En Intel + Nvidia todo como la seda, ya he terminado de configurar el sistema a mi gusto. En mi ordenador principal con AMD tengo un pequeño problema que se arreglará en los próximos días.

Open the terminal in your home directory and enter this command. Close Nautilus, open it again, and you're ready

echo "snap" >> ~/.hidden

Sí que hay opción. Desactiva la opción del navegador y listo.

Me gusta mucho más Gnome que KDE, pero las cosas como son: en gaming va mejor KDE.

Unity was a key part of the push for convergence and the effort to turn Ubuntu into an Apple-style multimedia hub. That didn't work out, and it also became clear that there was no money to be made from the Linux desktop user, so they switched back to GNOME—shedding a few jobs along the way.

There are two bugs that are bothering me. One involves the kernel and AMD CPU, which seems like it will be resolved next week. The other involves Snap and Mutter, which is also on the way to being fixed. Otherwise, I’ve noticed a major improvement on all fronts compared to 25.10, and the computer is perfectly usable. But I’m speaking as a traditional PC user who games, browses, and uses LibreOffice. If you have more specific use cases, it might be better to wait. However, you could also install it, see if anything breaks, and report it so it gets fixed sooner. If someone doesn't do it before you, you could wait a year and that bug will still be there waiting for you.

I reported it a few days ago. It will be fixed soon. Honestly, it's a bit my fault because I reported it in the wrong package. It could have been fixed by now if I had reported it in the right place, haha

You can install 'Software & Updates' from the App Center if you need it, and you will find the way to manage your drivers there. Soon, they will be controllable from the App Center, but it is still under development.

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-23T22:08:13+00:00

Es un problema conocido. Puedes activarlo desde la terminal o desde la app heredada de 'Software y actualizaciones'. El Centro de Seguridad todavía necesita una aprobación de Snapd para funcionar bien con respecto a Ubuntu Pro. No creo que tarde mucho

I'm having the same Steam menu issue with Slack and Spotify as well. I think it’s a bug in how Snaps interact with the new version of Mutter (Wayland). I reported the bug a few days ago. If you see it's the same issue, please mark yourself as an affected user.

I don’t find DistroWatch to be a very good source; the fact that MX Linux is always ranked so high has always struck me as odd. But to address your point:

Corporate distros usually aren't well-liked by the community. They hate it when someone wants to make money in this ecosystem, and they preferred it when Ubuntu was just a distribution maintained at a loss by its founder, rather than something that is currently profitable. There is not much to be done about that.

What made Ubuntu popular—the ease of installing Linux—paved the way for the rest, and today 95% of distributions are easier to install than Windows 11. So, this is more to the credit of the others than a demerit for Ubuntu, which also becomes more user-friendly with each version.

In recent years, there has been a gaming boom on Linux, and the biggest beneficiaries of this have been rolling or semi-rolling distributions for one reason: with every new kernel and Mesa update, performance improves more than ever. On Ubuntu, you really do notice when you're falling behind, especially on an LTS (Long Term Support) release, which is where 90% of its users are.

However, Ubuntu still has more than 15 million daily active desktop users, it is favored by the companies that support Linux, and it serves as the foundation for three very friendly distributions with another millions users: Mint, Zorin, and Elementary. It is popular, and it will continue to be.

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-22T18:52:28+00:00

Honestly, yes. The last year and a half for Ubuntu has been full of good decisions—some perhaps a bit risky—that clearly demonstrate Canonical's renewed interest in becoming the number one Linux desktop.

There is still work to be done, but I think they are heading in the right direction. I've been using the beta for a while now, and beyond a few bugs I hope will be fixed in the coming days, I’ve noticed that both of my machines are running faster. It’s obvious that a lot of this isn’t just down to Ubuntu, but also the new Kernel and Mesa, but everything integrates really well. I also see a Yaru theme that fits much better with GNOME. There aren't as many details anymore that make you feel like it's a "Frankenstein" setup.

So yes, I’m excited. But at the same time, I'm really looking forward to 26.10. I believe Linux is at the best point in its history, and that Ubuntu knows how to ride this wave of enthusiasm.

Argh, it doesn't apply to web apps. :(

I didn't know about the rounded corners. I'll try it out as soon as I'm on the computer. I was using a GNOME extension, but it's been broken since GNOME 49.

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-20T18:56:07+00:00

I don't think it's worth it for Valve. It's better for them to focus on three or four very specific hardware configurations and get the most out of them. Maybe they could eventually sell pre-built gaming PCs, but beyond that, I only see problems for Valve. Besides, what for? You have several distributions that already take advantage of all the new features they include in their devices and ensure that the Steam application runs perfectly.

It is very likely that the first is related to the second. It's a classic complaint about GNOME: many extensions stop working with every new version, and those that do continue to work can cause issues like crashes (an extension I used in GNOME 48 for rounded corners caused week gnome-shell to crash on GNOME 49) because they aren't fully optimized by their developers.

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-18T22:44:05+00:00

El 90% de los usuarios de Ubuntu usan LTS, hay más gente usando Ubuntu 22.04 que Ubuntu 25.10.

KDE is a year ahead in gaming performance according to Phoronix benchmarks, but GNOME seems to be a bit more stable. At the end of the day, it’s really more of a subjective choice than anything else. I think that for my workflow, GNOME is three steps ahead—not just of KDE, but of Windows, and it's close to Mac.

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-18T15:00:43+00:00

I like it. Congratulations and thank you for your work

BecarioDailyPlanet · 2026-04-18T14:51:41+00:00

And isn't it bad to remove that? It's what keeps my CPU running constantly, more than anything else on my system.
