This is very helpful, that's why I subscribed to your channel

[mr.Creative]

Very helpful thanks. I installed Ubuntu 24 on an old intel macbook which was so sluggish I was unable to use it, now it is flying super happy with Ubuntu.

My laptop's hdmi wasnt working properly (showing my workspace on 50% of the screen and the other 50% was a solid white block) and I have a GeForce RTX 2050. So, I selected the nvidia (proprietary, tested) driver and this problem was solved! Thanks a lot!

[SunilSamson]

there are some bugs in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I advise all of to wait. Meanwhile you can try 22.04.3 it's pretty stable.

I replaced snap store with gnome software center with snap and flatpak plugin. So now I can install snaps, debs and flatpaks from the same gui.

For some reason Ubuntu is very slow on my laptop while Windows is buttery smooth. Also, I am tired of one day booting to find out that 'files' is no longer responding forever and another reinstall is required. In Linux world, there are no fixes to issues, just work arounds

[errolcollins]

I have just installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but the app store is not working, as soon as you open the app store it closes, I have watched a few videos on you tube on how to remedy the problem but they all failed, I did initially upgrade but that was a disaster and the programs kept freezing so i did a fresh install, now the app store does not work, any ideas on how to fix the problem?

[vijayakumarannair]

Why not give an icon for sudo and fill in /choose options?

[Fayaz-Rehman]

Thank you - would appreciate to know the "You MUST DO" for an Ubuntu server (minimal).

[gavinskink]

Thks. I used blender on my Ubuntu 24.04 but my rx 7800xt doesn't works with cycles (hip). When i tried to install rocm, hip there are issues. Could you see and make a video about that?

[EijiShenLink]

Wow, you're amazing! You even solved my problems about amd64 where my graphic card is not supported anymore so I had damaged packages and I couldn't install any program by terminal. All started when I've tried installing directly version 24.04 but with no success, so after installed 22 I've updated to 24 but there demaged packs came through.
Now it's all fixed and all works properly with my actual Ubuntu 24.04, and I can install what I want! Thank you!

[lack_Rose]

why are you using apt to install packages that can be gotten from the application store? isn't it easier to manage your apps when the majority are all in one place rather than having some in apt which you have to manually update and other in the app store that auto check for updates

[diliprajdasari]

That was really helpful. Thank you.

I do not see software & update application on my Ubuntu 24LTS. Could you please help me with this?

[marinlos]

From what I heard you can already install .deb apps from the snap store, so there's no need to use the terminal

It’s 2024. What exactly does Chrome browser offer that is unique besides being a resource hog?

[dankierson]

About *DNS*

1. Ubuntu 24.04 is supposed to ship with Unbound recursive & caching resolver.

2. Most regard *quad9* as a nore secure DNS resolver than Google or Cloudflare. It is DNSSEC verifying.

[aditya-d-]
