@@boredblunt8492 Nvidia changed their opinion in 2020 and say that they will support Wayland now. 10 years too late but better than never. Hope that until 22.04 comes out they keep their promise.
I decided to install just out of curiosity, and so far without problems, it is working very well. I had no problem even creating the USB live. It's weird.
Lol boring y use the dev versions more hardware support and less bloatware if you know how to setup permissions and what apps conflicting with each other you are line with latest releases latest releases have less bugs and far more secure 😀
For most of these things, I say it's just you mate. I installed 21.04 from live usb completely perfectly, so did 2 of my friends. For the apps crashing part I somwhat agree, Cheese is a bit glitchy for me. But nonetheless I guess no harm in sticking with 20.04 for a while longer.
Same thing here, Ubuntu is perfectly fine. Ran into an installation problem with 21.10 but that was a bug due to my hardware configuration. In order to get 21.10, had to install 20.04 then upgrade to 21.10. 21.04 seemed to have the same installer bug. My only problem is the shitty Nvidia drivers causing janky/stuttering UI issues. Just switched to Mate Desktop, boom problem gone. USB Creation issues are user-error, but some machines are also really damn picky I've noticed as well.
I installed it 3 days ago.... Already switched back to the LTS version. 21.04 installed fine for me but after installation I had a ton of instantly with opening apps and GUI glitches. It was just unusable.
@@AverageLinuxUser I have created a bootable through Rufus on Windows 10 using a beta release and a stable release. And I also did one from Arch Linux by just copying the stable ISO into a Ventoy USB. They worked all of the times.
Please check it ventoy, it's an excellent way to create bootable drives, just install ventoy to drive, format partiiton as fat32 and just "copy" the isos directly no need to extract to disks and you can copy multiple iso and choose on boot
I tried 21.04 installs on 2 different laptops . I used “Ventoy” as bootable USB-stick and copied the ISO just to the stick. I had no issues at all with booting the image from USB. Might be an issue on your laptop?
I'm using Wayland on Ubuntu 20.10. It works fine except with a few apps -- Updater (the update works but the screen freezes) and Audacity (playback works but with no playback cursor). Boot and desktop start times are fast. Ubuntu doesn't show the notification to upgrade to 21.04 yet because they know there are problems with the upgrade failing on some computers.

There is one thing you didnt check, to do all this things with another usb . Maybe yours is dying or corrupt. Thank you for your review, hope y do a follow up video
No, the reason is because of how MSI implements secure boot. Some USB installer creators will handle this correctly like Rufus and Unetbootin, whereas Etcher shits the bed most of the time. The workaround is to disable secure boot and enable legacy bios booting, but then you lose some advanced UEFI functionality and support for things like pass-through for virtual machines.
I was using elementary os till recently. However I had issues with opening images between rawtherapee and gimp or gimp and darktable. So I moved to ubuntu 21.04.

Do you guys not face the issue of "Bluetooth headset microphone not detected" in Ubuntu 20.04 ? This issue is so frustrating how come are they not fixing it
Gnome's Bluetooth has always been crap. Especially for headsets. I have seen tons of questions about it in Gnome 40 too (Fedora). It's not an Ubuntu / Debian problem, it's Gnome problem.
I was looking forward to upgrading to 21.04 for the kernel update. I think I'll just upgrade the kernel another way (which I know is possible, I've just never done it). What I also find odd is that I've got my update settings so that I should be alerted and asked to upgrade to the latest version, but it that hasn't happened yet after I have it check for updates. Usually I'm prompted about the latest update.
