After a couple days dual booting to Ubuntu LTS, I didn’t get along with gnome so went with one of the flavours instead, Ubuntu Cinnamon LTS. 2 months later have got along fine with this. Escaped the need to distro hop by using gnome boxes and have found everything relatively simple for my fairly basic use case (browsing, YouTube, occasional gaming). Had a fiddle setting up reclone to automatically backup documents (before realising Deja dup was a thing…). Had no stability issues so far and enjoy the customisation available in cinnamon (KDE is a little OTT). Would recommend for any Linux newbie. Was this review helpful?

This new Ubuntu Cinnamon installed easily and is working as-advertised with no glitches. If MS Windows 11 does go ahead and includes their evil Recall “feature” in the next release I suspect there will be a stampede to Ubuntu and Linux Mint— as there should be. Unless they have to for work, I can't understand why anyone is still using any Windows OS bloatware/spyware/adware. My main OS is Mac OS, but I love the Linux OS, too. Was this review helpful?

And Mint just runs flawlessly. I use Mint to run my TOR relay. Mint just runs and runs and runs. No so, UC. First and right after the initial install I ran into a blueman error or blue tooth. That was a input/output error which was constant. Worse in the two days I ran UC I saw a bunch of those I/O errors for different things. Those errors were here and there, just smail, annoying things. I had to install Timeshift too. Why? That shouild have been included with the install. On the second day I let UC, which I had UC completely setup, run quietly over lunch. An hour and a half later I came back and it was locked put tight. Everything I tried gave that input/output error. I tried to open a terminal, nope. Another I/O error. Yup, I had to boot it...again. One thing I didn't like was that warm, medium brown color scheme that Ubuntu seems to love. Not me. Ick! Nemo gave me trouble too. I wanted to set it 'my way' to which Nemo said no way. That was a reboot to fix when it shouldn't have been. Lastly, I gave it a 7. UC is one of those you slip back in the oven because it is not quite done. I score it half baked. Was this review helpful?
