    The latest LTS version of Ubuntu, for desktop PCs and laptops. LTS stands for long-term support - which means five years of free security and maintenance updates, extended to 10 years with Ubuntu Pro. This could be the start of the end for Windows as the dominant desktop operating system we will see with interest.

    We have 600 machines at my work that are on Windows 10. None of those machines meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. Most of them are close to or over 15 years old. Our business case to replace them came to over $600,000 just for the hardware. Never mind training or application compatibility testing. I asked for funds to set up a test machine with Ubuntu to determine its suitability as a replacement for the installed Windows Operating system. We do have several custom applications (We are a social agency managing about 50 housing and shelter locations throughout a large city and serve over 500 clients a year.) The hardware is fairly generic HP desktop units and uniform across the enterprise. A few managers have Lenovo 490 and T61 laptops. We have two choices for the applications run them on a VM or use an emulator product on the desktop machine. We do have a database running on an SCO Unix system from the 90's.

    Wait. Windows is not going anywhere. Microsoft doesn't care about home users. They care about selling licenses of Windows. This means OEMs buying licenses and companies buying bulk licenses. They don't care about your single PC purchase every 3-4 years. Windows is what fuels business and that's what MS cares about. That said, there's more awareness of Linux systems and what it can do for older hardware that MS wants you to throw into ewaste.

    I've been testing Ubuntu 24.04 with my late 2015 5K iMac and have had very few problems with it. Most of the problems I had were just me not remembering how to do things om Linux and having to re-familiarize myself. I think this will be a great OS to take the place of macOS Monterey when it ends support this coming fall, and this iMac will no longer be supported by Apple. I'm using the Cinnamon Ubuntu 24.04 flavor and also Kubuntu as I also like KDE. Currently I have been running each install from an external hard drive until I decide it's time to install as the main OS.
    Also wanted to note that 24.04 seems to have fixed the random audio issues I was having when trying previous releases such as 22.04 and below.
    Also I feel that any experienced user will find Linux and macOS quite similar in terms of the underlying Unix system, and most of the challenges may just be in the desktop experience and finding alternative software (depending on needs.)

    I've been running Windows for 32 years but have only occasionally dabbled with Linux on spare machines, most recently Mint.
    I have never heard of snaps; what are they? My usual route for getting software is to search in a browser, download and install. I can't work from home on a Linux machine because I need MS Office installed locally. I still don't have any Windows 11 compatible machines and don't know what to do in 18 months time.

    • @axeldewater9491

      Okay so, Windows uses ".exe"-packages as their programs, right? Linux has multiple formats to package a program, there is no(t yet a) standard package format on Linux. This is because Linux is not created by a company but by many different people with many different views on what is the right way to package a program. At the moment there are 4 major types of packages: native packages, flatpaks, snaps and appimages.
      Every distribution of Linux (there are several versions and flavors of linux which are called distributions) has native packages, that only work for that distribution of Linux. Its pro is that it has been packaged such that it works completely correct in that specific distribution. Its con is that this means that this native packages does not work on another distribution: every distribution needs to maintain their own package of this certain program.
      Flatpaks are an attempt to create a universal package format that makes sure that it works on *any* distribution, not only one distribution. Most distributions support flatpaks out of the box and otherwise you can easily install "Flathub" and then use flatpaks. Pros are that it is easy to maintain and publish to Linux, and that everything about it is open source. Con is that in order to be this flexible it is inside a sandbox and could therefore be a little slower or lack certain features because they require to escape this sandbox.
      Snaps are also an attempt to create an universal package format, but instead of made by the community, it has been created by Ubuntu's company, Canonical. The backend is not completely open source and Canonical is really forcing its users to use it. Linux users don't like to be forced onto something, that is why the maker of the video was complaining. Furthermore, snaps qualitatively behave worse than Flatpaks, while trying to achieve the same goal. So it is basically Canonical trying to become a standard instead of Flathub, so that they get more control over the Linux ecosystem as a whole, because the decisions Canonical makes on this topic are not in the benefit of the user at this moment (because flatpaks generally behave a lot better). Canonical even tries to get users to use snaps instead of the native Ubuntu packages, the ones I first talked about, even though the native packages work much better because they are made specifically for Ubuntu.
      Lastly there are AppImages. Those are the equivalent to Portable programs on Windows, and behave a bit like MacOS apps: you download a file, you make it runnable, you click on it, and it runs. This is also an attempt to create a universal package, but it has not taken off (yet), mostly because many users think it is much easier to either download a program from the software manage or to use the terminal, because these are quicker than using the browser and finding the file and then downloading it. Because of this, not many programs are packaged as AppImages and not many people therefore use them.
      I hope this comment helps with understanding Linux packages, and hopefully you'll be able to successfully transition from Windows to Linux without too many problems, and of course that you will like and enjoy it and stay! You'll discover that it is not really difficult, but more that it is new and different, and you'll need some time to adjust. If you ever encounter any problems, you can ask me here!