Ah if you use the pc intensively some cro jobs are postponed actually you can disregard this video the man has hardware problems bad stick and due to that also mad instalation y recomend to use a external disk or a verry high quality usb stick whenit Coms to operating systems everything is related from the start y have the 21.04 running side by side with android on my phone using kde desktop y managed to install even on mac hardware and on iphone 7
Bro being honest im having a good time with 20.04. I can play csgo, i can code, use blender, i even be able to use ableton 10 suite, it never crash. I have a i5 from 2014, 16gb ram ddr3, a radeon rx 570 and a hyper x sdd. My pc boot int 22 seconds and turn off in 7 seconds. That is fast. Btw your laptop is a msi 15' creator? Im thinking about buying one of those. The only issue is that nvidia graphics card will be useless on linux and to be honest i dont want to dual boot Windows. People Use the ubuntu 20.04.2 💪🏽 And have a good time. Good video broski
DD worked with bs=4096 but not 1M or 4M. Nvidia and Wayland have issues but works great with my AMD Ryzen Vega GPU. And changes in kernel 5.11 are major for ASUS ROG laptops, like keyboard backlight now works.
The open source nvidia drivers are extremely poor due to Nvidia not providing programming details or firmware.... if you are using Nvidia you really shouldn't consider using Wayland at all... You will need to use AMD or Intel graphics for with Wayland. I have not encountered the issues you raised with 21.04, but due to some tools I use (such as simple screen recorder) not yet supporting wayland, etc... I choose to stick with Xorg, although I have tested Wayland (on AMD graphics) and I see none of the graphical issues you reported.
You can install linux-zen linux-zen-headers and nvidia-dkms if you want to . Then simply remove older kernel and headers , regenerate mkinitcpio , re configure grub and boom you linux-zen
You and I are consanguineous. I encountered almost all these problems. I noticed Kdenlive default snap install did not work. VLC opened mulitple icons in my notification area. I could not use Etcher to create the boot disk. I used Unetbootin too. I had all these problems on April 23
There's nothing to see with Ubuntu 21.04. Fedora 34 is great as is Arco Linux running Gnome (40.1). POP OS has been better for a long time. Wayland is great but until Nvidia drivers work what's the point of using it?
Sandisk USB sticks are the only one working without problems when making bootable media. Avoid Kingston, they may boot but it takes 5-10 minutes and then the install takes 3-4 hours or fail before that.
I use the Cinnamon Desktop, which doesn't use Wayland anyway as far as I know. I had similar issues when I tried to test Ubuntu 21.04. But right now, I'm using the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix built on 21.04. It's excellent, but it comes with gnome data mining and tracking software pre-installed. Those, and numerous other packages had to go. I've used Wayland with Gnome on the same hardware that I usually run Xorg with Cinnamon on. I know it's supposed to be better and faster than Xorg, but I haven't seen any difference. This is with an AMD/ATI Radeon card. I got away from NVIDIA several years ago. To be clear, I'm not a fan of Ubuntu. Never have been. I prefer Debian-based distros running on the Bullseye and Sid repos. Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix caught my attention because it runs on a generic kernel 5.11, which is newer than the latest Debian kernel on Sid. May be a Liquorix kernel.
Lol you are a funny guy ubuntu is alo debian based distro try kde and wayland is fast but not on faulty hardware the thing is that unix systems even mac os in the core unix is an operating system that is designed zo work on servers that is cofigurated in nodes of skalable computers wich work as a unit thatswhy it seems slow the kernel of linux is monolithic and not modular like windows where hardware and network has ther own sections Linux is designed like clien server principles so comunixate each package you are aditionaly installing need somehow to send and receive information thatswhy on some distros it is adviced to compile everything from sourxe each time a new hardware comes to the kernel
I installed 21.04 and gnome kept getting stuck on activities when pressing the super key, after restart it didn't recognize my external monitors.. so back to 20.04
On my side i can insure that Ubuntu 21.04 is so fast stable and smooth i don't know what happened on your side or maybe it's your hardware but this release is noticeably quick and responsive
Did you run Etcher on Windows? I tried only the AppImage on Linux. I am sure it depends on the hardware. I purposefully test distros on that hardware that is not the most suitable for Linux. However, KDE Neon, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu 20.04 works fine on the same hardware I used in this review.
