I hate making video that come off as negative, but ultimately I would love for Ubuntu to succeed and have it as one of the options that I’m able to recommend to anyone no matter your skill set. In the current state I cannot recommend Ubuntu as a desktop operating system to anyone. It really sucks because Ubuntu is how I and may others started out with Linux, I just wish it was up to par with some of the other options we have.

i hope you keep daily drivin on Ubuntu,but if you got tired,try #BigLinux,yes it works with English language too...its a Better Manjaro version,of all time.
I use zorin and that was really nice
Experience has been smooth.
Yes I had similar problems, I tried to switched to Pop on my desktop for ages but installation wouldn't work, eventually solved the problem by removing all SATA cables on installation. Ubuntu so buggy.
I updated to Ubuntu 22.04 on my Tuxedo Aura 15 Gen 1 and it wouldn't remember my dock settings and such. Eventually I jumped to Pop!_OS. I'm digging it.
Now I feel lucky after watching this, I haven't had a single issue with Ubuntu 22.04 and I play games, I study and write code on it. And Open Weather just works, it's mind blowing how different experiences can be. But I don't like the idea that ppl have to rely on luck when trying out Ubuntu.
I’ve had it since the late development days, and haven’t had a single issue on my 3rd gen Lenovo Thinkpad T580 running 22.04. So far I’ve dualbooted that and Windows 11 with a supported laptop, I’ve had close to no issues.
It's part of why I distro hopped away from it. Especially when I was switching my 2015mbp to Linux. Fedora just works better for me out of the box. Even if I have to configure drivers and some nonfree stuff to work how I want...
@@darsparx although Ubuntu works for me I am planning on switching to fedora when GNOME 42 comes out, so, to Fedora 37, as that is what ppl use around here to code. And I heard a lot of good reviews, I tested it on VM and really loved it so gotta try!
Yep, just that. I recomend always update the system, some bugs with my external monitor disapear after the first update.
I had such a bad time with Ubuntu that I was gonna give up Linux
Then I found arch Linux, it was a god send
I've had no issues with Ubuntu on my system, it was one of the only distros that worked perfectly with my graphics card out of the box. The whole Snap thing is a little annoying, but once I de-snapped Firefox, Gnome extensions were easy to install and Flatpak support wasn't difficult to add either.
That has been the experience with me. Ubuntu is the only distribution I have used where I've not had any major issues using it (on my laptop)
I just don't use any snaps and set it up to use debs and flatpak and all my apps run fine.
I personally would have loved to use Pop!_OS but it would freeze on the lock screen way too often
Flatpak give me problems too. I just install debs now.
I switched to Ubuntu for my personal work machine two years ago and can't be more pleased. The system has been very stable and fast, very small problems and all could be solved easy with help of the community. I have tried a lot of other distros but keep comming back to home, Ubuntu. Very recommended
I'm working as a software developer with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS since the release and has been a very pleasent experience. I had a couple extensions that did broken but nothing major. I guess for the type of usage that you work (editing videos e screen capture) the issues are more present.
same
Diego maradona
I think that too,, issue with editing video and screen capture,,
Ubuntu was my first distro, its very visually appealing and served me well
Same here. It runs perfectly for me 🙏🤗
Agreed I stared using Linux primary in February. However I don't like the Deb package manager. However for some reason when you look up troubleshooting things for Linux a majority of them are for Ubuntu users.
@@darkiceywolf2953 that's because Ubuntu is the most popular one. You'll usually see that long-time Linux users started with Ubuntu, as it's quite old now and was already one of the most complete Linux experiences many years ago.
I recently switched from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE and I never looked back.
👍
Until the package manager breaks your system. Once you have multiple sources of packages, it's a real pain to select the right version of all the package dependencies on each update.
OpenSUSE is a fantastic distro and I only had amazing experiences in it 💪🙏
Based geeko
What prompted the migration?
I'm using Ubuntu since it's launch as my main desktop and it's working like a charm. I really hope they'll fix those problems soon so everyone can experience a reliable system again!
i hope that they fix those problems too
i'm a Windows user and always have been but Windows 11 is just actual garbage i can't stand it with their ridiculous minimum specs
i've really been looking into switching to Linux
I've switched to Ubuntu after hovering around with popOS, Fedora and Arch. My main problem is usually the proprietary Broadcom network board in my laptop which works perfectly in Ubuntu. The first thing I did was to uninstall the snap store and replacing it with the gnome software center with flatpak and snap plugins (I don't use snaps unless there is no alternative). I've had a fairly good experience until now but I dodged the snap bullet since the beginning so that might have been an important part. Good Video 👍
If it's not something I really need to use the I just don't use if is Snap only.
If we make Snaps give 0 user base, devs will be forced to switch to Flatpak
idk if its possible but you possibly could copy the kernel driver to the diffrent os if it has a close enough kernel.
I'm one of the few that's been having a good experience, but it sucks all this kind of stuff is happening, Ubuntu does need to fix these ASAP, especially because this is an LTS release.
They dont have to.. jusr use fedora or debían
the majority does have a good experience, don't be fooled
@@ethan-fel consider what I've been hearing, most aren't. I don't think I'm being fooled here.
