Gregory's Server@mcc Well this thread worries me as I was planning on Ubuntu of some sort or other when I give up on Win10.

 @mcc Thanks! I'll be switching a desktop and a laptop when the time comes. I'm going to hang on as long as possible. @Nonya_Bidniss @mcc i understand mcc’s motivation for not wanting to switch from a mostly-working ubuntu and risk breaking something different, but if you’re installing a fresh distro we strongly recomend against ubuntu these days. mint is probably a good replacement |
@Nonya_Bidniss For now, my recommendation is to use 22.04 and not 24.04, and use X not Wayland. If you wait another year 24.04/Wayland will possibly be ready for everyday use, it is not now.
Additionally, you will find some configuration differences can make your life easier:
- Use a desktop not a laptop
- If using a laptop, use one with "integral" DPI (ie 2x resolution or 1x resolution, not 1.5x as Lenovo seems to love)
Of course, you may not have control over this.
