I'd seriously reconsider this move.

Hi!
Just a quick bit of news...
I teach in adult education in North Tyneside, and last year I managed to
talk my manager round to the idea of putting on a beginners course in

The problem is that the Nvidia-Settings app is not saving the settings

I'm there now, nobody seems to talk and the only person who has tells me
'it's a ubuntu package issue'.

A bug can be a flaw in an otherwise functional program, like a typo or an
unclickable button. A crash is when the program ceases to respond to user
interaction, usually seen as it just closing.
An example of a crash on say, android, is when you get a "force close"
message.
