Ubuntu 25.04 Trial

Show all headers | View raw

I saw that Ubuntu 25.04 was out and, even after all the badmouthing of
Ubuntu and Wayland, I decided to give it a try. I was actually surprised to
see that it's faster on my old Dell Optiplex 9020 micro (with its 5th
generation, low power, i5 CPU) than was Ubuntu 24.10 on this machine — even
with the Snaps.

I was also happy to see that when you open new Windows now, it defaults to
opening them in the middle. (Something I always had to set before — it
always took me a while to find the command.) I'm also happy to report that,
even though it's using Wayland, it now (or still?) supports Cntrol+Shift+U
command for Unicode — in the Terminal, in the JOE editor and in LibreOffice.
And I watched a couple TV shows (Bones) from Rokuchannel.com, without any
streaming issues or artifacts. This USB Live "install" defaulted to the
6.14.x kernel. I don't what kernel it would have used had I updated it.

I'm actually impressed. Even after all these years of not using Windows, I'm
always a little suprised when a new Linux version is faster and cleaner than
the previous version. The opposite experience of what I always had with
Windows.

(I also posted this on the Linux Mint newsgroup by accident. Meant to post 
it only here.)