@@ivebeenmemed There would've been an outcry if "most aren't [having good experience]". This guy's issues might very well be hardware related that can be resolved by switching to a distro with a newer kernel, like Fedora, which is exactly what he did.
Until now, Ubuntu can still be weird. The hit and miss instability could drive anyone crazy, like instead of spending time doing what you should be doing, you end up spending it debugging and fixing it. I'm not sure why there still at that state though.
Haven't visited Pop!_OS in a while but Fedora is definitely a good go-to as a daily driver
Pop!_OS can sometimes be even worse than Ubuntu, I didn't install it on my system but using it in a Live USB revealed most of the bugs.
@@markoskaram22 yeah me too. I switched from pop to kubuntu caused of bugs. Might be my hardware is old for pop
@ᴠᴀʀɪᴀʙʟᴇ @ Markos Karam @ lvutodeath Linux is for pedophiles and pathetic young men who still live with their mom's and go on killing spree's. That is why they are always trying to hide.
@@markoskaram22 for me pop was beautifully stable on every version apart from 22.04
My experience with Ubuntu has been very stable. Granted, I have very modern hardware, if that makes a difference, but the only crashes I've had were when playing officially incompatible games or undervolting my GPU.
I had a lousy experience going from 21.10 to 22.04.
I switched to KDE NEON which is basically a stripped down Ubuntu LTS with with the latest KDE on top. So far, its a good and snappy experience. Highly recommended.
Totally agree. Fedora for desktop use, Ubuntu for servers.
Exactly. For desktop use, newer but tested software is preferable. How about opensuse tumbleweed?
@@rishirajsaikia1323 definitely Tumbleweed. Only distribution that I get to run my notebook flawlessly
@@rishirajsaikia1323 I spent a year on Tumbleweed and it was horrible. So many bugs and broken updates. Very low quality control. I spent most of my time fixing broken stuff. If you use OpenSUSE I guess that Leap is good since they do quality control for that version, because it is literally the same thing as SUSE Linux for Enterprise minus the support.
@@rishirajsaikia1323 I have used Fedora Workstation for a year now. It is incredibly polished and reliable. Same conclusion as TechHut in this video. In fact Fedora is the only distro that made me uninstall Windows.
@@rishirajsaikia1323 There is no reason to jump away from Fedora. Its packages are very fresh and everything is stable and tested by RedHat. They provide the basis for a stable system that you can do anything you want with. And I love that they are vanilla by default so that I can do my own theming. I will never change distro. Fedora is the only distro worth using. I have used Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Pop, Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian, Slackware and a few more.
I’ve had a great experience with 22.04. Fedora 36 was running horribly on my desktop but I switched over and everything has been working amazing since.
That's how things are, the same thing happened to me with fedora in which I have many errors, and I have to go back to pop os or mint. Most of the errors are not the distributions, it is the relationship of them with the hardware.
Fedora have that problem with banning out of the box proprietary drivers. If more people start using it IBM will change that.
Ive been using ubuntu for almost 5 years. I went with popOS this upgrade cycle. It's just more what I want out of the box.
Pop!OS is nice, clean, runs well, and is actively supported. Great choice. I'm using it currently as my second choice.
Used 22.04 since it came out and its been rock solid, the only issue I had was the snap store update bug which required manually terminating the process before it would update. Other than that its been smooth sailing.
Ubuntu was my basis distro for the longest time. I moved from Gnome to KDE with it or KUbuntu. What I didn't like about is upgrading. So, considered a number of distros such as MX, Endeavor, and Manjaro but decided on Fedora KDE with next to the latest plasma with no issue with upgrading.
I've tried Ubuntu as that was my first Linux experience and had a lot of issues getting some things to work with the hardware I had. The DisplayLink drivers were rather painfully slow and sluggish, the wireless kept dropping despite the updated drivers for those and the random kernel panic when the Ryzen chip wanted to power down for C1 states. Eventually, I moved over to Fedora which worked out of the box with only the DisplayLink not working but a bit of Googling managed to get this back up whilst the Ubuntu side was filled with a lot of 'do this, should work, oh, it didn't, what now?'
I think the key point is to try out all the Linux distros until you get one that works with the hardware you wanted irrespective of what the communities tell you.
Surprised I'm the first to comment on this, but I think you got the nail on the head, suggesting trying different distros until you find the one that works for you. That's what I did. However, it does take time and determination. Thanks and God bless
I have switched from Fedora to Ubuntu after about 15 years recently and I am more than happy with the change. OBS Studio works for me well whereas on Fedora I had problems with it (probably due to Wayland usage, right now I am back on X session).
I used to run Ubuntu for so long, but it just started going down hill, so I switched to Linux Mint Cinnamon, and it is perfect
Ah shit... Now that you mentioned flatpaks, recently I had a job interview with Canonical, and one of their questions was "How can we improve our products?" and I referenced the adoption of Flatpaks instead of Snaps, and 24h later I received a message saying that unfortunately I wasn't fit for the job (on a more educated and corporate manner, mind you).
Now it makes sense, because I believe I left a good impression on them until I received that message. Lol
but why are they so bent on using snap?
