Can my programs & operating system not break every day? please?
>IT JUST WERKS
So this is the linux experience you faggots talk about
No different than the Windows experience, except Canonical's kind enough to ask your permission, instead of spying on you even when you say to don't send a report.
ubuntu has always been shit. use debian or mint, faggot.

what exactly is the problem?
I get such a notification whenever I start Xubuntu too (hasn't happened with regular Ubuntu)
otherwise it works flawlessly
Installing Xfce right when they made the change to GTK3. You should've install Kubuntu or better yet Manjaro KDE
It's because the error report have never been sent, just disable apport if you don't want to use it
f apport is currently active you can disable it by editing...
sudo nano /etc/default/apport
and follow the comments:
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
# you can temporarily override this with
# sudo service apport start force_start=1
enabled=1
Set it to 0.
Lubuntu 19.04 does not have this problem.
it is not a problem it's a feature
>sudo nano
stop running huge programs like nano as root, use sudoedit instead
I get why Debian, but Mint?
For Debian it's just Debian
For Ubuntu it's Debian raped into Ubuntu
But for Mint it's Debian raped into Ubuntu raped into Mint
So how possibly can Mint be better? Yeah there's LMDE but at this point the Ubuntu-based releases are the mainstream and LMDE is just an afterthought.
serves u right for using non lts
Once cinnamon makes its way into an official ubuntu flavor, mint will become utterly pointless as a distribution. Don't get me wrong, the mint folks were the driving force behind two very nice DEs (mate and cinnamon), but the distros as a whole offer nothing to the user that ubuntu does not already.
Works for me.
Maybe they've added idiot detection in latest Ubuntu.
also: use KDE, from ppa
>ubuntu is shit
>use mint
based on ubuntu
Though for Xfce, Mint Xfce is nicer than Xubuntu
Install Cinnamon Mint
That's what I mean bro. Mint does great work on DEs, but at this point it does not need to be a separate distro (unless they do a complete switch to vanilla debian as a base).
If this is a brand new install on an old device, most likely this error is actually a problem with your hardware.
Use popOS
God what a board full of brainlets
First of all, that error appears when a program is killed because the OS ran out of RAM
I don't remember if the automatic killing of a process is done by the kernel or not but it's generally disabled whenever you create and enable a swap partition or file which OP probably did not set when prompted to managed his partitions and just filled the automatic partitioning circle and pressed continue
TL;DR PEBKAC

WTF are you on about? you seem to be vaguely rambling about the OOM killer with lots of misinformation.
This message occurs whenever there are error messages being logged by the operating system. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including bad configuration, broken apt, failing hardware or known bugs in software. OP needs to click "Show Details" to know the exact reason.
Now back to the OOM killer. How that actually works is that whenever the system runs out of usable memory (OOM = out of memory), the kernel essentially kills a random process (well it's not exactly random). This can cause you to lose work, or even completely crash the machine. Adding a swap can reduce this from happening, but if your swap gets full it will still happen. Swap is just extra memory. On most distros, automatic partitioning will actually create a swap, however if you have over 8GB RAM, I would actually discourage the use of a swap, because swap can cause excessive wear on SSD's, can cause sensitive data like passwords to get written in clear text to HDD's, and is slow AF anyway, so you should only create one if you are a RAMlet. Best setup is 16GB RAM, and zswap just in case. Zswap compresses unused memory, if you fill up your RAM, zswap compresses rarely used pages. It essentially gives you a swap that is about 20-30% the size of your RAM, without ruining your privacy/ssd's and slowing the fuck out of your PC. It's a decent "backup" for people who have enough RAM.
Did you ever try to open the event viewer on a seemingly fine running windows installation? It is fucking stuffed with "critical" red symbols and other ! shit and error logs/reports. Just because they hide how much shit goes wrong doesn't mean it runs fine. There is a reason windows gets slower and slower the longer you use it.
