2:10 Flutter is built by Google, not Gnome :)

I've always liked the way Ubuntu does Gnome.

Been using Ubuntu since 2017.

The Ubuntu wallpapers are community contributions

[ArniesTech]

It truly does look amazing. And the colour scheme somehow reminds me of the older days of Ubuntu 💪😁❤️

If you don't know, Flutter is developed by Google, not GNOME

After experimenting with various distros, from Pop_OS to Manjaro, EndeavourOS, and others, I end up coming back to Ubunto and settling with it. It has great compatibility and stability and has been a great daily driver for my main machine.

For anybody interested, I moved from 22.04 LTS because I wanted more powerful Gaming options and overclocking in 22.04 was impossible for me. I waited a few weeks until bugs or issues had stack exchange answers and did a fresh install. Very glad I did, games are faster, the OS / desktop it's self is more responsive, it looks and feels nicer and just seems faster at everything. It's not perfect and you will almost certainly run into the odd issue but none of them are deal breaking. I was able to immediately use Nvidia X screen settings to add GPU-clock and memory offsets which was just not possible from the LTS.

Good vid! I read Snaps are getting faster and that the Firefox Snap now starts super fast and in some cases even faster than a native install?

That said, I like the direction Ubuntu is heading. Another thing that most ppl don't cover is how Ubuntu ships with a lot of premium features ootb, such as their own vsynced triple buffering patches, which makes Ubuntu a buttery smooth 60+ fps experience even on low-end devices (like on MacOS, Android and iOS). Ubuntu going the extra mile again, and I like it. Without this work, we would still be having a stuttery, low fps and sluggish triple A Gnome desktop in the year 2040 whereas even the smallest hand sized mobile devices were able to address this topic eons ago. So for what's it's worth, well done, Ubuntu.

looks like I'm going to have to update my Ubuntu flash drive. Excellent work, DT!

I upgraded yesterday and I've got Sway and Wayfire installed and they both run lovely!

[otter-pro]

I will definitely try the new version of Ubuntu. Having nice wallpaper is the least of my concern. But it is a good indication that the ubuntu /canonical cares about the desktop and is putting effort into making it look good. Overall, I just want my system to run well, be stable, and run as fast as possible without the bloat and heaviness.

You are one of the few truly FAIR distro reviewers at YT. Thanks for a good look at this new version of Ubuntu.

[Bunstonious]

I'm happy to see Ubuntu releases look good, I have used it on and off for 18ish years so it's good to see them still putting out a quality product.

Personally I haven't used it in the last few years due to the Fedora releases being so good, and i'm disappointed on their seeming war on flatpak (yes it's hyperbolic I know) but it's good to know that their newer releases don't have any major performance issue and the polish is good.

Thanks DT for the video. I installed the other day it has been published and I am amazed how it looks like and how it works smooth on my old laptop from 2009, which is 6gb RAM, i5.

Ubuntu is getting better and better, love it!

03:00 Can't change the wallpaper on gnome-tweaks 😞
05:12 Screenshot menu appears after <Print> key is pressed.
06:27 sudo snap refresh firefox makes it 112.0.1
08:30 You have to:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
in order to install all the programs you've formerly known.

Looks really polished.
I am a Kubuntu user since I like the Windows style of things (the task manager, the file manager, the file dialog box, the print dialog box, the start menu).
I wish some companies switched to a Linux desktop, any desktop. I know one where they can get a PC with Ubuntu but I think it is for special cases. Most of the company uses Win 10. Some use that Linux on Windows thing (WSL).

Fantastic review! Now I'm considering going back to Ubuntu!
