There are a pile of updates sitting in Discover. While there are security updates and patches, there are also a ton of updates to Plasma.

To this point on Ubuntu, I’ve not installed anything past security updates. In the past, on Fedora, I had at least one major update hose my system so bad that I had to reinstall and turn off updates just to keep things running.

This isn’t Fedora and, as I’ve mentioned, Ubuntu seems to be more… mature? I don’t know how else to describe it.

Based on that, I’m going to run these updates. Even the Plasma ones.

I’ll update here as to what happens. If you don’t see something in the next couple days, assume I’m reinstalling.

Update: Well, that was a whole lot of worrying about nothing. Everything updated quickly and painlessly. Nice :)

… Side note, my Razer Deathadder V2 Pro shit the bed. It won’t connect at all, even wired, Windows or Linux. It just sits there with a solid blue logo. Searching the internet for causes/fixes is like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m just going to let the battery drain right out and see what happens.

Update: battery drained. Logo went blank. Plugged it in. Seems to be working. Hope it stays that way. I love Deathadder mice as they’re just perfect ergonomically – I’ve tried a bunch of different mice and the Deathadder is, for me, the best.
