Been using it as my daily driver for the last couple of years and I am very happy with it.
When there are issues they are solvable, and the options for getting software, via apt, snap, flatpak, etc. Means that I can really pick and choose how I use my machine.
Even gaming is so much better than it used to be. A lot of things just work.
Very happy with it, and the latest update was quite a nice little refresh of the UI.
My absolute favourite part of the update is being able to save things to “Starred” files directly from the download window. I didn’t realize how much it bothered me.
Y’all making me want to try Ubuntu again. It was go to whenever I dual booted, but finally made the full time switch to fedora a while back. Maybe I should dual boot fedora/Ubuntu for the fun of it. Haha.
Don’t. I just set up a Linux Mint system for someone. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out the convoluted network and dns systems.
I use Windows on the desktop right now, but if I switched to Linux, it would probably be Fedora. I’d suggest sticking with that.
Wait…Ubuntu is only 20? What’s the first linux? I thought ubuntu was older.
According to this, the first was Boot-Root from Torvalds himself in 1991. The oldest that are still around are Slackware (July 1993) and Debian (Aug 1993).
I wonder if someone could still install boot root? I’m not a techy person, but I’d watch the hell out of that YouTube video!
Sadly, I did not find Boot-Root 1991 but found these:

And boot-root 2002:
The fact that Ubuntu is derived from Debian logically means it wasn’t the first Linux-based OS.
This is gonna blow your mind. There this thing called the internet, and people put loads of information on it. You can access this using “websites” called “search engines” that index all the content.
Tried both Ubuntu 24.10 and Kubuntu 24.10 and original flavour ubuntu lost to both kubuntu’s performance and customizability.
My daily driver was 6.06 up to 8.x I think. Only had minor encounters with it since. And here I am still fooling myself into thinking „I’m pretty familiar with Ubuntu“ 😅
Until it’s wings “Snaps”.
Ubuntu does so much good, this is one thing I wish they would abandon.
Or at minimum, not have it as the default option.
Even without Snaps, Ubuntu isn’t good anymore.
It’s buggy as hell, and never manages to do a release upgrade without breaking.
And every time you do an apt update, it fucking tells you that there are more updates available if you upgrade to Ubuntu Pro.
It’s not completely free.
You pay with your telemetry data and your email address.