    I would say that Linux Mint is the one that Windows users should turn to not Ubuntu. Because Linux Mint has 3 desktops that will be the most familiar to Windows users. The Mate, Cinnamon and Xfce which come with Mint all have the Windows style start menu and layout. They don't have Snaps like Ubuntu does. And Mint is also very stable and has a lot of tools to help you out. You can also install other desktops on Linux Mint as I do. I have the KDE desktop and you can also install the Ubuntu Gnome Desktop on Mint. The advantage of this is you get all of the Ubuntu features but without the Snap. Because Mint does not use Snaps. That's why I always use Mint instead of Ubuntu but I am also getting to like Debian. Debian is also another option if you don't want Snaps or Flatpak.

      @TheS0meguy 25 днів тому +1

      Go, go, go! Both are great distros to start playing with, but I’d say what Linux Mint offers might feel more “natural” for someone coming from many years of using Windows. You’re about to start a journey that will blow your wig, sir! 😄 There are a few things I believe you should bear in mind from now on when it comes to GNU/Linux: 1. Every project (distribution / flavor) has its own vision. For instance, Mint is a community-driven project spearheaded by veterans, with their users needs at center. Everything they do is to make their users experience as frictionless as possible, while gradually innovating as new needs and requests arise; 2. On the other hand, distributions like Ubuntu (as well as other corporate-backed ones like Fedora or openSUSE) usually define their roadmap based on their commercial needs, or the companies that make use of their tech needs, so expect new developments to be pushed more aggressively hence things possibly breaking more often. Linux Mint and similar distributions are released when they are cooked enough, the other ones may come a little early out of the oven from time to time since they are often bound to hard timelines; 3) Then you have a whole other variety of desktop environments or window managers that you can dress up with the underlying system: Mint’s desktop environment Cinnamon is fully managed by the Mint team, and you can see their live pouring all over the place. Then you have GNOME - the one that uses Ubuntu and Fedora, for example -, which kind of resembles the UI you would expect from a tablet or a similar touch device. Then there is KDE Plasma 6 💙 the one I prefer over all of them, with an initial look and feel similar to the traditional Windows UI, but extensible and customizable beyond your imagination, trust me. There are many more, each one with their own goals, pros ando cons, so at the end of the day it is up to the user to pick the one that “feels right”. We are so lucky here, we live in abundance :) My recommendations is to go and try all the ones that pick your curiosity and see how you feel using them. 4) Because GNU/Linux is not a whole operating system like Windows or macOS or FreeBSD, but different components assembled together to create an operating system, you’ll hear a lot of the different “package managers”, which were the traditional way to install software there. Nowadays there are some new nice alternatives like Flatpak (https;//flathub.org) or Snap (developed and managed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu), that makes as easy as with the other platforms to install new software, implementing modern sandboxing techniques along the way to enhance security and prevent malicious applications from harming your system; 5) Learn how to use the terminal! While nowadays you can use most of these GNU/Linux systems geared towards the general public without ever interacting with a terminal, there is where the power lies: unlike with other OS with the exception of FreeBSD, here the graphical interface is an extension - and more often than not a tiny subset - of what you can do with your system from the termina. On top of that, with GNU/Linux your system is YOUR system. You have full control over it. _”With great powers comes great responsibilities”_ - it’s really easy to break it beyond a repairable state if you put your finger where you shouldn’t, trust me 😂; 6. I jumped boat in 2006 or 2007 (I started with Ubuntu back then, which had a very different UI), and after having used lot of diestros like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and even Linux From Scratch, I continue learning new stuff every day - and I breath Linux and FOSS, being them my daily drivers since then (with a little exception of a couple of years when I used macOS 🙂‍↔️), and also using them as my go-to option at work (Infrastructure / DevOps / SRE engineer here, think about Kubernetes, Podman, AWS, GCP, Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc); 7. Since you still have time my recommendation would be to start playing with the distros you are considering on a VM (I recommend you VMware Player since you’re on Windows, much better than VirtualBox), so you start getting acquainted with this new and (very) different way of doing things and slowly start buldijg up confidence. Most importantly, you start breaking your systems and learning how to avoid repeating doing that in the future, and better yet, how to fix it. Think about raising the hood of your car and understanding exactly what every part of the engine does - then think back about Windows and macOS, if you can do the same. Spoiler alert: you can’t. Those systems are black boxes that restricts your freedom, your possibilities to use them to your best potential, and the possibility of learning and leveling up. And I even haven’t yet said nothing about *privacy*, or about the disrespect Microsoft treats its users with by charging them for the operating system (no issues with that), only to next shove publicity right into their desktops with new updates! They have no shame, really. Which brings me to the last of the points I wanted to make you know about: 8. There are two main philosophical movements or school of thought here: Free Software (fsf.org, eff.org), and Open Source Software. The first one has more of a dogmatic position, where all the hardware and software should be open and free to access to everyone. It was founded by a guy that was a golden boy at MIT in the 70s and the 80s, frustrated of being restricted to learn how some of the stuff they used at their lab worked because of licensing burdens; the OSS movement has a more down-to-Earth approach if you like, where they are not so focused on “preserving people’s freedoms”, but in achieving technical excellence, to which one of the best things you can do is open your source code so peers can take a look at it and _yay or nay_, share their thoughts, and between everyone come to the best possible solution. Its not a surprise companies back more OSS projects than Free-as-in-Freedom projects, even though the FSF is responsible for the other half of what constitutes a GNU/Linux operating system, the GNU part: gnu.org.
      Again, congratulations from deciding to move out of your comfort zone and learn something new - you won’t be disappointed! And if you feel a bit more adventurous, go check some of the amazing new developments popping out of the Fedora community like bazzite.gg/ or projectbluefin.io/. Also, you might want to give a look nixos.org/ which I fell completely in love with and can’t have enough of it! 🎉🐧 😄🤓 Edit: typing on an iPad sucks so baaadly! Can’t wait to have good tablets running full Linux distributions, not just Android :D

