  • There are certain types of rubber/plastic that do this when they degrade, as others have mentioned. I had a small HDD with a rubberized coating on it and rubbing alcohol started to speed it’s degradation and it was a horrific mess. I also had a rubber mallet from a discount tool store that started to stink so bad, and it too was sticky and degrading. And (oh, you thought I was done…) I had some small Rubbermaid totes that I purchased at Walmart over 15 years ago that started to feel greasy and sticky when I touched them. I washed all of them multiple times until I realized the plastic was not cured and was breaking down. At least those did not stink. They only lasted 1 year before that happened.










  • I have (am on) used Kubuntu daily for over 10+ years and it’s a very mature, easy desktop. I use an LTS only. I tried Neon (wanted to love it) but Kubuntu was just ready to go for my needs. Also, I uninstalled Snap because I don’t use it and hate it. I prefer AppImages when necessary. I always suggest Kubuntu especially to people who dislike Ubuntu. I don’t need “cutting edge” technology, I used “cutting edge” before and realized it’s just hype. Most Linux distros have up to date software that is quite functional, jumping up to the next x.xx version of anything will not change your life. My LTS has backports so I still get current updates for most things.
