting. Ubuntu had its moment in the sun where it was considered the newbie friendly Linux distro for free users but now they’re going pretty hard for corporate customers and enterprise features. Which is fine, they need money to stay afloat and some enterprises are into them so more power to them - they contribute a lot of time and money to various Linux projects. They’re the Debian derived redhat equivalent these days and that’s okay, if they pivot too far in their own interest people will just stop using their distro.
Gnomes workflow is a big departure from windows, but with its gesture navigation on a trackpad, I think it’s a highly superior way to use a laptop. My desktop gets KDE Plasma, but if I had a laptop it would use gnome
+1, GNOME dumps the whole desktop and taskbar thing in favor of gestures and the overview. Once you get a feel for it I think it’s honestly a lot more usable than traditional taskbar and desktop icon GUIs.
Honestly anything shipping a MATE desktop edition would be good too. MATE is similar enough to windows that most people get it pretty quickly.
Man they’re ahead of schedule, GTK3 isn’t even obsolete yet
This is something in the libva/mesa hardware acceleration stack
Something is broken in your hardware acceleration stack, I’d check out the verification and troubleshooting sections here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration.
The tiny excerpt from VLC you’ve included doesn’t give us enough info to see what’s broken but taking a wild stab at it I’d guess it’s libva, mesa or a regression in amdgpu. Take a look at the system journal (and user journal) as well as the VLC log, something in the library stack is probably throwing a more useful error than we’ve seen yet.
