I like Kubuntu but the packages are delayed every 6 months considering it’s dated and delayed fixes for bug, system enhancements, optimizations etc. Ideal choices of distros would be Tumbleweed, latest Fedora or Manjaro considering the don’t delay as much as Ubuntu does
In this one I said tumblweed is the one to go with, or if you want it for grandma/wife that won't be happy if it fails kubuntu would be a good choice. I'm still sticking with tumblweed even though it has disappointed me several times lately. I am currently hunting a better choice, just haven't found one yet.
@@plutorocks1 That video will be hitting either this evening or tomorrow. Lets just say i have installed fedora on my laptop cause tumbleweed won't work on it. And, well, for the record, kubuntu 24.10 didn't either LOL
Ran Fedora 40 with KDE 6 for a few weeks and KDE 6 is lovely. It’s truly the best thing to have happened in Linux desktop space in decades honestly. More distros should default to it. Sadly I couldn’t keep using Fedora because it doesn’t meet my needs packaging wise, I need something debian based, so I am waiting for Kubuntu 24.10.
I think it’s entirely likely there will be a Warty brown theme both in the installer and optionally on the desktop seeing as its release coincides with the 20th anniversary of Ubuntu and Warty 4.10.
The 'Ubuntu' colour issue is a bug in mesa 24.2.2 when running on X11 with no acceleration (llvmpipe). Which is why you saw it in qemu on the live X11 session.

@@LowTechLinux Exactly why I still use Windows.
I can't believe Linux still can't figure it out after all these years.
You're not wrong. And I have a history of saying use whatever works for you, even if that's windows or mac.
@@LowTechLinux What are your disappoints with Tumbleweed if I may?

That's a good point but it would be weird if the derivatives did the same.
@@LowTechLinux Fair point. Even though it’s the grand daddy of official flavors it has nonetheless been blue since its first release.
thanks for the time and effort

Excellent. Thank you for the info.
Thanks a lot for this helpful review. Because of Snaps many have been put off. Kubuntu does look really promising though.
Kubuntu supports flatpaks better than Ubuntu if you don't like snaps.
Starting from driver 555 NVIDIA works well on Wayland.
excellent news
Were btrfs snapshots configured?
I'm not sure yet. Installed it on my laptop last night and will be working with it today
