Mum Tries Out Ubuntu 24.10 (2024)

Diana may have just found her favourite Linux distro, Ubuntu 24.10! With a slightly modified version of the Gnome 47 Desktop Environment, Ubuntu seems to nail it when it comes to providing a logical and easy to navigate UI while offering a noob-friendly Linux experience where using the terminal is an option :)

Hey guys, hope you enjoy this video! Sadly I've fallen ill (this video was filmed, edited and uploaded and scheduled prior to me being sick) so there may sadly be a delay before the next video comes out.

This video reminds me of Abunchu moment hahaha, good to see Diana think of Ubuntu years after she first tried it... Jeez, that's an old time, wasn't it?

Nice job on a new video. It’s nice to see new trying out operating systems videos after a while.

Swedish translator of the App Center here ;) seems i managed to ninja in myself in your video :P and thanks for a new Ubuntu review

I loved watching your videos years ago! I’m glad to see you and Diana are still at it. Take care! 😊

Hey! It's been so long, I'm glad to find y'all's channel again. Enjoyed the video! :)

Ubuntu really has gotten as user-friendly as it can get, great and informative video!

now this is nostalgic, finally a blast from the past, cant wait to watch!!

The frequency of these new uploads makes me so happy! I’ve been bingeing them lol

I think Diana would enjoy trying Zorin OS. It's also using Gnome, and has many different options allowing for a ChromeOS, MacOS or Windows feel of the UI. It has Wine integrated for Windows programs and it's own Phone Link kinda thing.

As for the taskbar on windows 11, get explorerpatcher to bring back the old taskbar, and you can move it to the side again.

Yay! I was scared to click on the video expecting you to say "Abanchu" 😂

I remember when Diana destroyed ubuntu 15.04, good times.

Hey Phil! Get better soon! We, OSFT fans, will patiently wait until you heal. :)

Also, what do you think of making a video of Diana customizing Ubuntu using GNOME extensions? I think it would be pretty interesting.

I realize that Diana enjoys testing out operating systems, too, but I think it was different when the channel initially started out. Now she's having much less trouble doing the traditional tasks. I think it would be good if she still tried operating systems but did more interesting stuff with them. It's not like she's too tech-savvy to effortlessly do more complex tasks, so it'll definitely be interesting to watch.

Also, out of curiosity, have you decided if you wanted Diana to check out Essence? Remember, that operating system with a tab-oriented window manager?

hope everything is going well, glad to see you're still at it!

Ive used ubuntu for a server and put the dock on the bottom making it similar to the windows taskbar, just floating. Keep up the good work phill

Ubuntu is for everyone, noobs and advanced users alike. I reality think the whole noob distri vs advanced distro is silly. Other than that, great video 😊.