      Personally, I would recommend Mint / Cinnamon as the first distribution for you to try. That was where we ended up, having used Microsoft operating systems since MS-DOS. But a separate SSD for the Linux installation, with the Windows disk saved aside, would be a wise thing for you to do. That way you can still go back if the Linux learning curve is too steep. And make no mistake, there is a learning curve.

    The only time when Linux defeats windows is if linux can play all the triple "A" games especially the triple "A" games that run with the anti-cheat software and as well for linux to be able to support all hardware which it can support most percentage of hardware these days and so therefor in time as linux advances then it might defeat windows till then we have to use windows.

    • @cybernit3

      That is a problem true indeed, but only for certain games. Some people have tried running Win 10/11 in a Virtual Machine, and also did some tweak so it doesn't show it is a VM. If Linux gaming population increases then these gaming companies that need to run anti-cheat software might finally cave in and make it for linux as well. One game I play Tanki-Online only requires anti-cheat when you play in competition event tournaments; for regular public matches it doesn't require anti-cheat software. If you use the VM it could get you banned for some games, so I wouldn't try this. They might improve this VM method in the future.

    I think this Ubuntu will spell the end of Windows. Not so much because Ubuntu. But because once Linux Mint gets a hold of this and refines it, I think you will see as perfect a desktop OS as you can get. Ubuntu is a great foundation. But lost the plot with desktop users. Understandable. They would not be the solid foundation they are if they focused on desktop. They need to focus more on corporate needs because that makes them the money they use to make their solid base. Linux Mint takes it that extra mile and brings it home for the desktop user. They can focus more on the desktop users. Wish Ubuntu and Linux Mint would get a long better. They both bring something to the table the other does not and desperately needs. Lol. If they were to combine forces, they would be an unstoppable distro.

