(I’d started dist-upgrade, locked screen for a few mins, came back, couldn’t unlock, no reaction, eventually force-shutdown the computer.)

(Upon rebooting, Ubuntu was stuck in the loading screen forever, the login service couldn’t start.)

(And I couldn’t figure out how to get the “normal” menu to show in GRUB2, so I had to manually boot so I could add `recovery` to cmdline.)

But I think all this might’ve been worth it to get Ubuntu 17.10 “Artful”… love to have @gnome desktop on my work system as well now :)

(not like I had much of a choice – I was on 17.04, which isn’t an LTS, so it loses support in 3 months iiuc)

Alt+F10 to toggle maximize
Alt+Click no longer drags windows (rectangle editing in WDQS GUI!)
