You're free to start a web site (elsewhere of course) of whatever flavour you choose.
People winge here about Windows issues, so I'm not sure why Ubuntu/Linux issues shouldn't get a winge or two as well. Maybe just mark your post in the Lounge as a Rant, as long as your post is a rant, wherein you vent your spleen on whatever horror you're expected to deal with. E.G. "Last update removed 'Focus Follows Mouse' and I'm steamed about it" or some such.
Of course, your issue may not be a Ubuntu issue so much as a difficulty groking something from the Ubuntu/Linux mindset. Someone might be able to help you with that, or point you to a path of enlightenment.
Depending on the issue to hand, maybe a post in "Weird and Wonderful", might be appropriate?
There's always your blog, of course. As long as it's not outright advertising, and I assume it remains KSS, I think you can post whatever you like there. Not sure if anyone will see it, but maybe just posting something, somewhere would be cathartic and serve it's purpose.

I guess I could just try and see if I get banned here.
Long story
my better half required emergency medical help.
It went OK, she has recovered.
Next day I open my Ubuntu and try to connect to my boombox,
Ubuntu Bluetooth manager listed both
EMT PC and my boombox.
Yes - Ubuntu Bluetooth "manager" does not bother to physicality check for Bluetooth device , just gets the list from some unknown database.
That was several Ubuntu releases ago and it still does it - list a device which no longer exists.
In addition - if the device does exists , it gets connected on boot, then promptly automatically disconnected and has to be removed with usual "are you sure ?" before it gets identified, and still not connected.
Apparently I am not the only one impressed with Ubuntu Bluetooth -
somebody referred to Ubuntu Bluetooth implementation as
"rabbit hole"...
Cheers - end of rant

Don't worry... when we find it, we'll send it to you per post.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm glad I have two fallout machines. my lappy is still pre-update. Fallout 4 update broke F4SE at least temporarily. F4SE uses injection techniques to modify the in memory footprint of the fallout executable in order to extend it. You can then write mods for the game that take advantage of those extensions, and many authors do.
As a mod author, the update caused me some anxiety. I wasn't sure what all it would break. Fortunately my major mod (High Level Perks) survived the update, but my Brews mod will no longer work until F4SE is updated. Overall it could have been much worse.
For me though, the real pain is in playing. I can no longer uncap my framerates past 60 without breaking the game (120FPS runs twice as fast in game  ) That not only means I went from 240FPS to 60FPS in game (it matters) my loading screens are framerate capped as well and thus take 5 times as long as they used to cap at 350FPS.
Anyone else play? How do you feel about the update?

My seven years old Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook is now showing it's age too, some keys around WASD are getting unresponsive and the power cable is broken where it connects to the laptop (a known problem with old Dell 130 W power bricks).
Ordered a new power brick and a new Dell Inspiron 16 with an AMD 5 Ryzen processor that was on offer for a ludicrous low price.
Not really a gaming notebook, but as I'm not playing any demanding 3D games lately that won't be much of a problem.
What I'm not certain about is whether the AMD version of the Dell Inspiron 16 notebook will support a QHD monitor via the USB-C port, in the specs it only says "Display port supported".

You can probably play fallout 4 on that little beast. It has enjoyed a significant resurgence in popularity due to the show.
It's a very immersive game, and was built such that the community could modify and extend the game, and they do. after almost 9 years the mod collection is vast.
I don't play anything else, as I'm not a gamer as such. Fallout 4 is different, especially since it scratches the development itch since I started making mods (the game is scriptable)

I'm a fan of Bethesda games too, mainly the Elder Scrolls series from Morrowind up to Skyrim.
Maybe when I'm retired I will try Fallout too

No issues up to now. (I don't really care about framerates)
I disabled most of the mods for the time being until they get checked/updated.
