[15:51] <kakadu> After Ubuntu upgrade to 21.04 I got visual artifacts in KDE/Qt applications. https://pasteboard.co/JUSnQ5s.png Is it relevant to this channel?

 @DarinMiller my laptop HD died. Cheap Micron rubbish 😛 😂
 Oh no!
 Really?
 @DarinMiller, Yes. It only had Windows on that one, so nothing of value was lost 😉
 It was Crucial drive that failed?
 @DarinMiller, No the Micron one that came with the Dell laptop failed. I have a Crucial one to replace it.
 These things happen. I was just ribbing you :P

 That is the one that failed
 Ribbing understood :)  Yours is the 1st failure I heard of "in the field".  I am assuming the SSD was hardly used if it only your windows install was on it...
 If its less than 3 yrs old it should be under warranty....
 @DarinMiller, Yeah, it had not had much heavy read/write. The laptop was a late relatives who did mostly web surf
 @DarinMiller, Bought March 2017
 To be fair, I was thinking of duel booting it or putting an new HD in for linux anyway
 Now I don't have to worry about screwing the Windows install
 LOL
 @DarinMiller Also I am not 100% I believe the Dell bios diagnostic on the 'deadness'. I shall try a few things when it can be plugged into something else

 That is very lovely
 Though the Ubuntu Hermione Hippo wallpaper is also fab
