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.

Ubuntu 26.02 working like it’s too new (lemmy.world)

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 :’(

Thank you for all the replies! I will bunker in and wait it out. For the nvidia problems, it’s Steam recommending me drivers which were pre installed on Ubuntu 24, but on 26.02 the were nuked :( I still want to be social and play some games with my friends

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550-open

Gives all all these errors with dependencies.

Proton VPN I installed from official command lines from their website:

sudo apt install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

`Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:

python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=5.0.1 is selected for install because:
1. proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 is selected for install
2. proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 Depends python3-proton-vpn-api-core (>= 4.14.0) [selected proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1] For context, additional choices that could not be installed:
- In proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 Depends python3-proton-vpn-api-core (>= 4.14.0):
  - python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.19.1 is not selected for install
  - python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.18.0 is not selected for install
  - python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.17.2 is not selected for install

  - python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.14.3 is not selected for install
  - python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.14.1 is not selected for install`

ok back to Ubuntu 24 it is :)
