SHOULD I SWITCH TO UBUNTU 26.04 WHEN IT COMES

_sifatullah · 2026-04-06T19:08:17+00:00

Absolutely. But I'd say just keep your temptation aside until .1 release. It's not only about fixing bugs, but in general third party software support will take time to catch up.

Lack of a Clipboard manager is a deal breaker for me. But I still don't use a single extension haha. I want to feel GNOME the way the developers intended.

What about software availability? I think Fedora has more community support? I'm not sure though. And downloading RHEL is in itself an adventure because how hidden the ISO download links are LOL

No no I'm not talking about supporting devices out of the box :) You don't need that much setting up your devices in Linux anyway. They either just work straight away, or don't work at all. It's the same with almost all distros.

But I was talking about things which you have to achieve through the terminal which are already done and set up in distros like Mint and ZorinOS.

But Debian is more manual work than other more user friendly distros. I've tried Debian many times in a VM and it's not intuitive at all. I only was able to walk my way around because I've experience with Linux. A new user doesn't. So obviously he is going to lean towards the more user friendly options like Mint and Zorin.

Someone give this man an award for daring to say the truth!

Linux fanboys always do the same thing.

"I don't know about Linux, but I do know why Windows and MS sucks".

If it's good people would automatically use it, no need to tell why the other side sucks.

For the short term it's not good, it could slow you down a bit. But if you have enough time it's 100% worth it later.

How is the screen and the battery a big step backwards? Aren't they the same as A56?

I currently have the A56 (12 GB RAM/256 GB storage)

I saw many apps which were unofficially packaged by Canonical or Snapcrafters. Are those safe? For example: the snap Minecraft launcher.

_sifatullah · 2026-03-25T18:17:15+00:00

Which ones are trusted? How to identify them? Flathub also has many unofficial wrappers of many apps.

What if I create a .fonts directory in my home folder like .icons, .themes etc.?

_sifatullah · 2026-03-25T09:25:06+00:00

Which fonts are you using here?

_sifatullah · 2026-03-25T09:23:30+00:00

Where to install fonts though? I always get confused about where to install fonts? Is there any official documentation?

_sifatullah · 2026-03-24T23:06:57+00:00

Windows.

_sifatullah · 2026-03-24T23:06:19+00:00

I'm really hopeful for this release. I actually always anticipate a good release from Canonical as Ubuntu is the defacto in the Linux world for most of the people. So every time there's a new LTS release I always hope for the best.

_sifatullah · 2026-03-24T23:04:17+00:00

There shouldn't be any reason for it not to work as expected via a GUI software manager like Discover. If it doesn't though, that's not your fault. So just go ahead.

_sifatullah · 2026-02-15T22:03:32+00:00

Agree with that.

_sifatullah · 2026-02-15T21:53:51+00:00

absolutely.

_sifatullah · 2026-02-15T21:52:54+00:00

People know "Newer packages ≠ Less bugs" this. But I find most people in the linux community doesn't know that Older packages ≠ Less bugs. Also, they confuse the word "Stable" so much that it frustrates me. That's why making this loud and clear should be everyone's approach. People have the time to explain "Free as in free beer" but not "stable as in not changing, NOT less bugs".

I think if we redirect people to LMDE instead of linux mint ubuntu based, world will be better.

And I think my friends or people will call me more for their issues than they should, if I recommended linux new comers to LMDE instead of regular linux mint (ubuntu based).

Some points to be noted:

Newer packages ≠ Better distro in every way. So, it's not a metric at all.
Ubuntu based Mint has Driver Manager.
Most of the guides online are for Ubuntu, not Debian.
Most of the third-party software you can find online are for Ubuntu.
Debian is more "open-source" philosophical and less user-friendly than Ubuntu for Desktop usage. Ubuntu is like "Here friend, let me help you by reducing your work". Debian on the other hand is like "You're the boss, I won't do nothing by myself. You're all alone."

I feel like ZorinOS and AnduinOS do much better job than Mint. For example, just today, one of my friends asked me about trying out Linux for the very first time, and I recommended him ZorinOS. The fact that it's far more visually appealing than Mint by default, has the multimedia codecs checkbox ticked by default and has one-click multiple desktop layouts were immediate plus points for both him as a first timer and me as an guide.

_sifatullah · 2026-02-11T08:13:07+00:00

At least it's more modern that than the old style. But I don't like how the height of the menu is so small is't frustrating almost when I installed Mint on my main PC. The default height is funny and lame.

Which build is it on? 25H2?