@@AverageLinuxUser I run Etcher on KDENEON which is based on Ubuntu 20.04. used Ubuntu 20.10 for some times and i can tell on my ends that this release which is Ubuntu 21.04 is way faster in opening apps and other daily tasks ..
That's quite strange; I had a usual usb drive setup process with etcher; no issues whatsoever. I couldn't speak for Nvidia graphics and wayland but all works great with AMD graphics ( I haven't seen Radeon pro drivers for this release though and the 20.04 v20.50 didn't work so well )
If you have enterprise grade hardware the lack of drivers it a common thing under linux also do not install drivers from the web use the drivers from the repository use synaptic or muon or any package manager and search for the desired driver the driver installer does not work allways and if you chose to install manually it is neccesary to blacklist the kernel drivers for that particular hardware
I am still using 20.04, and quite happy except for the screen tearing. I just cannot solve it, and its very annoying. I've tried just about everuthing. Not going to 21.04 anytime soon after watching this.
Crooked hands and a poor English accent are the crucial reasons for your problems. I have never had any of these problems that you just mentioned for many years. But to be honest, I have to add that 21.04 is actually an unstable release and not recommended for usage as a primary operating system. Just use Long Term Support releases and have some fun. Or use unstable releases for testing and give up judging it as crap.
Ubuntu 21.04 is like always almost perfect and it has one major improvement, it supports now a 3 level storage hierarchy! 1. I had absolutely no problem installing Ubuntu 21.04 using the Ubuntu StartUp Disk Utility. 2. I had no problems with Wayland on my AMD desktop and not on my Intel iGPU laptop. So you probably did run into open source video driver issues with your specific NVIDIA hardware. For me Wayland is perfectly usable and it is faster than Xorg on both AMD 3 2200G desktop and Intel i5-2520M laptop. 3. You overlooked one major change. ZFS-on-Linux 0.8.4 is replaced by OpenZFS 2.0.2, which is a joint development between Linux and FreeBSD. It has a number of improvements and the major improvements are encryption and a persistent SSD cache. So Ubuntu now supports a three level storage hierarchy, that I use as follows on my 16GB desktop: - max 4 GB memory cache (L1ARC) containing ~7.1 GB of lz4 compressed records; - 120 GB SSD cache (L2ARC) containing ~198 GB of lz4 compressed records; - one datapool with 2 x 500 GB striped and lz4 compressed HDD partitions and one datapool with one single 500 GB lz4 compressed HDD partition. My virtual machines boot from L2ARC and run from L1ARC. It like running e.g a Fedora 34 VM from RAM disk. I'm using Wayland also in Fedora 34 and also there no issues, it is rock solid with Gnome 40. You had too many strange problems, maybe you should test your memory and disk.
I just do sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt autoremove every day when I sit at my computer. My personal laptop only has an Intel UHD video card, but my company laptop, which has nvidia, recently has caused me issues anyway.
I use unetbootin long long ago and still I'm using it. Even in 20.04 is also having that type of glitches. Hmm thats interesting 21.04 is having same 🐞
Ah quitly the oposite ubuntu is 2 cersions behind the mainline kernel so new hardware is printed as engineer sample the rest is opld hardware even today you can purchase parts for PCs made 15 year's ago that toes not make the hardware new it is unused
I tihink it is unfair to criticize Ubuntu because it runs poorly on wayland over nvidia. They themselves avoid wayland over nvidia!!! You can go now and test macos big sur over nvidia also... if you manage to boot it up!!! Yet, it is true that there should be a team of visual changes for any major release. We live for change.
I have a suitable quote from a random guy on the internet: "FU, Nvidia!" - Linus Torvalds.
The real important quote is the sentence before that: "Nvidia is the worst company we ever worked with".
I have never seen Nvidia drivers work well with wayland, most distros default to X-org if Nvidia is used, it is not a unique problem to Ubuntu.
Exactly, and they're not solving the problem either

Gnome's Bluetooth has always been crap. Especially for headsets. I have seen tons of questions about it in Gnome 40 too (Fedora). It's not an Ubuntu / Debian problem, it's Gnome problem.
