From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu 26.02 working like it’s too new (lemmy.world)

hi,

sorry for my ignorance, I am new in the adventure of Linux. But is it smart to wait a couple of weeks before installing brand new Linux/Ubuntu releases? I was on Ubuntu 24 but 26.02 is like a trainwreck. Missing Nvidia drivers, Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN. Everything that worked on 24 is not working on 26.02. A but disapointing honestly.

I am on a 2018 PC, but it’s not that old.

My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(

Definitely worth waiting a few weeks and letting the post release patches roll through. I tend to start looking at it for my server upgrade about a month after its officially released, anything earlier is usually under heavy updates. IIRC do-release-upgrade on the server releases typically doesn't even allow upgrades for at least a month.
