I have had very good luck with Lenovo Thinkpads, you can get them refurbished at reasonable prices. If you want a machine with preinstalled Linux you can look at System 76, Slimbook and others. Some dells work well also. You have choices.

Yep, Discover is a KDE thing. I don't use it much. Still use apt and always install synaptic. My choice. But I can see a day when synaptic will not be installable on some distros. :(

I don't think the complaint is so much about some of the flavors of Ubuntu but the main Distro. I can empathize with the author on some points. But I too at times use Lubuntu and Kubuntu. they are good and you can de-snap them if you want. I had a real problem in kubuntu with Thunderbird and...

I found this Article (Rage) informative about Ubuntu's latest release. I was one of the early adopters of ubuntu back in the day. But have been disappointed by it for quite some time now. Mint which is based on Ubuntu is good, But I don't like the direction Ubuntu has been going in over the...

@Condobloke Though mint comes setup to use flatpacks I don't think the .iso contains any just the setup so you can install them. But I maybe wrong about that. Where as ubuntu ships with firefox , thunderbird and I believe a couple others.

Some of the download size is because there are a couple more snap packages involved. Thunderbird is now a snap. snaps take more space than .debs :(

Thanks for the heads up typo, Fixed :)

Ubuntu and Ubuntu 24.04 flavors are ready to download.

Hello @wm460, Welcome to the Linux.org forum. Enjoy the journey!

There was a request by some developers on Fedora to move to KDE as the default. It's only a preposal and has not been acted on yet so will be seen it if survives the process. I was testing Fedora 40 KDE 6 it's quite good. But still have some ruff edges I suspect they may have gotten fixed...

I've used tumbleweed and it is the best of rolling releases I've seen. Never liked Manjaro or arch but that is a personal choice. Bye the way @wizardfromoz has a setup with 80 or so distros installed at anyone time so Manjaro is only one of them. Cheers!

Hello @krondar, Welcome to the Linux.org forum, enjoy the journey! You've already gotten much good advise. So won't add any here. Nividia can be a pain for sure.

on Mint I trim everyday by follow this tip. On fedora you have to change the find the Line OnCalendar=weekly and change it to OnCalendar=daily Note: most distros are set up to do trim weekly , but that maybe too long a time between events as you can loose a lot of space in a week. so I...

you maybe able to use fedora XFCE - But Debian or LMDE would most likely be a better fit.

Windows 7 was the last windows I ran, I was dual booting with Linux by the time 7 arrived. But I used it for a bit. And then switched to 100% Linux never looked back. I run only one windows program under wine now and find I use it seldom now as other Linux programs have equaled it. I do distro...

Hi @noelw, I don't have experience with these but this list may be of help.

Thanks, fixed it.

Ubuntu 24.10 and Debian 13 will get Apt version 3.0 see here for changes.

Than being said I have seen brand new keyboards right out of the box have a sticky key. But Let us know if it continues to happen in the mean time enjoy the journey!