@@beardedgeek973 These small problems are making me feel to shift to Windows again
I was looking forward to upgrading to 21.04 for the kernel update. I think I'll just upgrade the kernel another way (which I know is possible, I've just never done it). What I also find odd is that I've got my update settings so that I should be alerted and asked to upgrade to the latest version, but it that hasn't happened yet after I have it check for updates. Usually I'm prompted about the latest update.
Ah if you use the pc intensively some cro jobs are postponed actually you can disregard this video the man has hardware problems bad stick and due to that also mad instalation y recomend to use a external disk or a verry high quality usb stick whenit Coms to operating systems everything is related from the start y have the 21.04 running side by side with android on my phone using kde desktop y managed to install even on mac hardware and on iphone 7
here I am watching it from Ubuntu 21.04 with no problems on a laptop
do u dual boot or just linux
Bro being honest im having a good time with 20.04. I can play csgo, i can code, use blender, i even be able to use ableton 10 suite, it never crash.
I have a i5 from 2014, 16gb ram ddr3, a radeon rx 570 and a hyper x sdd. My pc boot int 22 seconds and turn off in 7 seconds. That is fast.
Btw your laptop is a msi 15' creator? Im thinking about buying one of those. The only issue is that nvidia graphics card will be useless on linux and to be honest i dont want to dual boot Windows.
People Use the ubuntu 20.04.2 💪🏽
And have a good time.
Good video broski
DD worked with bs=4096 but not 1M or 4M. Nvidia and Wayland have issues but works great with my AMD Ryzen Vega GPU. And changes in kernel 5.11 are major for ASUS ROG laptops, like keyboard backlight now works.
I haven't had any issues with the native startup disk creator
If you are on Ubuntu 20.10, You'll still have to update it for the next 3 months.
Y am on dev Chanel y update it dayly lol sometimes even 4 times a day lol y an an update freak but if you have latest hardwre 6ou do not have a choice
I'm using kubuntu 21.04 on AMDGPU open source drivers without any errors. It's smooth
The open source nvidia drivers are extremely poor due to Nvidia not providing programming details or firmware.... if you are using Nvidia you really shouldn't consider using Wayland at all... You will need to use AMD or Intel graphics for with Wayland. I have not encountered the issues you raised with 21.04, but due to some tools I use (such as simple screen recorder) not yet supporting wayland, etc... I choose to stick with Xorg, although I have tested Wayland (on AMD graphics) and I see none of the graphical issues you reported.
I would love a tutorial about linux-zen installation in manjaro i can't find a way to do it 😭
You can install linux-zen linux-zen-headers and nvidia-dkms if you want to . Then simply remove older kernel and headers , regenerate mkinitcpio , re configure grub and boom you linux-zen
#1 did you check the grub-options? looks like something is missing...
I upgraded to this Ubuntu version how to downgrade?
i also had problem on ubuntu 20.4 with balck screen. You could just boot it with save grafics and it will work.
the problems that you are saying did affect my installation but it stopped after some boot ups
You and I are consanguineous. I encountered almost all these problems. I noticed Kdenlive default snap install did not work. VLC opened mulitple icons in my notification area. I could not use Etcher to create the boot disk. I used Unetbootin too. I had all these problems on April 23
There's nothing to see with Ubuntu 21.04. Fedora 34 is great as is Arco Linux running Gnome (40.1). POP OS has been better for a long time. Wayland is great but until Nvidia drivers work what's the point of using it?
Thank *you* for making this video to let people know.
Linux mint has definitely taken over the spot as the best go to new user friendly distro.
Unless you're trying to run it on an old Mac
Yes ! Linux Mint 20.1 works great on my elderly Macbook Pro 13 inch model.
Sandisk USB sticks are the only one working without problems when making bootable media. Avoid Kingston, they may boot but it takes 5-10 minutes and then the install takes 3-4 hours or fail before that.
