 I almost ditched Ubuntu for Fedora, almost. Before we get into it, a word from our sponsor, which is nobody. And I actually do this in my free time. And if I'm able to do this in my free time, it's only because I don't have a part-time job. And if I don't have that, it's because people donate to the channel. So if you want to make my videos go and allow me to go on working for KDE, please consider making a donation. And that was actually, let's get to the video. So what happened with Ubuntu? Some trouble stuff. So as a good YouTuber, I was preparing to do videos, beautiful content. I wanted to showcase in this channel a couple of things. Only Kepilon, I think it's called OS, but also a material theme that actually got the colors from the background in KDE and set the accent color and the color of the windows to the color in the background, which is like incredible cool. What's the issue? So I did Kepilon first, I installed it through a dev file, and then I went on with material file, and it had a script to be downloaded. Let me show you. It's this one, it has a GitHub, and I quickly, we can see it here, I quickly so that it had this install Ubuntu base, which I thought, okay, that's what I want. I glanced through it, and so it was reasonable, the only weird thing, not weird, but the only issue is this command here, apt install python3, python3dboost, python3 numpy. I thought, okay, that's fine. I already have those packages actually, but when I run this on this command, apt said, okay, in order to install those three packages, you need to, and then it listed hundreds of packages, it says, this hundred of packages are to be out removed, these hundred of packages are to be installed, these hundreds of packages are to be removed, and I was like, that's weird, but you know, I was in university, I was following class, and I didn't pay attention, and so, you know, apt whatever, and that was a mistake, never, ever just say apt whatever, never press why, if you don't know what's happening, because everything went badly. As you can guess easily, the hundreds of packages to be removed were actually pretty important, and it was basically any package that I had installed on my computer. Luckily, apt didn't manage to uninstall them all for real, it uninstalled a bunch of them, and then it tried to uninstall Dell drivers for the computer, and it gave an error on those, because they can't be uninstalled. So I saw the error, and I thought, okay, that's bad, something went pretty bad. Thankfully, I mean, I tried to run the command manually, and I saw a lot of dependency issues, I thought, okay, let's just run a quick whatever, like apt fix install, or even install dash f, there's a lot of ways to fix those kind of things. When I tried to do fix install, I received another apt wall of text with hundreds of packages to be completely removed from the system. And I quickly gave a look, and it was like, gnomeshell, xserver, x11, I was like, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. And I tried some solutions, but half of apt commands were actually not working, because Python 3 apt library was already removed from the system. So half of apt stuff actually relies on Python 3, Python 3 apt library, and everything was broken. And this is when I opened up Twitter, I went to my account, and I panicked. So this is the error that I had when I tried to install anything. And you can see that it's like, hundreds of packages, I only showed some of them, which is like, it is not going to be installed, sadly. Okay. What's apt fixing? This is the output of apt fix. And you can see that the following packages will be removed. And let me zoom in on them. We've got here stuff like xat, xorg, xr desktop, xserver, xorg, YouTube DL, and then Python 3 pi QTE, or, I don't know, orca or even a lot of libraries of KDE. And I was like, no, no. So I tried to fix it. And I spent some hours on this. And I just couldn't, I just couldn't. Now, I was incredibly impressed by just how many people actually came out and helped me. I'm not used to people just trying to help me like this. And many replies, many suggestions. I gave none of them quite worked. And eventually, a lot of people just said, switch to arc, which I was not going to do. I'm not going to switch to arc, sorry. But a lot of people also say try out fedora. And I was like, okay, let's try out fedora. Then if you if Ubuntu is broken, it's broken. So what I did is I popped up USB, this one, and I installed Fedora. Because I mean, what do you want to do? Ubuntu is broken. I need Ubuntu to work. So in Fedora, I installed a little attack editor or BS. And I started taking notes. And by the way, it was pretty good. I really liked Fedora. The experience, the GNOME 42 was, I tried it and it was really