Installed on my home built chosen compatible parts machine with MSI B550-A-Pro, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super 16gb, Memory 16GB, 1GB M.2 and it runs fast, smooth no issues. All apps including apps installed from Store are working with no problems. Gave up Microsoft Windows 11 Pro that I had installed first and was disappointed in the directions Microsoft has chosen to take in the 21st century with the windows operating system.
Tried several linux distros but found that Ubuntu Cinnamon worked the best out of what I had tried on this system. Not saying that this flavor will work for everyone but as for me its great. It even topped Linux Mint... which is normally what I have previously worked with. Keep up the great work Ubuntu Cinnamon team. Happy so far.
Installed just fine. disappointed that partitions did not open right up...but happy to see that by clicking
on the file manager opened each drive and partition and put it on the desktop. would like to see an
analog clock instead of the digital version. terminal is good. Start menu is good. Not too happy with Themes.
seems to be poor choices in COLOR. either Black or faded out color scheme. but other wise...very very nice.
would like to see the panel open up about twice the size currently shown.
I've spun this up again, running the 23.10 version, so like it, I've not changed anything as the defaults suit me really well.
After enabling flatpaks in the software centre it's running just how I want it.
I don’t have an issue with Snap’s as they offer a huge selection of software, there is no performance difference between snaps and flatpak’s, certainly not on a VM or my own hardware. I always install on bare metal as VM’s do not give you the insight into how a distro performs or how compatible it is.
What was a bit odd is a Debian logo is displayed at the login screen ?!
pros: stock Ubuntu, so great support, beautiful design, good choice of colours/graphics, clean, quick, excellent compatibility, 6.5 Linux kernel
cons: Lacking themes selection, not as polished as Linux Mint, doesn’t offer anything extra or unique, such as Mint’s webapp manager or usb writer tools.
In summary, I like the clean interface and sensible choice of apps in the distro, ...installation was a breeze, automatically picked up all my hardware including network printer...however I’ll stick to Mint (with snaps enabled)