I use the Cinnamon Desktop, which doesn't use Wayland anyway as far as I know. I had similar issues when I tried to test Ubuntu 21.04. But right now, I'm using the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix built on 21.04. It's excellent, but it comes with gnome data mining and tracking software pre-installed. Those, and numerous other packages had to go. I've used Wayland with Gnome on the same hardware that I usually run Xorg with Cinnamon on. I know it's supposed to be better and faster than Xorg, but I haven't seen any difference. This is with an AMD/ATI Radeon card. I got away from NVIDIA several years ago. To be clear, I'm not a fan of Ubuntu. Never have been. I prefer Debian-based distros running on the Bullseye and Sid repos. Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix caught my attention because it runs on a generic kernel 5.11, which is newer than the latest Debian kernel on Sid. May be a Liquorix kernel.
Lol you are a funny guy ubuntu is alo debian based distro try kde and wayland is fast but not on faulty hardware the thing is that unix systems even mac os in the core unix is an operating system that is designed zo work on servers that is cofigurated in nodes of skalable computers wich work as a unit thatswhy it seems slow the kernel of linux is monolithic and not modular like windows where hardware and network has ther own sections Linux is designed like clien server principles so comunixate each package you are aditionaly installing need somehow to send and receive information thatswhy on some distros it is adviced to compile everything from sourxe each time a new hardware comes to the kernel
Running 21.04 on an HP Thin Client 730 without a glitches, no nvidia adapter btw, xorg is the past and wayland the futur.
You are right! Ubuntu 21.04 has these flaws, I must reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
proper non blurry 125 and 150% dpi scaling on wayland...
unless they implement that they can shove it up their..
In my opinion, one should never use ubuntu as a daily driver. I think it works fine as a base, but always go with something like Mint, PopOS, etc.
ive already upgraded it now what to do
In my book, if it's not LTS i don't touch with a 10 foot pole.
That said, AMD Radeon are Linux Heroes with their kernel integrated drivers.
Lol you are funny those are compatibility drivers similarz to the Microsoft one
I installed 21.04 and gnome kept getting stuck on activities when pressing the super key, after restart it didn't recognize my external monitors.. so back to 20.04
Check your hardware ram nostly sounds like bad ram
On my side i can insure that Ubuntu 21.04 is so fast stable and smooth i don't know what happened on your side or maybe it's your hardware but this release is noticeably quick and responsive
Oh and by the way used Itcher to burn the USB driver and it works without any problem from the first try as always
Did you run Etcher on Windows? I tried only the AppImage on Linux.
I am sure it depends on the hardware. I purposefully test distros on that hardware that is not the most suitable for Linux. However, KDE Neon, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu 20.04 works fine on the same hardware I used in this review.
@@AverageLinuxUser I run Etcher on KDENEON which is based on Ubuntu 20.04. used Ubuntu 20.10 for some times and i can tell on my ends that this release which is Ubuntu 21.04 is way faster in opening apps and other daily tasks ..
Four different installs, ZERO issues. 1XGnome. 1X Cinnamon. 2X KDE. Zero issues. Different kinds of hardware. Zero issues.
I got this message when I tried to install. "grub register command lockdown not found" dont know what is wrong ..
One more problem... Thanks for sharing
Just upgraded to 20.04 and 21.04 was already released???? OMG
That's quite strange;
I had a usual usb drive setup process with etcher; no issues whatsoever. I couldn't speak for Nvidia graphics and wayland but all works great with AMD graphics ( I haven't seen Radeon pro drivers for this release though and the 20.04 v20.50 didn't work so well )
If you have enterprise grade hardware the lack of drivers it a common thing under linux also do not install drivers from the web use the drivers from the repository use synaptic or muon or any package manager and search for the desired driver the driver installer does not work allways and if you chose to install manually it is neccesary to blacklist the kernel drivers for that particular hardware
I am still using 20.04, and quite happy except for the screen tearing. I just cannot solve it, and its very annoying. I've tried just about everuthing. Not going to 21.04 anytime soon after watching this.