@@sweetmelon3365 Basically.
Canonical wants their system to become the main/only packaging system for all Linux distributions
And if that happens, their snap store will be the main place to get apps
So they will introduce a monetisation system into the store, and then they will get money
This is why all the server code and stuff is closed source and centralised, they don't want people making other stores if their plans succeed
This is why they don't adopt flatpaks despite them being basically the future of Linux software distribution and packaging
At least, this is a theory i heard somewhere
@@aquaponieee then why not make the snap store better so everyone likes it? i heard its lagginess is why ppl dont like it?
@@sweetmelon3365 it's not the lagginess, but the fact that a Company controls the source of app distribution. Imagine this, Canonical manages to unify everything under snaps. The store works well, and the apps work fantastically.
Meanwhile, Canonical decides to ditch Ubuntu OS and decides to focus solely on servers and cloud services. The snap store is closed and we will no longer have access to a vast collection of apps.
Basically, they are building a close source fence around open source software.
@@sweetmelon3365 the snap server code is closed source and proprietary, only canonical can do things to it
But why, you'd think? Well, Canonical is trying to force its own packaging system onto everyone, so they can have total power. And then, they'll be able to put monetisation on the proprietary store, and then they'll get money. That's why Snaps haven't been replaced and why they try to force them in every way.
Now, if you're talking about the graphical frontend, GNOME Software does kinda suck in general. One thing I noticed thought is that all the graphical frontends take forever to load because of the traditional package system that doesn't work with graphical frontends that well. Once I switched to Kinoite which only uses flatpaks exclusively, the store loads near instantly unlike before
going to be honest, i made the full switch to linux OS's back in 2014 and do not recommend people switching. ive never had the issues that people seem to have but i think it might be due to me using amd everything. nvidia graphics cards seem to be the main cause of windows misbehaving.
I too am a AMD chip guy and basically have had little issue with any of the Linux distros I have run, and I have tried a bunch. Currently running Gruda Linux with KDE Plasma and Pop!OS with basically no issues. Thanks for sharing and God bless
I ran Manjaro for about 2 years without issue then I needed to use Bluetooth. Then I switched to Fedora and I loved it. Even the Gnome Desktop environment seemed charming. For no good reason I hopped to Debian and again, I've been running it trouble free. I haven't hopped on Ubuntu or any derivative in years and I don't miss it.
Bluetooth works flawlessly via pipewire on my Manjaro Gnome. Also running it for about two years. Had a few hiccups with updates, but overall extremely happy with it.
@@vasiliyivashin6668 I used to run Manjaro Xfce. I've never tried gnome on Manjaro. If I can get Wayland and pipewire, I'd give Manjaro a second look. Overall I enjoyed the experience. I just need to convince myself to switch away from safe, stable Debian once more. 😉
@@BanduTheGreat Yes, I run it with Wayland and pipewire. Bluetooth (with Intel 8260) works without any problems, so does screensharing that many complain about. I definitely got a few cuts from the edge along the way :) but I'm hooked on AUR and getting bugfixes and features quickly make it worth for me. But I'd never install it on a computer I don't deal with on a daily basis, or god forbid on a server.
I started with Ubuntu, then tried Ubuntu Mate and Manjaro. All of them gave me issues. My biggest gripe with Ubuntu is how difficult it is to customize. A lot of what I expect for general workflow is totally missing. I also had many hardware and software issues. I ended up switching to Linux Mint instead, and man, it's WAY better than anything else I've tried. Cinnamon is really nice and well organized. I highly recommend it for any new Linux users.
Mint with Liquorix kernel for the win..it is faster, with EasyEffects or JamesDSP music filters...no stuttering, And Vanessa fixed bluetooth and touchpadscreenrotation issues..on the whole better than zorin
I had a recent first time experience with Arch on old lower-power HP laptop, and it was amazing. I'm only using ubuntu for servers and docker, not for desktop. Much better option to start with Fedora or such distros.
I will make my mom use Arch btw
Use Arch on the servers too BTW.
I use arch on my streaming pc.. I just dont update it often :) maybe a monthly update will do
I’ve had many of the same problems with Ubuntu, going back nearly three years. I dropped it a few months ago and never looked back.
As a desktop experience, I always considered Ubuntu the most ''supported'' distro. For anything ''server'' related, I always used Debian for it's lesser ram footprint
I've found Fedora to be pretty solid
I'm firmly in the "20.04 ran beautifully but 22.04 was just dreadful and I had to install something else" camp. It became sluggish, buggy, unreliable, random. Eventually I had a mixture of snap, Flatpak and Debian packages as only one of the options would run at all. Then Firefox stopped opening, as did the software store. It's a shame, I had several good years in Ubuntu before that. I'm sure the Ubuntu team will stitch it all back together in due course but over now settled back into Mint and I'll be staying there
I downloaded Linux Mint with the intention of revisiting one of my old favorites. But after taking a look at the antiquated looking desktop. I couldn't bring myself the installed it and went with Pop!OS instead. I'm sure Linux meant still works very well, but I would highly encourage the design team to upgrade the look. God bless
Don't mind it, bro. I'm not a newcomer, I used to live from 16.04 till the last day of 20.04, and this time was so good acquirement. But today, I swear to my Holy God that I would never ever use any Ubuntu flavours any single day of my life, till they remove Snapd default package. Even if any of my friends ask me what distro should use for beginners, I'll drive them to Mint/Pop!_OS. God cursed Canonical pls!
