Dr. Sarah Pohl<p>I did it! Today I switched from <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> 10 to <a href="https://norden.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubuntu</span></a> on my Surface Pro and it mostly works. I still have to work out a few kinks, but I'm really happy.<br>I also managed quite a feat at work and, thanks to a random internet person, learned that there's something called PMDD.<br>Overall, it was a pretty successful day.</p>

Radgryd<p>I haven't run into issues while installing software I usually use at home every day. Discord, Telegram, Signal, Tuta, Firefox, VLC work without issue. I even installed Spotify because I was curious (I rarely use it on PC). </p><p>I need to remind myself to try out LibreWolf some more.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@Tuba" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Tuba</span></a></span> is a Fedi client that I've always wanted to try out because I felt it looked the best, I just couldn't use it since I was on Windows.

Radgryd<p>Just over a week has passed since I've started messing about with Ubuntu. So far, I've felt very little restrictions. </p><p>I also learned a few things. At the start, I had issues installing Ubuntu: It kept closing the installation window. I thought it might be my unstable internet, but it wasn't. Ended up being a quick fix that my wife looked up online: Picking safe graphics mode.</p><p>Then I looked for a way to install <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Tutanota</span></a></span> and learned what an 'AppImage' is, and how to install it. This is when I also realised there are several 'app stores' to choose from. I also found out that you have to set specific files to be 'executable' before you can use them.</p><p>The 'most complicated' situation I could solve with help of the internet was figuring out how to install the driver for my WiFi USB stick (because my built-in adapter is either broken or simply *sucks*). <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@ostechnix" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ostechnix</span></a></span> led me through the lines of commands and checks to make sure it was properly installed.

Chad McCullough :Debian:<p>In Ubuntu, again, Appimages are not launching. This time it's the 25.04 release and none of the fixes for previous releases are working. I've even checked AppArmor to ensure the Appimage in question isn't being blocked from running for some reason. Why does this issue continue in Ubuntu releases when so many have reported the issue? My son, just yesterday, got fed up with the issue and moved to openSUSE on his laptop and desktop. My neighbor, who I convinced to move to Linux just a year ago from Windows, is also looking to move to a different distribution or, sadly, even back to Windows. Is this simply Ubuntu making it difficult to run anything but Snaps? I'm sure this isn't the reason but I am sure that many are thinking this. There have been multiple users asking about this in the Ubuntu Discourse but the posts are being locked from zero activity. And please, I don't want to hear your thoughts on how bad Appimages are or something. Many people use them, myself included. I like them.<br><br>Ubuntu and Canonical, I love you, but you need to get it together.
