Hello :),
I have a PhD in theoretical computer science and more than a decade of experience as a fullstack dev.
I came here today because I asked for an increase of PATH_MAX on the ubuntu-motu emailing list there:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2025-April/008415.html
And Simon Quigley emailed me that it was much more appropriate to ask on discourse.ubuntu.com since the ubuntu-motu emailing list is “deprecated” (my word to simplify what he said).
So that’s it for my introduction and I’m gonna (re)post the part about PATH_MAX in a more relevant part of discourse.ubuntu.com.
Best regards,
Laurent Lyaudet
Hi! I just applied for a sales job with Canonical, and the email suggested that I check this out. It’s funny cause I’ve been meaning to get a computer to set it up with free software only, so you can tell my enthusiasm when I found this job listed. Don’t know if I’ll get it, but still happy to get to know more about Ubuntu and the whole universe here, is so big. Just happy to be here.
Hello everyone.
I am linux user, I have just registered to post a follow up to this topic:
on the old forums. That driver for the playstation 2 controller adapter stopped working on the newest kernels, but I found a fix for it, so I decided to register so I could share it with everyone that needs to.
Hello everyone!
I am Jill Abarte, a high school student and a computer enthusiast. I am based in Philippines. I’ve been a close follower of the relevant threads and discussions in this Discourse being a community member from Linux Mint and Ubuntu MATE.
I am currently learning about Canonical’s services, Snaps, Ubuntu Core and what could be the real world applications of such. Glad to be part of the Ubuntu community!

Hello everyone. After a long time considering moving away from Windows, I finally decided to start using Ubuntu with my brother when he started a traineeship with a company that encourages freeware. I’m not very knowledgeable but I’m here to learn.
Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse 
Lots to learn here, so enjoy and feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Hi,
Just discovered I am migrated from Ubuntu forums to here I have been using Gentoo for some time, and before that Debian. I have been using Ubuntu for a period until 2006, after also using Debian before that.
Recently I decided to go back to Ubuntu again, because I have more desktops and servers to maintain, and want to use one distro.
So running 24.04 for Ubuntu server and 25.04 for desktop.
Hope to help and get help here.

i all,
Just chipping in, I’m an oldtimer at launchpad, as an translator to Swedish of Ubuntu. (Also the coordinator of the Swedish Team for that.Josef Andersson in Launchpad ). After a time of inactivity, I would like to get started again, and so I would request write/post access, as I aim to post and keep an translation focus thread in our Swedish Ubuntu Local Communities / Ubuntu Sweden /Ubuntu Sweden - Ubuntu Community Hub.
Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse
You should be able to start posting in the LoCo category once you have reached a minimum read time of 15 minutes.
Currently, you are at 12m
So…read a few more topics or explore some other categories and that read time will jump up before you know it.

I was a long time windows user and windows 11 finally did me in. Researched linux flavors and decided Ubuntu was what I wanted to use. So I bit the bullet and installed Ubuntu 25.04 and deleted windows 11! Good riddance! Installation pretty much went flawless. Now am learning the ins and outs. Thanks all.

Hiya everyone!
I’m SilverHairOrTwo; been around in the Ubuntu community (including Discourse) for a few years, but I usually go by another name. I felt like contributing under a new identity, and so here I am
Hello. I’ve been using Ubuntu for some time and gone through quite a few upgrades. I use it mainly for research in my various past time activities, but also for producing documentation videos of my work. Currently I use Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 and have enabled Ubuntu Pro support. I can navigate through self help with a bit of understanding of the Linux file system and some terminal use, but I am not smart enough to be a developer of contributor. Thus I am looking for ways to get help when I need it. Thank you.