@@lilith1504 Linux Mint is what I have two of my siblings using for years now, I might add, and Pop!_OS is another great beginner suggestion. That said, Ubuntu, yes, even with Snaps, has served me well. Nowadays, Arch-based distros are my preferred Linux distros, but I still regularly use Ubuntu-based distros weekly and Ubuntu proper. Ubuntu is better for me than Fedora. Sadly, this morning, I had to look-up how to update the Snap Store because it was unable to update because it was running. CRAZY!!!
God bless,
I agree with the part about gnome-extensions. My laptop runs Ubuntu and upgrading from 20.04 to 22.04 broke several extensions that are essential for saving screen space. :(
But that's not ubuntu's fault, it's not gnome's fault. Simply running an extension for an older version of gnome shell will not work on a newer version
I ma using Ubuntu since 2020. No issues at all, as long as you know what you are doing and you know how to use internet.
I am a loyal Ubuntu user. I tried like 30 other distros but they feel bloated, un-nessary, hardware memory hogging, etc. I like that I can keep 99% of updates and software off the ubuntu Linux system and add very slowly and tediously as needed to not waste computing power on my 12X core processor.
The really cool thing is that Ubuntu comes in many flavors. I personally like Xubuntu and Lubuntu. You can go very minimalistic or quite bloated.
Can you make a poll about what distro everybody in your community is using? Would be nice to see.
I tried Ubuntu in 2012. I didn't have high speed internet at that time, so getting help was a problem. I ended up deleting the HD partition and went back to Windows 7. When I am ticked off to the point of running my computer thru a crusher, I tend to delete the partition. The Ubuntu community was on a major toxic ego run, which made it impossible to get help. I remember booting to a command prompt and then start the GUI, that was back in 95. The idea of booting to Gnome has issues when you need to reset the setting for the GUI.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 and after some fixes I am more satisfied with 22.04. Of course, some criticism is justified, like the delayed opening of apps (because of snapd), but it is free OS and the kernels seem to be quite stable.
I couldn’t update to the newest Ubuntu LTS because it wouldn’t give me the option even if I tried.
Did a fresh install from 20.04 to 22.04 and no serious issues. As a matter of fact, I have an old HP printer, copy and scanner that the scanner had not worked for many years is now working.
I've had a similar experience with Ubuntu. At first install, it looks and works great but as I continue using it, small things start to hang or crash entirely. It's not Gnome because I can install an Arch distro and install and setup Gnome with all the extensions and it runs fine. Linux Mint is also a great Ubuntu variant that does not run Gnome and works flawlessly. Hard to know what is going on. I suspect it is a mix of missing dependencies and technologies being used under the hood that don't play nice together. Most people that use Ubuntu as intended OOB probably don't run into issues. It's probably people that try to hack certain things that run into issues.
I agree. Thanks and God bless
Ubuntu is known for altering gnome to the extent of breaking things. It is actually not vanilla gnome anymore but canonical's unity.
@@aladdin8623 That's not accurate because Canonical stopped using and officially support Unity back in 2017. See Wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(user_interface)
@@blackchristiangeek You seem to be a bit confused.
I love how you were to be so productive in the end once you resolved your issues from the initial install of Ubuntu Desktop
I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 36. I use Fedora for work, and Ubuntu for my personal stuff. I have no issues with either frankly.
In fact my “problem“ is now that all 3 distros with big companies behind them, Ubuntu, SuSE and Fedora run perfect for me so I absolutely cannot decide 😂😵😅
Ubuntu for packages
OpenSUSE for GUI configuration or rolling
Fedora for rock solid distro
I Recently switched over to Rocky 9 Desktop Experience. It has been rock solid so far. Definitely recommend for anybody looking for a solid Distro
I've been on Ubuntu for a while and I have had no issues. But I haven't done any modification to the system like removing snap and adding flatpaks. I just use the snaps and everything has been smooth so far.
There are many changes under the hood going on with Linux and Gnome at the moment. I'd say this LTS is going to have growing pains. After a point release or two I'd hope they iron out most of the issues.
As some one who switched from Ubuntu to Fedora a few months ago. I'm currently kinda mixed about Ubuntu, it is kinda fast but how you set up your system determines your performance. Like I didn't use snap packages (and I still don't), not because I heard that it's slow (like most people would say) but I just liked to install packages through its default package manager and through Debian files. And I removed a ton of stuff that I personally felt like I wouldn't need like Libre Office.
Now that I've been using Fedora for the past few months. I'll say that I enjoy using it more than Ubuntu. Because it is faster than Ubuntu, and there isn't too much useless stuff that I wouldn't need. And it just seems like a better distro for me, when I'm programming something random, playing a Linux compatible game, or just learning some more Linux (I would mostly do that on an old laptop that I like to use for experiments).
I tried the new Ubuntu but I had a lot of compatibly issues with my development tool chain so I switched to fedora 36 and have had much less issues except for a couple python libraries.
