  • I’m not a Kubuntu expert or even user, so I will just list op the general steps.

    Boot into the live USB and unlock the encrypted drive. Make sure you have an internet connection too. Then chroot (change root) into the OS drive you decrypted and look at the logs from last update or even boot logs if posisble to determine what went wrong during the update. If possible fix the issue and complete a full update again (apt update & apt upgrade). Hopefully that should fix it.

    Does your PC have any known hardware that requires proprietary drivers, like Nvidia or Broadcom?

    Just to clarify. You system is not bricked. Bricked means that it can’t boot anything. It sounds like the update is not working correctly (eg the kernel is not fully loading).

    You have two options:

    1. Try to repair the current broken install (can be difficult depending on skill level)
    2. Backup your data and “nuke’n’pave”, eg re-install it all.

    Both options require a live USB with your distro on it (preferably the new version).







  • It’s a matter of opinion and lots of it depends on your preferences.

    Github: Where most developers are and therefore has the best network effect. Easy for new contributors. Gitlab: Got some traction after Microsoft bought Github, but is very similar, just not as popular. Codeberg: Completely open source (I believe) it’s the option with most respect for your privacy. Lacks the network effect until fediverse integration is complete, which I do believe the platform is working on. Cgit: A very simple git repository viewer. You can’t do anything from it, except see the repository. Some big projects use this, like the kernel.

    There are more options, but some gets very specific after this.
