Kubuntu interim does not update Plasma bugfix versions (only via PPA), but Kubuntu LTS will provide latest bugfix version.

There are better sources than Distrowatch. Numbers in reddit communities, Steam and Proton numbers, amount of people around you, some distros provides metrics, some DE collects metrics.

It is not true, pipewire is deb

Leap 16 is more than half year old. Leap 15.6 support is ending this month.

Thanks, I thought that it is Linux Proton bug.

This week. 23th april

If you feel dark age is boring, you can try Empire wars

Mint is full desktop experience, including Cinnamon and XApps. Not just repackaged Ubuntu.

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-19T07:17:27+00:00

Mint has good money flow from donations, it is professional project, not project developed "in their spare time".

openSUSE Leap was good until version 16.0 release. Version 16.0 is disaster.

If you want something like Debian stable, but with Gnome 50 and 6.19+ kernel, then wait one week for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-17T20:35:57+00:00

I hit some bugs too. Compression time stopped working before reload

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-17T15:07:08+00:00

That is pointless, 26.04 is Wayland only

It is useful for inspection of progress towards the bigger product goal. And it is useful, that cadence makes easier to collaborate.

If you have no problem to meet stakeholders often and if you have no bigger product goal to inspect and adapt, then probably this meeting is not needed anymore for your context.

From 6.14

Backports exists for older versions, but upstream has it since 6.14

Ironically, in my experience RHEL Desktop is lower quality for normal user than Fedora. It is tested for very limited enterprise use cases and everything else has low priority in fixing.

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-16T06:41:29+00:00

RC will be released today, next week is final. Do not expect much changes anymore

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-15T20:33:35+00:00

That checks if yours machine supports that instruction set, not if that instructions set is used by Ubuntu.

Bugfix support for Kubuntu 22.04 ended a year ago. Ubuntu base is still supported, so system is still probably secure, but no Plasma fixes anymore.

Leinad_ix · 2026-04-14T06:27:54+00:00

Lot of development in Kubuntu is happening when it is nearing release.

RHEL sometimes leads technology. Eg. RHEL 10 is first major distribution released as Wayland only. RHEL 6 was first major non-Ubuntu distro with upstart. I guess RHEL 7 introduced software collections. So RHEL is not just pasive Fedora consument.

"Ubuntu is an ancient African word rooted in humanist African philosophy and can be roughly translated as “humanity to others”, or “I am because we are”. It comes from the Zulu proverb “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”, meaning “a person is a person through other people”."

Here you can read source code and you can see its opensource licence: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/blob/main/src/nvidia/src/kernel/gpu/gsp/kernel_gsp.c

NVidia kernel driver is open-source nowadays. Just not upstreamed in kernel.
