hi,

sorry for my ignorance, I am new in the adventure of Linux. But is it smart to wait a couple of weeks before installing brand new Linux/Ubuntu releases? I was on Ubuntu 24 but 26.02 is like a trainwreck. Missing Nvidia drivers, Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN. Everything that worked on 24 is not working on 26.02. A but disapointing honestly.

I am on a 2018 PC, but it’s not that old.

My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(

Hey, thanks for the reply!

When I start up steam, it says I am missing that specific Nvidia driver with commands to install it. So Maybe Canonical needs to release a new steam client as well?

On the Ubuntu discourse I saw other people had the similiar problem but with newer drivers

Thank you so much.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