I’ll have to try out Wondershare. Thank you for doing transcripts.
Will you please spend a few weeks trying LM 21, I really have high hopes for LM as it is one of the few distros out there that most people would actually use.
I am running Kubuntu 22.04.1 on two machines without any problems. I am no fan of Gnome, but KDE is my desktop since the days of a SparcStation running 1.0. Keep it running!
Notable distros
- Fedora 36 (It just works)
- Pop!_OS (You a gamer? Out of the Box Linux gaming OS)
- Zorin OS (Looks nice)
- Feren OS (I've not used it in years)
- Elementry OS (Easy to get started, not recommended if you are a Linux main user)
Ubuntu and Canonical is starting to lag behind the entire Linux eco-system. I have stopped using any Canonical / Ubuntu services for years now. I'm on Fedora for my laptop, Pop!_OS for my desktop for years now. It's become my trusty no hiccups go-to distros now.
Got a BIG issue with Ubuntu desktop's right mouse button activation:
When you press the right button it enables the context menu, but if you hold it langer than a few nano-seconds that menu disappears again.
Just show the context menu when letting go of the button like every other desktop does!!!
I started out on Ubuntu, but for the reasons you mentioned and quite a few others, I stopped recommending it to people some time ago. These days, I usually recommend Fedora, openSUSE, EndeavourOS, MX Linux, or PopOS, depending on each person’s needs.
I either recommend KDE neon or Arch
@@minnalunar KDE Neon is great for people who want the latest KDE without using a rolling distro.
Ubuntu 20.04 was working well for me. I upgraded to 22.04 and started experiencing freezes that stop the OS completely (once a day or every two days). I've spent hours loooking for solutions and none have stopped the issue so far
Gnome 42 had a lot of issues, so I had reverted back to 20.04 with Gnome 3. I have upgraded few weeks ago again to Ubuntu 22.04 because now they have Gnome 42.2, and it works perfectly well for me. ( I use X-11, so I don't know if wayland is fine though on 22.04) Only problem I had was when I logged in it was by default opening on an overview, so I downloaded an extension "no overview at start up" and it is perfect now.
When I checked on "logs" on 20.04, I had always the same 2 important messages but on 22.04.1 I have 9 messages (edit, I only have 7 now, I just rechecked). I don't know really if it affects anything because I have zero problems using 22.04.1
I have multiple extensions and nothing freeze. Could be a specific extension that you are using that bug your system and/or your wayland.
For the desktop environment, I wouldn't recommend Gnome on Ubuntu to beginners, though. Unless someone shows them the tweaks and the extensions for a better and simple use or how to add like cinnamon desktop environment instead of Gnome, I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner. If someone knows already how to tweak and the extensions needed for a better experience, I think Ubuntu 22.04.1 is the best.
"no overview at startup"
I never understood the point of this extension. After login, you can't do anything without the overview, so you have to open it anyway.
@@dramaticnormanbates2605 huh, there was no overview at start up on Ubuntu 20.04 and on 22.04 it is it seems by default. No, I don't need the overview at all.
@@dramaticnormanbates2605 0:38 here is what is the overview. it opens like that by default on 22.04. I don't want that at the start up and I never use it anyway, like never. so even if you deactivate the "overview", it still was there by default on start up- so the "no overview at start up" get rid of it. It looks like a bug to me...
@@nietzschescodes Ah, I get it. It makes sense on "Ubuntu GNOME". For some reason I thought you were talking about the keyboard-centric vanilla GNOME desktop. My bad. :)
I can confirm that I am using the weather and other extensions without any issues on my Fedora system and almost without issues on an Arch Linux system (on two different computers, with modern hardware). Both of these distros have continued to deliver updates for GNOME after the release of ubuntu earlier this year.
So the problem really is ubuntu here: because it is an LTS release, it gets a lot less actual improvements until the next release (other than security bug fixes).
Meanwhile the extension developers of course continue to develop for newer versions of the GNOME desktop, and probably tend to pay less attention to older desktop versions like the one on ubuntu.
Luckilly the desktop is also more complete with the really nice extra theming improvements over the vanilla version (so that is a good thing), so extensions are a bit less of a need, but after a few years, things will get more and more outdated and adding things gets a something I would really eventually still want to do.
Like you say, ubuntu is super great when comes to the server. Not the desktop anymore. But yeah, the company it's mean goal is rather everything with servers and clouds, so that's not a surprise.
But, version 21 10 was even more drama and a lot has been fixed in 22 04.
Also, it must be said that a lot of performance the Firefox snap performance issues have been succesfully fixed by updates. So that's worth noting.
I switched to PopOS which is based on Ubuntu and installed Vanilla Gnome to replace Cosmic. Everything is very stable. I tried Ubuntu but it was exhibiting a strange and annoying delay to log in after I would insert my password.
I've been using Ubuntu on my main machine for the past two weeks, it's not bad, it just wasn't enough to make me forget about openSUSE. But if it works fine on your machine and you enjoyed the experience that's great.
