    Another reviewer said this release of Ubuntu was boring. He acted like that was a bad thing. But boring is GOOD. As you said in the video, there is no use changing things just for the sake of changing them. If software changes all of the time, people have to devote time to relearning the software rather than the task they wanted to use the software for in the first place. If I want to type a letter, I want to do it and be done -- not learn a new word processor interface BEFORE I can type the letter. So I think Ubuntu has taken the wise course by being "boring." Though the lack of Solitaire on initial installation is something they need to reconsider...

      Yes, I really dislike having to Google how to do things in Windows 11 vs 10. Really annoying for no real purpose. Add the fact Microsoft keeps coming up with more things to turn off to stop them collecting as much or more data than Google! Seems Microsoft updates is also very helpful in turning telemetry back on and not telling you. Very annoying indeed. New isn't always better, especially when you work in IT and have a dozen operating systems to deal with, you waste a lot of time figuring out where they hid things with each release.

      @@john_in_phoenix Of course, there are plenty of Linux commentators who are all for "new." "Oh, there's this stylish new user interface!!!! Isn't it wonderful?" I want to ask them, "Does it do anything better than the old UI?" Of course, 99 times out of a hundred, it does not. It adds no functionality, but someone thought it looked "pretty" or "exciting." To hell with that! I'm all for improved functionality. But if the change doesn't improve the function of the software, then they should make it optional if they include it at all.

      @hoagy_ytfc it really is, for me at least! 😄
      I tried Linux on my desktop a few years and it wasn't great. Didn't get a lot of stuff working, help resources/documentation online were often incomplete, incompatible or difficult to follow and the next time I booted it, half of what did work, broke.
      This year, Migrainesoft decided to shove a full screen ad for Windows 11 into Windows 10 user's face that also tells them they'd need to upgrade their hardware, when all they did need to do in most cases desktop users would just need to enable their TPM and safe booting (which is disabled by default on desktop mainboards), but why give accurate advice when you can -create unnecessary e-waste- "stimulate the economy" instead? 🙄
      That motivated me to try Linux again and right out of the gate everything ran just as good or better than on Linux, whatever didn't work or I didn't understand had well explained tutorials solving my problem just one google search prompt away and I haven't looked back so far (it's only been a week, but I'm already feeling very familiar and settled with the new OS).
      The only thing that's keeping me from formatting my Windows 10 drive right now is a DAW called Studio One. If I can install Wayland so I can use its Linux Beta, then I will never need to boot into a Windows install ever again.
      Else I'll have to switch DAW which would mean needing to keep a Windows install in case I need to export something from an old project into a format that Ardour or Reaper can work with... 🤔

      Thanks for your support -- I agree about the developers with good eyes who work on big screens. I remember that in TV studios, even in the most modern galleries with large colour monitors, there was always a 14 inch, 405 line black and white monitor hooked up too. And care was always taken to ensure that the output from the studio was watchable on this screen. Sadly the days of developers (and many content creators) thinking about accessibility, and now things will appear on the worst delivery hardware, are long gone. But this is not a positive change.

I mean I’m 30 years old and still have okay-ish vision. But I’m also not a youngster anymore. I think the new font looks fresh and modern. And when it becomes hard to read for me some day - it probably won’t be the font’s fault. Let’s say it like that. :)

    Completely agree with your positive comment on this LTS release. I was really impressed that the Canonical team managed to get day one support for Raspberry Pi 5. Searching around in forums seemed to suggest it might not be supported for a while yet. I took a peek at the RPi installer and lo and behold it was listed as an option for Pi 5. I quickly installed the Server version to my SSD - in the beautiful Argon 5 Neo Nvme case (!). It booted first time. The only gripes are that it shows a low power warning (unlike 23.10), but boots fine, and (more troubling) when I enabled Gen3 PCIE speeds (also fine on 23.10), it could not connect to any network. I am sure these will get ironed out and it is nothing to stop using 24.04. I would love to use Fedora 40 on my Pi but even with a more convoluted install process, it just seems to fail to boot, and I don’t see any news in the Fedora community on when Pi 5 might be officially supported.

    Greetings Noble Sir! Ubuntu has come a long, long way since the first version I used, Dapper Drake. I love the new installer. A welcome change indeed. I am due for the upgrade so I will probably get it done later today. My only critques are...NO GAMES???? What were they thinking? 😁 I have never been a fan of the Ubuntu default font and change it as a first setup step so making it worse and spindly is not an issue for me. My other critique is that I have never been a fan of GuhNome3 so I tend to use a different flavour i.e. Kubuntu or Mate. As always, thank you for producing these quality videos and stay well and happy my friend!

    Timely video as this new LTS is now out and I was curious on what the new Gnome might look like.
    It's going to be August before a prompt will appear on our Ubuntu update process allowing us to adopt the new LTS without need for external media images.
    I am tempted to jump the gun . . .
    But it's safer to wait till it comes via auto updates later on as I can't afford more trouble from any direction now

      @@tbw666 Great question, and welcome to Linux! We all have our quirks and qualities which help us choose a distro. For me, Ubuntu's desktop was unfamiliar, even back in 2006 when I used it for only 2 weeks! I'm glad I found Mint, and was comfortable with Mint's desktop and UI choices. Mint followed the conventional layout - taskbar on bottom, window controls in top right corner, etc. I have more of a Mac setup now, using Plank for an application dock on the bottom and panel at the top. But I MADE those choices. Over the years, Ubuntu would make sweeping changes to the desktop and UI which forced users to follow. This reminded me too much of Microsoft's behavior! So that's my story... hope you find your comfortable distro!

      I'm personally finding Zorin very nice. No crashes. I'm on an early i3-2100 with 8GB of RAM. Not Win-11 compatible so I'm dual-booting with my original Win-10 while I get to grips with it. See Explaining Computers' video about dual booting without a GRUB menu. You'll need another SSD or Mdot2 in the machine.

It takes me very few minutes to not only get started in Windows, but cleaning it up and installing all my programs.

    It's really amazing to see how many people are saying there's leaving Windows for Linux and what not. I honestly wouldn't have switched over if things didn't take the turn they did on Windows 8 and 11. Windows 8 got me started looking around and when Windows 11 showed the Microsoft Account requirement I went full tilt in switching to Linux since Windows 11's release day. I honestly keep looking back to see if Windows is getting better and when i see what you have to do to have a local account and all the AI, telemetry, and ads being stuffed in there it's like realizing your pet you had for years is dead and not coming back. Oh well.

    • @DarkFrostX5

      Not discounting the fact they are people leaving windows, the problem with being part of niche communities however is that you tend to live a bubble.
      Linux as much as I love it will NEVER reach to the same level of utilization as windows on people's personal computers.
      Companies are out for profit, the best software out there will always be developed with money in mind.
      Open source project(s) like Linux & it's nauseating amount of distros will always lag behind because of this very simple fact.