Crooked hands and a poor English accent are the crucial reasons for your problems. I have never had any of these problems that you just mentioned for many years. But to be honest, I have to add that 21.04 is actually an unstable release and not recommended for usage as a primary operating system. Just use Long Term Support releases and have some fun. Or use unstable releases for testing and give up judging it as crap.
I did upgrade from terminal, everything is fine till now 🤞
Ubuntu 21.04 is like always almost perfect and it has one major improvement, it supports now a 3 level storage hierarchy!
1. I had absolutely no problem installing Ubuntu 21.04 using the Ubuntu StartUp Disk Utility.
2. I had no problems with Wayland on my AMD desktop and not on my Intel iGPU laptop. So you probably did run into open source video driver issues with your specific NVIDIA hardware. For me Wayland is perfectly usable and it is faster than Xorg on both AMD 3 2200G desktop and Intel i5-2520M laptop.
3. You overlooked one major change. ZFS-on-Linux 0.8.4 is replaced by OpenZFS 2.0.2, which is a joint development between Linux and FreeBSD. It has a number of improvements and the major improvements are encryption and a persistent SSD cache. So Ubuntu now supports a three level storage hierarchy, that I use as follows on my 16GB desktop:
- max 4 GB memory cache (L1ARC) containing ~7.1 GB of lz4 compressed records;
- 120 GB SSD cache (L2ARC) containing ~198 GB of lz4 compressed records;
- one datapool with 2 x 500 GB striped and lz4 compressed HDD partitions and one datapool with one single 500 GB lz4 compressed HDD partition.
My virtual machines boot from L2ARC and run from L1ARC. It like running e.g a Fedora 34 VM from RAM disk.
I'm using Wayland also in Fedora 34 and also there no issues, it is rock solid with Gnome 40.
You had too many strange problems, maybe you should test your memory and disk.
peter . Holland . Thank you .
I just do sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt autoremove every day when I sit at my computer. My personal laptop only has an Intel UHD video card, but my company laptop, which has nvidia, recently has caused me issues anyway.
I always have problems with Nvidea and Linux. I always use AMD cards on Linux.
From the creators of "do not the cat":
Do not ubuntu 21.04
Lol y did when it camed out no issues encounter steam blender wine work as designed
@@adriancoanda9227 it basically started to glitch like the app grid showing even when I closed it and more
I use unetbootin long long ago and still I'm using it. Even in 20.04 is also having that type of glitches. Hmm thats interesting 21.04 is having same 🐞
Does anyone have Bluetooth issues?
this video: this is why you shouldn't use ubuntu 21.04
us: hmm darker mode
Ubuntu 20.10 users: *Upgrade. Upgrade. Upgrade. It is your only choice. 20.10 will lose support in 3 months (or re-install 20.04 LTS)*
It works great . What you on about
Luckily I didn't upgrade to ubuntu 21.04. Thank you for this video.
Making new Ubuntu distros work in relatively new hardware is a pain nowdays.
Ah quitly the oposite ubuntu is 2 cersions behind the mainline kernel so new hardware is printed as engineer sample the rest is opld hardware even today you can purchase parts for PCs made 15 year's ago that toes not make the hardware new it is unused
I tihink it is unfair to criticize Ubuntu because it runs poorly on wayland over nvidia. They themselves avoid wayland over nvidia!!! You can go now and test macos big sur over nvidia also... if you manage to boot it up!!! Yet, it is true that there should be a team of visual changes for any major release. We live for change.
I hope you're not joking 🤣
Staying on 20.04 for a while
AT LEAST NOT YET!!!
Good to know. One more reason 4 many to stick with arch/arco linux. Rolling and stable for 2 years now.
Ubuntu 20.04 works perfectly for me. Just try syncing the Ethereum blockchain with something else.
Use rufus in gpt and it will boot
I've had not a single problem with 21.04
