Gonna upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 24.04… expecting that, like everything else I have done on this laptop involving Ubuntu, I am going to regret this

    I like how GNOME looks better than KDE, but it just has so many strange unnecessary quirks!

    Case in point:

    • If you have a touchscreen, simply touching the screen will often bring up an on-screen keyboard.
    • This will cause all windows to move upward to make room for it.
    • But when the keyboard moves back down, the windows don't move back down, often leaving them half-offscreen and stuck.
    • You can't turn this "feature" off.
    • There's a GNOME extension to force it off, but it breaks in 24.04.

    Now, you'd think a solution would be "so don't touch the screen", but every hardware designer has been bizarrely obsessed with "all bezels must be as small as possible" for the last decade or so so it's actually very difficult to adjust the screen position on my laptop without touching the screen briefly

    Oh

    Oh hey, about 24 hours after upgrading Ubuntu I finally found the thing that broke. It was—

    —are you ready? are you ready, I'm going to say the line—

    My Python environment is broken
