I use the menu search option (HUD) so often on my Mac (Help menu on the Mac has this feature and has had it basically forever). It's so useful for all sorts of programs. I can never remember where some menu items hide, and I don't have to. One keyboard shortcut takes me to the help menu, I start writing what I want to do, arrow down, enter boom it's done. Never even have to touch the mouse either.
I wish gaming had more availability and that drivers and certain software was supported on Linux because their distros are so good. And there's SOOO many options to choose from. It's just a damn shame that more companies don't develop for Linux because Windows wouldn't even be worth using anymore. There's such limited customization within Windows 10 without downloading really sketchy software to change it up. It just sucks. But as someone who uses a PC strictly for Gaming, it's just impossible to run it as the main distro.
Ive been watching your vids for a few years now, and have tried a number of distros, including Ubuntu on your recommendations. Although I haven't fully dropped windows, because of work, I have recently installed Ubuntu Budgie (20.04.2 LTS) on an old Packard Bell Laptop and it runs pretty well. But I have twice now powered up to desktop and the taskbar icons have disappeared, and I have had to google how to reset the task bar in terminal. Has this issue been fixed in this latest version or do I need to try a different flavour of Ubuntu
It depends on your hardware i guess. When i run ubuntu with Wayland everyting seems to be working fine , when i switch to xorg things start to crash and i dont know why to be honest.
I'm new to Linux hence why I probably don't understand the following. Why do they bother with these interim releases? Would it not be better just to focus on the LTS releases? Personally, I'm loving KDE Neon ;-)
@@blazingeek fair enough... I think I'm just thinking more about rolling releases. I have to say, the Ubuntu based distributions work far better for me.
Great video as always Quids, thank you!

Odd your Ubuntu Software (which is a snap application) is using the old Ubuntu (Radiance) theme and not the new Yaru theme.

Wayland is really laggy. TH-cam on Firefox starts looking like a powerpoint after a few hours. Going to look at getting back to X

why not also take a look at Fedora 34 with Gnome 40?

The interim releases give the developers a chance to implement and perfect new features or fix bugs identified in the previous release.
Newer hardware support (drivers), gaming, newer apps...

@@quidsup thanks 😊 and I'm a bit starstruck you replied to me. Thank you for your channel 🙏 all the best from Yorkshire
Ayyy face
Personally, I'd rather stick with LTS based distros, such as Kubuntu 20.04 :-)