Kubuntu is a better option for this release in my opinion, but Manjaro is a great option as well, it's basically like an LTS Arch based distro where you can choose between three levels of stability, 1. production ready, 2. production ready?, 3. If you want it take it. :)
I used the latest version of Ubuntu for around 30 minutes. That's it! Switched back to LMDE. I like Gnome but the extensions suck. A good percentage of extensions don't work. It's chaos, a total nightmare after awhile.
Thanks for the video and your honest experience. However, that has not the case for me, although I am not running Ubuntu 22.04 as my daily driver, I do use it fairly regularly and have had only a few issues. That said, since I switched to Linux as my primary OS I have largely used Arch based distros running KDE Plasma, and currently that's Gruda. Yes, I love it. My secondary boot option is Pop!OS and I didn't really have any negative to say about it, just not my distro of choice. Consequently, I recently (in last 2 weeks) stopped running Fedora 36 on Gnome. And I shared that because you and other Linux distro reviewers keep talking about how great Fedora is and I found it to be, well.....okay, but nothing that impressed me. I am planning on installing Fedora 37 with KDE Plasma to see if I'm any more impressed. Last point, I would still choose Ubuntu proper over Fedora running Gnome. Again, thanks for all you do and I pray 🙏🏾 that you and your family is well. God bless,
I primarily use Linux as a server OS, and I must say, it's hard to move onto any other distro. Ubuntu works really darn well. I usually go for the LTS releases.
I've been running ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my main computer for two years now, been working great and rock stable. I will however not be upgrading to 22.04, too many times have LTS upgrades broken something and prevented me from doing work.
I have fedora 36 running on my gaming computer, and while I've still not managed to get smooth 4k web video playback to work on it, apart from that it's been working great. I'm fond of both ubuntu and fedora. Ubuntu because in the decade I've been using it, I can install an LTS on my work machine and have it be stable and reliable for 5 years, and fedora for the cool new features such as btrfs. Plus both apt and dnf use very similar syntax which is very convenient
yes don't upgrade. First shift your home to a different partition, save the apt list -i and then do whatever you want.
I saw this video title, thumbnail and who uploaded, and I was like wtf.
Some orange transparent background wraps every windows by half and doesn't go away
I was using Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 for several weeks and it was perfect. Then the 22.04.1 update caused some breakage. I switched to Kubuntu 22.04.1 and it seems more stable so far. Various Ubuntu flavors can be a hit or miss with point updates.
Updates were breaking my 16 ubuntu, 18 ubuntu, 20 ubuntu, and now 22 version got broken... Worst distro ever. But I have to use it work.
At home I'm an Arch user btw, no problems.
I'm using Garuda Dragonized right now. It's been a good experience for me. I did switch the default Grub Menu theme to one that is on Gnome look because I prefer not having any dragon icons images on my devices. Also removed the boot splash screen for the standard SystemD words that come out. Switched the icons from the sweet icons to the candy icons.
I'm running the same distro and I too charged the theming because I just don't like the whole dark everything thing 😔 I love Arch based distros and Gruda Linux and been just about perfect for me. Thanks for sharing and God bless
As someone who has some understanding of computers, but doesn't do any coding etc, Ubuntu has proved the distro that I just haven't managed to brick accidentally since 20.04. It annoys me when people diss it because of slow updates or something. Most users like me care about stability, and security updates first of all. I understand the dislike for snaps though, I go for flatpaks when possible.
I switched to Fedora a while back because of a suggestion of Nick from "The Linux Experiment", I think it's ended my desire to distrohop. I might try others on old laptops, but my main linux machine is a Fedora machine.
My main desktop has been running Ubuntu since 2005. I also have a MacBook and a windows 11 laptop.
I need to use ubuntu, mainly for software support, but hate Gnome. KDE is closer to windows but better. Don't prefer KDE Neon because i'm not super crazy about bloating systems with all updated KDE Apps. So, using kubuntu for like a year now in one of my main machine, and I mostly spend my time on that. Using ubuntu/linux for like more than 3 years, I know most of the fixes and productivity booster tricks. And, i'm loving Kubuntu so much that I never felt switching distro.
Kubuntu really is the best...
No issues here, 22.04 is working more than good in my case!
I run Kubuntu 22.04 on my desktop pc. It is very stable. If you find yourself using Gnome extensions, I think you'll find similar functionality in KDE widgets, and they come baked into the.desktop environment. I've installed it boot & root on zfs, which takes some effort, but worth it for the ability to roll-back changes. I'm using Pipewire & Jack, which play nicely with Audacity, but not with Zoom. I recommend not using snaps because of performance penalty and using flatpak apps where available, which reduces app dependencies on the OS.
Now when all issues I've experienced seem to be in the past I can say I really love using Ubuntu!) I wanna return to it over and over)
But before that - you're right, I had some problems:
1) Ubuntu didn't want to wake up from sleep mode properly under the Wayland with Nvidia drivers while it didn't go to sleep mode under Nouveau driver. Ridiculous). Issue had gone after some updates.
2) Krita, GIMP, Lollypop, Kdenlive and some other apps should be installed from Flatpak. Not even because Flatpak is better - just because they are being outdated on Snap.
3) Recall should be installed directly from it's repository.
4) You are right as far as extensions settings concerned. I can say that they are available under X11 windowing system.