awesome. So I was happy, but I wasn't too happy because, you know, all of my configs were still on Ubuntu. So I thought about just switching to Fedora completely. At this point, I had a dual booted, mind you, not actually removed Ubuntu yet. And but I thought, okay, all of my stuff is on Ubuntu, I'm not able to switch the entire my entire folder over because too many files in it. And actually transferring the configs is going to take weeks. And this is not something that I wanted to do. So I thought, okay, no, let's give it one last shot to fix Ubuntu. So I came back, I read emails, and I actually received a nice suggestion that was read the apt log and see if you forgot about something you did. So I read the log. And initially I thought that I didn't do anything weird because I mean, I just tried to install Python 3. I mean, the script tried to install Python 3. And how is installing Python 3 a bad thing? And that's when reading the backlog, I realized I had forgotten about Kapilon OS. So what's Kapilon OS? Which, by the way, I'm not going to showcase any more in this channel. Sorry. That's it. It destroyed my computer. So I saw this, I thought, okay, seems an interesting project. I want to try this. We've got desktop builds. And we've got images of this Kapilon OS running inside of a window. So I thought they had actually packaged Kapilon OS to be able to be run similarly to other desktops inside of, you know, as if it was an application just to test it and try it out. So there was this. You can download the latest Debian package here. So I went here and I just installed the first link, which was a bad idea. I mean, Debian 64 package, I mean, that's not how you should do things. So what this package did is trouble things. Unluckily, that's the best I can describe them as because I'm in no way an expert on how app it works. I just know that everything broke after this step. So I thought, okay, okay, if it's Kapilon's fault, then I just can uninstall it, right? So I run a DPKG purge Kapilon. It worked. And I run fix missing. And finally, all of the I'm going to remove your entire system messages disappeared. And I actually got some sane ones saying you're missing like half of the packages. How is that happening? Let me download them again. So I run a pretty fix missing saying to myself, finally, it's over. And in that moment, my computer died. Like, it all went black from one moment to another. Why? Because what I didn't know is that yesterday or maybe even the day before that was the day that the new Ubuntu beta released. And I actually had already enabled impish repositories. So when I run fix missing, some things were updated from the new Ubuntu beta, some things were not. And it also decided to remove everything just, you know, it installed a lot of things. But just for sure, it removed a lot of other things, probably including Gax server and gnomeshell. So it wasn't even booting up anymore. So of course, I grabbed the USB stick. I went through a live use installation. And then I crouted CH routed into the system, as one would do, I mean, and then I just ran an pseudo apt dist upgrade comment. It took a bit. Finally, at the end, I rebooted and I was greeted by my operating system actually working Ubuntu, but the wrong wallpaper. And let me actually show you this because it's such a weird outcome, but it's the only bad thing that happened out of this whole situation. I mean, I still miss a couple of packages, but I mean, whatever. Right now I'm on the light theme. If I switch to the dark theme, the wallpaper changes. But what, why would I want this wallpaper on light and the default one on dark? I mean, I understand the idea of dynamic wallpapers, but those are usually served by the desktop or by the distro. They're not user customizable. So I cannot create my own dynamic wallpaper just by changing the wallpaper. And what? By the way, this wallpaper is super cool. I think it's the first Ubuntu wallpaper that I truly like. And another thing I was greeted by, since, you know, I upgraded the factor to the latest Ubuntu beta is now I'm onto GNOME 42. By default, this is GNOME 42, which is why you've seen the light and dark trends. I mean, technically speaking, it is a feature that you can apply separate wallpapers to the dark and light theme. But the fact is that I had this wallpaper while using the dark theme. So that was the weird thing. So what am I going to do now is remove Fedora complete. I am sorry Fedora. I truly think that it's an interesting project that one day I will try out enjoying it. But right now, everything I own is in this Ubuntu system. And you know, it's really, really hard to make this switch from one day to another when I have so much homework and so much videos to do. I hope that you will understand me.
