Going to upgrade my desktop Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04, fingers crossed nothing breaks
Upgrade complete but the docked applications launcher I had at the bottom of the screen is gone and I don't remember if it was an extra thing I installed or what. Does anyone have any pointers
Okay it was a gnome extension called "simple dock" and it was amazing and it isn't working right now for some reason.

Alright, had to download it and install from source, the Gnome extensions website doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore.

Now just need to figure out the terrible new font Ubuntu comes with

I set it back to Ubuntu Regular. Why did Ubuntu switch away from the Ubuntu font, I do not know
Okay, I had to remove all Ruby gems and reinstall them because the native extensions needed to be recompiled

@Gargron they moved away? to what?

I've been using Canatrell since it plays nice on smaller screens (rather ones with HiDPI)

@jalcine I think it was Canatrell, it started with C and had an r with it but I didn't bother to read it properly

@Gargron
Sometimes source can be a pain for me, but I do love most of what is Ubuntu. Have Ubuntu Mate, Peppermint OS and Kubuntu on one large desktop. Then Chromebooks.

Love Linux.

Dash to dock GNOME Shell extension

A dock for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash out of the overview transforming it in a dock for an easier launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and workspaces.

@Gargron Did you used Ubuntu Tweak or such, it gives you different menus to use.
@Gargron
I know Ubuntu Mate has quite a few ways to alter the menus and dockets. Kubuntu has so many ways to do things through its Plasma offerings it can sometimes make my head swim. LOL. Kubuntu is an amazing desktop though, but I keep it simple. Peppermint OS is just fast and easy.

@Gargron the only thing that broke when I upgraded any of my machines to Bionic was that sshd wouldn't start on what because I told it not to update the config file because I thought I could check it later

So, nothing that could go wrong on a desktop you have physical access to, at least that I've experienced.

@Gargron Ubuntu always have problems on upgrade..
@Gargron I'd probably just back up my files and do a fresh install
@Gargron went smooth for me on all systems but back-up, back-up, test recovery and back-up!

@Gargron I've been on Windows with VMs for the last few years, because wrangling Linux video drivers was too much for me.

are you playing Overwatch on Ubuntu? How is the driver situation these days?

@Gargron upgrade to Arch Linux