In brief, Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS can be recommended in my opinion. Thanks for the video and greetings from Ukraine! Keep working - I love your channel!
Been using Manjaro with gnome as my daily driver desktop OS for a couple years now, and man... It's stable as heck, but the random visual bugs in gnome are constant. Sometimes the visual bugs go away for awhile and come back as well. I figure this is a gnome thing and not a Manjaro thing, but at this point I can't be bothered switching to a different desktop environment at the risk of downtime to my desktop when it technically works fine.
Agreed. My recent Ubuntu Desktop experience was an absolute horseshit ride. Firefox and Thunderbird as snaps, starting up for about 5 to 10 seconds depending on hardware and perfomance profile. Random error messages. As a bonus, like all of that wasnt bad enough, multiple times computer just suddenly locked (yes, to the point of not being able to bring up different tty to see what's going on).
Swithed to Fedora, zero issues in 2 weeks of use and I will never look back to that dumpster fire experience that Ubuntu became. Honestly, how you can make pretty reliable Linux desktop experience THAT bad?
had an issue with ubuntu the other day and the fix was so weird, but before the fix it was driving me crazy and i was for the first time really considering switching distro to manjaro, but when i got it fixed, it was fixed and i saw no reason to do the switch, mainly because, if i did switch i know there is gonna be SO much work in setting everything up, i'm running custom audio drivers, a lot of customization on OBS and just in general a lot of customization on this entire setup.. this is probably why i should change, cause i don't think ubuntu works well with customization, customizing your ubuntu setup is usually when the system starts to show weird errors and such, but if you can use ubuntu as is, then i think it's a great choice, if all you need is what you get.
i'm sticking with ubuntu for now, mainly because my kid's PC's are running ubuntu as well and i know my self too well, if i switch my own setup out with manjaro i'm gonna get confused with the different commands and what not in terminal and end up switching their's out with manjaro as well (which btw is a good way to learn, doing things 3 times instead of just once).
been using popOS for several years sense it came out. hardly any issues. very stable.
the bad thing is that you have to uninstall everything and install it again using flatpack/deb because snap is really slow and makes everything looks laggy when multitasking. everything is amazing
I use Ubuntu on my main PC and Zorin OS (a variation or Ubuntu) on my laptop. I have had barely any issues switching from windows and macos to Linux.
I have the same experience with my server, I still rely on a desktop environment so I installed the XFCE desktop instead and that seemed to fix my issues, it's still kind of weird, but at this point its running ok :)
But I wouldn't run it on my main desktop due to the issue with Nvidia and Wayland, since Ubuntu is generally just going full Wayland now I'm still sticking to Pop!_OS and switching is not an option at this point :)
I've been using Linux Mint Mate and now switched to Kde Neon. I love Ubuntu too.
I understand the community spreading the work for KDEnlive as a video editor, but it has a ton of issues and the team needs a lot of help (the bug list is insane). Shotcut on the other hand is a stable experience with not nearly the amount of issues yet no one talks about it.
I can only export in webm format in kdenlive because the video comes out stuttering and crackling. Thanks for the alternative recommendation.
Shotcut? The absolutely broken editor that doesn't work?
@@lucyinchat You must be confused. I've used Shotcut across 5 systems on Fedora3x and have never ran into issues. Unlike the Scroll length bug list on KDEnlive. They do need developer help though.
@@hammerheadcorvette4 I've got several problems with it, and it is rather unusable with my workflow and intentions. Same with Openshot. Kdenlive and Pitivi are the only two I've never had problems that surpassed my experiences with proprietary options on windows. Olive is in beta and I can't recommend it due to that, but that's the best intended user experience of the bunch, imo.
Running Ubuntu 22.04 for the last 6 months without issue. Using OpenWeather and other extensions without issue. Bluetooth works fine. Running on a 12 year old laptop after Windows 7 was EOL'ed and tried Windows 10 which made the laptop pretty unusable, Linux saved it from the dump...
Is there a way to ac3 dts pass through using pipewire / pulse audio support ac3 pass through /
Directly alsa in some media linux support pass through /
Moved from Linux Mint 21 to Manjaro. Watched your video on Manjaro, and I don't know if I'll ever go back. It just works so well, and is snappy af on my 8 year old laptop.
fedora has been doing well for a long time now. few problems come up, updates and upgrades are smooth. once in a while I still run into some program I want to use but is only available for ubuntu
I have been using Linux for ages but gave up on "Ubuntu desktop trying to become like Windows" ages ago. Yes, I still use Ubuntu starting with the very basic server version with zero packages installed and then adding i3 switching window manager and installing individual deb packages using apt-get. I have to use snap packages I cannot find alternatives for on flathub including nvim as a snap - yes I know but this works better than anything else I have tried.. Recently I replaced all my snap apps that had flatpak alternatives and freed 11Gb disk space - conclusion is that snap is beyond ridiculous. I am still in Ubuntu 20.04 land and might be stuck here for a while longer. My current PC hardware is on it's last legs and when new hardware arrives, I will worry about upgrades.
All the discourse over Ubuntu 22.04 has me considering swapping form regular Linux Mint to LMDE.
