My first distribution was Linux Mint, but I kept having to deal with small but annoying errors. After a few others, I also tested Ubuntu 22.04 and I have to say: I don't miss anything at all from what I had in Win10. My hardware has been running great system-wide since day one. I can surf, play games, listen to music and every program starts very quickly and is there immediately. Of course I have heard of the many criticisms of the snaps, but I have to say that the critics who say snaps slow down the system should install 22.04 again today and try it out for themselves. My PC runs stable, fast and secure,...what more could I want and I'm happy to have turned my back on Redmond! Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 22.04 Rating: 1 Date: 2024-02-13 Votes: 0 I've been using Ubuntu for over ten years or more. Loved it for its stability, ease of use and lack of bloatware. The last week I've been going through hell after what I think was a minor weekly update which basically rendered my computer useless. After going through all the forums, reverting back to 20.04.3 and returning to 22.04.6, it seems the problem has to do with systemd-oomd. Even though 20.04.3 doesn't have systemd-oomd it was still doing the same - freezing and shutting down programs. Some in the forums say linux computer users need to increase their RAM, or remove swap, or other suggestions; but the simple thing is that Ubuntu has been working fine for over a decade and suddenly it freezes and is rendered useless and there is nothing the average person can do, not even disabling, masking, or completely removing systemd-oomd (the kernel already has its own oom). If one moment all was working and then it freezes and shuts down programs, it can't be the RAM, or lack thereof. Going by the forums it has been a problem for over a year or two. I am now looking for an O/S without systemd (or snap), Slackware looks good, or maybe even FreeBSD or GhostBSD. I would prefer to stay with Ubuntu since I like its uncomplicated desktop and the dock that hides to give one a full screen. Computers are no longer a luxury, they are vital for production now. I may go back to Ubuntu - I was very comfortable with it; but I can't trust it anymore. I have two other computers with Ubuntu that are still going fine - one with 20.04.6 and one with 22.04.3, the former being mission critical; but I won't be applying any more updates or upgrades on these.