    Looks like my specs on my computer... you have a wee bit better graphics (well much better), a wee bit faster CPU (about equal, overclocked A10-58k). I have a wee bit more resolution though (1680x1050). 8GB RAM here also.
    ---edit
    I tried Linux (when it was in beta 1992'ish)... just before that I tried a SUN Solaris (BSD variant) on a mainframe with a (SUN?) terminal and the terminal had 68020... (my Amiga back then had 68EC20 but was upgraded quickly to 68030) but it was just fast as hell... Anyway... the Linux was we tried was run on 386 (16 Mhz as I remember) and it was pretty cool... The Mainframe with Sun terminals (was the shit, it was so freakishly fast)... But again... It was cool to see a form of Unix running on a 386 (with 2 MB ram? or something) that had almost the same shell... did not run any graphics though...
    Anyway... I do remember a "PR" stunt in my office (a small computer consultant firm) knocking on the door and gave us 10 free CD's with Ubuntu with nice sleeves and everything (2004-2005 maybe?)... Ofc I installed it, and sure it was pretty nice... many things did not work though... Graphics (only 640x480), no sound, no adaptec SCSI card, and so on and on... But the basics worked, and it started nice with a GUI... It had promise... as desktop system.
    Last time I tried Ubuntu was 5 years ago with an older laptop just for fun... and after about 3 days I got pretty much everything working but it was a pain (I do like pain though)... It started with lowres display, no sound, to good display, OK sound (with a lot of fiddling great sound) but a lot of graphical jerkiness... but after a while with a lot of testing, editing and so on it was working...
    I don't mind the fiddling, I actually like it most of the time. But for me I never got the filesystem structure except for the basics, so with every Linux dist I have installed I always get stumped by where all the shit is and why is that shit in that directory now and why is it not where it was in the other Linux dist and so on and on...
    Think that is my biggest "gripe"... and I guess I'm an old dog and it takes longer for me to learn... device/paths is also hard for me...
    I still think I'm in AmigaOS world... and you could exchange anything with everything, softlinks, hardlinks, alias and so on and on... but it just does not work in the same way with Unix/Linux...
    But as I'm typing this, I just bought another computer... and this computer will get a Linux dist for sure (maybe not Ubuntu though)... I think I will make this computer a headless server of some sort... sadly the new computer is probably going to get Win11 at least at first, I need to transfer and sort everything from this computer and then maybe make a decision to go full Linux or stay with Win11...

    I am little lost. To me this whole video does not make any sense. WHY? simple you stated that a new user coming to Ubuntu does not know what a snap package is and when they use the Ubuntu store w.e they will install snap. How does that break or make people come to Linux? Windows has a .exe file that means you dont have to use the repository just download what you like. Linux is build a way that you cannot just download a file and run it. It has to be from the store or build the file and so on. You have to find snap or what ever package manager that distro works on. Its like two people from different countries using different languages "no understand, no capish" If you using Windows 7 or vista or windows 10 same file format install done. People that come to Linux have to learn new skill and that makes people just go away from that. It is easier to explain to someone click on download and next, next and so on done then to explain click on command line type in sudo apt install or go find a appimage for gimp. They will look at you and say" what in the world is that" or what is gimp.... I used Linux as a server, desktop and i even did the archiso scripted also did the Ubuntu as a respin. You have dozens of distros that are not in one "government" in a sense and people dont care what it is they want to open up a firm and make money of the software. If people make money and gimp is a good program then everything is good. People today have no idea what operating system they are running all they know is that the software that was put on it works with their employment. Most nurses that I worked with and I work in a hospital have no clue if it is windows 11 or 10. The program that they were trained on works and they perform their duties.

    I'm frustrated by the clickbait surrounding the new ubuntu update. It's clear it has a long way to go before it truly competes. With technology evolving so rapidly, compatibility issues will likely persist until they catch up, by which point users may have already moved on to newer advancements.
    My own experience trying to update the cursor only resulted in a system crash and forced logout. This kind of instability makes it difficult to recommend ubuntu for general use.
    After using Linux distributions, I've gained a new appreciation for Windows, Linux is good in specific contexts, such as server environments or for educational purposes. However, for most everyday tasks, I believe windows offer a more reliable and user-friendly experience.

      I don't know specifially about Ubuntu but working as IT on a Company I learned to hate each day more Windows.
      Using Mint for working or anything with normies has been the best experience in my life, almost no issues, super customizable, solid rock and appealing to the standard user.
      Windows USED to be friendly and good looking, now it is a mess, adds coming even from the taskbar, Copilot wanting to make you a baby basically on how much it harass you nonstop and jump from any angle. Not to mention the search bar that will search for anything on the web and take half your time when trying to simply launch an App you know you have installe and doesn't even show up there.
      Don't make me start with the Printers tho... or other drivers, Printers that would work OTB in Linux have so many issues in Windows and sometimes they refuse to work even when the Drivers are the same on different machines, the amount of telemetry and BS services I need to turn off on each computer before giving it to a User (only to know it started to behave wrongly again after any update that screwed all my Config and forced services and bs to start again and set them automatically or even installing more ads and bloat on the system)
      Oh talking about updates as well... the horrible bad installed updates destroying an OS with the Installing-Rollbacking Loop after some patch.
      Man please... if you learned to appreciate Windows tell me how and why, because I have only 1 computer with Win10 set apart to play games and for any other thing I go with Linux, even my cats at this point can use a Linux Mint computer and get less issues than using Windows (Sad AF if you ask me)
      BTW I don't completely hate on Microsoft tho, I have Xbox and I love it, but the latest Updates to the Dashboard made me hate the UI Team on Xbox as well on how they transformed one of the best dashboards in a console I have into a Store Ad Fest where I can't even put all my games on it because 80% of the space is by force being used by them and the attempt to sell me stuff I already bought half the time.
      Seriously... In 2003 I used to fear each Linux update because I was a scrub on Linux and felt like a pro on Windows... 20 years later I can handle even a weird crash on Arch Manjaro without a sweat but start shaking in panic until a machine with Windows applies and Update and start prying it boots again without breaking something.
      BTW: Yeah the title was horrible ClickBait and hated it, also commented about it because it isn't even clickbait, it is a bad bs joke.

