Yes No Version: 24.04 Rating: 1 Date: 2024-11-13 Votes: 0 As for this distribution, which was rock solid with the 20.04 and 22.04 releases, almost nothing works with this one. I wanted to install it on my Thinkpad L430, i3 processor, 8 GB ram, but already during the installation process some kind of background program crashed. Those who review this mess on YT and various sites probably use different hardware. the problem is that the synonym Ubuntu = reliability and stability no longer applies. If you have the luxury, avoid this mess by all means, prefer a distribution with an older base, but it will work all the more stably during installation. The rule here is, if you want Ubuntu, look for a derivative Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 24.04 Rating: 4 Date: 2024-11-03 Votes: 0 I used to have high praises for ubuntu, I still have 21.04 on a cloud hosted linux box I use to spin up game servers, now days its turned to the dark side. All the official flavors are contaminated with snaps, installing a program through apt gives me snaps, what...?? At least with flatpak, Its with a different command, there is no confusion when you want a flatpak, but with snaps you are just slipped a pill without your consent. I'm now avoiding snap like the plague. The only good thing to be said about ubuntu these days is they have big money behind their distro, and downstream forks can benefit from that.
