Also I guess I'm using the wayland version, which runs without noticing the change. Maybe for developments, I'd like to stay with the deb version felt some bluriness with some of the snap versions. I don't know if they are the future but they still have some work ahead. debs are great. Last but not least, Ubuntu is one of the easyest to install, configure and maintain because so many website's article and news to follow. Ubuntu deserves a big 9. (PS I've used it as a full replacement of windows since 2010) Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 24.04 Rating: 10 Date: 2024-08-29 Votes: 10 Been using Ubuntu since 2010 on multiple laptops and desktops. Updated from 22.04 to 24.04 on a 14 year old Gen 1 I7 iMac, this 11 year old Gen 3 i5 Windows lap top and a 4 year old Gen 10 i7 Windows all in one. The only glitches encountered were self inflicted on the Windows all in one, otherwise no problems, as with previous Ubuntu installs and updates. All machines run fine, except the i5 lap top is a tad slow at start-up. The old iMac is pretty snappy despite having only 4 gigs of ram. I gave up on Windows 11 on the all in one due to last months Windows update totally messing up start-up and connecting with wifi. No such problems with Ubuntu. So far it has enabled continued life/usefulness for two old machines. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 24.04 Rating: 9 Date: 2024-08-21 Votes: 6 New Nvidia RTX 40 series works perfect on Ubuntu 24.04 and i get better performance than Windows in this time, Ubuntu finally beated Windows at Nvidia CUDA performance, but upgrading to 24.04 form 22.04 is not opened and we waiting still but its not a big deal. I experienced some freezes, on apps sometimes they not opening like Settings app not starting, its fixed now i think, on laptops i had desktop graphical glitchs triggers by something unknown. New Gnome version is great for good looking and i think Ubuntu can make it better a bit for console , espacially some apps stuck at Gnome 42 or 41 which is console, if its updated then everything will be great, the performance is awesome, but one thing that annoys me is Ubuntu doesnt care Snap Store but cares snaps apps, Snap Store full of exploits and infected apps are not controlled by Ubuntu so thats a dissapointment, if everything is deb than its will be fine espacially snaps are so slow, for example Firefox, when i install Ubuntu im deleting snap and installing deb version which is 4 times faster, try it.
