great demo thank you, I am using ubuntu 22.04 tls, but there are 2 major things stop me from changing :
1- ububtu setup does not create data partirion by default to keep my data separate from OS which means every upgrade could move into severeuser data loss
2- printers on linux is the toughest issue now .. everytime I advise nyone to use linux, he/she comes back with big fireback because linux does not recognize his printer (usb/network) or at leaset uses very smal funtionality subset of printer advanced features (i.e print only)

Why it's not on the repository? I check for updates every time but there is still no updates for 23.04 version

How did you fix your laptop to boot Ubuntu in UFI? Did you make a video on how you did this?

[PKM]

This is why I recommend Ubuntu as a starting point, it's not the most state of the art distro, but it has just been so stable for me, and instability is what might drive users away and create this idea of Linux being complicated.

I know someone might have a different experience, I went back to Ubuntu around 2-3 years ago, before that it wasn't so stable either, I'm still on the same installation now after switching graphics, CPU, Ram and such, while I somehow broke PopOS after 6 months or so. I've had this experience on multiple different devices, hence the assumption. I'm sure other distros have advanced a lot too!

Nice one with the "Activate minimize on the dock click" Love the change. Simply ran the command: gsettings set click-action 'minimize'

Ubuntu Budgie 23.04 is really good. It's on my HP laptop. However, LMDE5 Cinnamon is the winner this season. It's on the HP desktop and on my 2017 iMac too. Mint Debian is terrific.

Not sure what is negative about 22.04? it's the most stable Linux I have ever used, sure it may not be full of zoomer buzzwords but it will play Ashes 2063 all day and all night baby.

Still can not put a solid black wallpaper ? Only pictures backgrounds ?

Screen recording in this version of ubuntu still no cursor on my device

[TheEricDangerous]

and this is without counting the release of bookworm in August, Debian & Ubuntu will reshuffle the cards in 2023, and for the benefit of users.

[treyquattro]

it looks good. I'm gonna install it - currently have 22.10 and 22.04 on a few machines. I really don't like Snaps however and that turns me against Ubuntu in preference of Fedora, and my long-term Linux squeeze, Debian (Debian 12 is great!).

Keep up the great work and here's hoping that 500 more Linux users come along and you get the silver YouTube button!

Kindly make one video on how to enable wifi in ubuntu distro

I am having a bug in my Ubuntu 23.04 installation since I installed Anydesk remote desktop. I cannot open more than 4 tabs in any browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.), and the minimize and maximize buttons do not work in any browser.

Can anyone tell me how to set password on a directory both by using 3rd party software or any other method implemented in Ubuntu?

Strange. Clipboard works as intended here... no need of install anything. The data copied remains after the source app its closed, windoze style.
On 22.04.3 I have to install Gpaste (sudo apt install gpaste openssl) in order to get a simple & lightweight copy-paste, but in 23.04 this works out the box.

I wonder if there is a fix for no sound on HDMI on this version.

[johanb.]

Upgraded my Kubuntu 22.10 yesterday and it's running great so far. Firefox I always use the tarball. Same for Thunderbird. I purged the Fx snap after I installed 22.10.

The 'Not possible to fix' issue is just a not so cool part of Ubuntu from long. But hurray, I guess the developers ARE watching your videos and taking actions. You are my go to person for linux updates.