Staying on 20.04. No problems. Fedora really impressed me though. I might start recommending that to people.
I don't know if it's just my hardware configuration working super well with Ubuntu, but I've never had any of the problems you have been having. I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu that wasn't user error or me just breaking the system. Breaking the system can happen on any distribution
I'm struggling with Ubuntu for 3 years now... Tried different versions, different approaches, updating it, not updating, it is all bad. But I have to use for my work because of the security reasons. At home I'm using Arch based distros and it is a fresh breath for me, what I relief when I'm using it, no random bugs, no freezes.
I quit using Ubuntu about 8 years ago because of issues and switched to Linux Mint, which has been near flawless.
I have open weather installed and it works smoothly. 🔥
fortunately, Ubuntu works fine for me, including the proprietary drivers, but on an old laptop i have, from 2007, but is still a nice laptop (top of the line fully loaded Macbook Pro in 2007 $4,000 USD back then) with a 17" high res display, so i still use it. Ubuntu stopped working on it with proprietary drivers (can no longer install them, but works fine without them except no hardware acccelerated graphics), so i tried different stuff and MX Linux works well on there; i was able to install proprietary drivers and can still play team fortress 2 on steam with it! aside from that, MX Linux just seems very well put together, with a lot of nice tools and good community support.
Nope.... still using Fedora as my main distro, though ;)
After quite a few problems, crashes and reinstalls with Ubuntu I swithched to PopOS 22.04 and it's been a better experience. Maybe they fixed stability problems in Ubuntu 22.04 but I hardly believe it.
thanks for the nice review about this topic. Like the general consensus I agree with your statement about Ubuntu - it use to be a distro I always tried but found that simple things just did not work from the start. I have switched to Endevour OS and have not distro hopped since is a new start for me. keep up with the interesting videos :)
I had the same experience: Ubuntu works perfectly on my raspberrypi server, but on my desktop I use manjaro.
Ohh man.. I'm I'm so happy that I stayed with pop-os! Running it in my work laptop since the 22 was released.
Really impressed with pop-os!
Try it ;)
I think, and this is just my opinion. People that doesn't have issues with Ubuntu are just dedicated to programing, don't use graphics apps and dont work with graphics cards.
I use GIMP, Krita, Blender , DaVinci Resolve, OBS studio, Wacom tablet and gaming on Ubuntu.
X11. Gnome but not the one came with Ubuntu.
I do a lot of 3D rendering, video editing, audio editing.
I use Ubuntu because Nvidia RTX card and Wacom tablet work out of the box.
@@nicholascureton933 Because of Nvidia, Wacom, Maya and Renderman I use Rocky Linux, exactly of what you do. One question I have is: Just loading the system, no additional tasks, how much RAM consumes? It brokes Graphics driver with every update? It gets slow with the time used? I noticed that to use everything with no issues out of the box and zillions of software in repos. Manjaro or any Arch Linux that is heavy dedicated to users interface. Linux Mint is even more polished than Ubuntu.
@@digitalpotato4867 RAM usage is 1.2GB at idle state.
So I disable startup apps, disabled unnecessary services etc.
After that, Ubuntu consume 900MB of RAM at the startup.
Not much but still a lot better than windows which take 3.92GB at idle state.
Graphics driver broken just a few days ago. Never happened before.
Turn out I've been using testing beta like version of Nvidia driver which is 515.
One of the Stack overflow answer wrote the driver version that end with 5 is testing, not stable.
So I re-installed 510 version. Everything is working fine now.
Gnome tend to slow while using it for long. I mean uptime.
But I experienced it very long time ago with 2GB RAM PC.
Not happens yet on today Gnome. I reboot PC every 6 hours to take a rest.
Maybe that's why unlike servers which are running for years.
I also use Appimages, mostly. Made shortcut desktop files for it.
I don't like snap or flatpak because of the very large download size.
I don't use swap partition. Because Gnome tend to offload UI and other stuff to swap partition if you're not actively using some app. It make gnome very slow because Gnome is loading thing from swap which is very slow on HDD. So I don't use swap. Every running apps is now on RAM. If I switch to a app window which I don't use it for a while let say 45 min, it's now fast.
Tried Arch but it's not good for someone with limited internet access.
I can't afford to update the entire system often.
And I don't wanna compile most of the softwares because of time.
I prefer my time to do 3D stuffs not compiling apps.
I use LTS version so major update is only every two years.
I've think Linux Mint might be better because it have no snap I guess.
I don't like the Mints UI. It look like Windows Vista. Old.
If Ubuntu is continue forcing users to use snap,
I'll probably switch to Linux Mint and install Gnome.
Oh...I use minimal Ubuntu Install because I don't like bloated system.
I install apps what I need.
I've to install a lot of small things after OS installation.
Mostly Pipewire for audio, Gstreamer for Nautilus thumbnails and network manager for VPN.
My system doesn't even have office softwares and a lot of other software that came with Ubuntu default installation.
In my limit knowledge, I can customize most Linux distro as I want because they are very similar.
I don't do distro hopping because of that. I just remove unnecessary things from the system.
But I downloaded RockyLinux iso file tho. But I haven't tested it yet.
