Ubuntu 16.04 buggy as fuck

Install Gentoo.

Upgrade to 16.10?

>>58834512

16.04 is LTS, upgrading shouldn't be nescessary.

I also had problems with DPI stuff with 16.04 so I didn't bother upgrading from 14.04

Windows 7 with Retina Display © doesn't have this problem.

Fine. Stay on your buggy version.

Emacs, compilers and i3wm works fine, that's all I need. Ricing is the ultimate cancer

Linux is buggy. Just go back to W10 if you want to be comfy.

>>58833725
You're typing, it just doesn't reveal the "*" characters in case someone is looking over your shoulder. At least that's how it used to work.

>W10 is not buggy
This is so true XD

>>58834583
Why wouldn't you think they fixed some bugs with a newer version?

>>58833725
Why do you need to encrypt your OS partition? Have a separate/encrypted /home, /temp, /usr, /var but leave /boot and / unencrypted.

>>58834512
With full-disk encryption I couldn't get it to work... at all. Would boot to a purple screen and then if I hit ESC it would turn black.

>>58834594
I thought that too, but I found out after looking more into it that Ubuntu isn't capturing keyboard input at all. (can't hit ESC to get into console, and if i hit the caps lock button the light doesn't illuminate etc)

>>58833823
Ironically this
>>58834512
Unironically this

>>58833725
Strange, never heard of that happening. Are you using some weird keyboard or other input device by any chance?

i like ubuntu but i never use disk encryption on my system partition. if you only encrypt home folder anything in there is inaccessible and messes with the rest of system.

i would recommend asking on ubuntu forums. they're helpful for identifying "ubuntu" way of doing things.

also 16.04.2 was delayed until feb 9th :(

Post video card and what driver you're using

it's most likely the freetard driver which never works. Use the proprietary one or if you don't care about games, use a fallback like xvesa

Just install Windows and stop with autism.

using a WASD V2 and a Roccat Kone XTD. I wanted to try using a PS/2 keyboard or this keyboard with an adaptor, but I can't find either :(

Hm. I think I will

>>58837619
Do you have dual gpu like optimus? some laptops crash with this on even on windows for me. You can select in bios to use one or the other or both

shot shit sherlock

I once encrypted my Ubuntu partition and it also encrypted my Windows 8.1 LMAO.