      ​@@Lanzetsu Linux mint is good, but you cannot convince others to use the OS that you are comfortable with, you never know what use cases others have, you are talking about some driver stuff that you could not found on windows(probably a legacy one). Also it is a fact that most softwares are compatible with windows. I also have a bunch of past stories where I can mention all the horrible things that occurred while I was using Linux but I feel kind of lazy writing here 😂. Irony is you are comfortable with linux mint, which mimics windows most of the time. I have no problem with what OS's other people are using I just hate the bandwagon that some guys start where the start talking shit about a certain OS just to satisfy their own world view. From your msg, I can say that windows did not satisfy your use case but honestly are you willing to convince others to not use it just because you had a problem. Also, you became comfortable with linux after 2 decades 😂, do you think this sounds like a good argument.

      See that's the problem you Windows users keep thinking from the wrong direction. It is not the fault of the Linux world that all games that are built for Windows don't work in the Linux world one way or another. Now this is 2024 not 2016 or even earlier years and the number of games in the Linux world that are native Windows titles that don't work and we're not even talking using a virtual machine have consistently shrunk every single year little by little and they are quite small by today's modern quantity standards and variety standards of Gaming
      Pretty much the only games that don't work in the Linux World these days are Microsoft Flight simulator, any games that come from the Microsoft Store app, games that require easy anti-cheat technology just to run save for Apex Legends which has been working for many months now if not a year
      Otherwise wine, wine with the support of lutris, hero launcher, and steam pretty much run anything you can throw at it as long as you have just like in Windows the correct Hardware in which to run the game at certain resolutions and settings
      Now of course not everything is plug and play as many experience Linux users like myself will tell you straight up. Some games require some tinkering but it's still worth it to finally have ownership of what is supposed to be your computer. And besides too many people put far too much attention and emphasis on easy anti-cheat required games which require online access which are basically PVP games. Now I don't know about you but the vast majority of those throughout the decades their story lines are nowhere near as engaging and it's nowhere near as entertaining as your old tried and true single player campaigns games such as The Witcher series, Metro crisis... all of which work very well on the Lennox world and in fact equally as well as Windows

      The main reason game developers usually develop for the windows world first and only sometimes or often is because Windows simply is currently still the most popular computer desktop and laptop operating system on the planet. That is not the fault of Linux and you're putting the responsibility for correction on the Linux community instead of against the game developers who could more easily develop the game to be compatible with Linux. The same thing can be said about specific Hardware such a certain Wi-Fi land drivers certain Bluetooth drivers and if you audio video involved PCI Express expansion car drivers.

      Embracing the Power of Linux Mint: A Former Windows User's Perspective
      Hey there, Windows users! If you're still stuck in the quagmire of proprietary software and bloated operating systems, let me tell you about my journey to enlightenment. I once too was a slave to the Windows image, but no more!
      Now, I proudly stand among the Linux Mint community, and I couldn't be happier. For those unfamiliar with Linux OS, it's an open-source alternative that offers flexibility, customizability, and a robust user experience without the unnecessary baggage of bloated software and hidden costs.
      My decision to make the switch was not an easy one. But as I delved deeper into the world of Linux Mint, I discovered a whole new realm of possibilities. Gone are the days of constant system updates and unnecessary restarts. Instead, I now enjoy a stable, efficient, and secure operating system that respects my privacy and empowers me to take control of my digital environment.
      If you're feeling even the slightest pang of curiosity about Linux Mint, let me encourage you to give it a try. Embrace the future of open-source technology and join the growing community of satisfied users who have found freedom from the shackles of Windows.
      Warm regards,
      A Linux Convert
