So I guess it's semi-offical now https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-22-04-lts-released/ I'm still taking the conservative response and wait for 20.04 LTS to be upgraded.

Just be aware, LTS upgrade notifications are not usually turned on for some time (July-ish?). Sometimes for a long time.Originally posted by Fred47 View Post

Normally I EOL (it's a verb, now) LTS releases and 20.04 was a stellar one with just 1 bug and 1 annoyance for me. 22.04 fixed the bug so I jumped early this time. As always, many thanks to the team.Comment

So far I have no real problems with Kubuntu and I intend to keep it that way.Comment

Just threw it on a USB stick and tried it on my old ThinkPad. It looks and performs great. Looks like Linux Mint will be replaced!Constant change is here to stay!Comment

That was short lived. Too much Snap stuff on it, including Firefox. Back to Mint....Constant change is here to stay!Comment

I assume you know you can just remove snap and all it's junk - happens in just a couple seconds. That's a Canonical decision and not Kubuntu devs, but one would think they could remove snap in their releases. Probably some "legal" reason why they can't.Originally posted by Beerislife View PostComment

After removing all Snap crud I couldn't install the dependencies for Chrome. I need to spend more time on this...Constant change is here to stay!Comment

That seems odd. I don't have snap-anything installed yet Chrome is up to date.Originally posted by Beerislife View PostComment

He doesn't tell us how/where he got Chrome. Statements without context bug me.

I'm going to be installing Ubuntu Studio now they are using KDE as their desktop. At the moment I used their addon on top of Kubuntu but the actual distro has been upgraded. First task on install, removing snap
Although I need to compile some sort of list before I uninstall of configs and customising.

Great release so far so good. Working well here I did a new Install instead of upgrading. Everything working fine.
only glitch is I use Vivaldi and as in the Daily builds and Beta QApt finds it's missing a dependency and won't install it but I just manually installed with dpkg and it's working fine also.
Not sure what dependency QApt thinks is missing. Other than that everything is working.Dave Kubuntu 20.04 Registered Linux User #462608

LOL, me too.Originally posted by Snowhog View PostHe doesn't tell us how/where he got Chrome. Statements without context bug me.
This worked perfectly here on a new 22.04 install:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...rent_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install google-chrome-stable
No additional dependencies required.

Cool. Glad to see this distro is still moving forward and offering Plasma desktop. IIRC a few years back it rather languished.Originally posted by Bings View PostI'm going to be installing Ubuntu Studio now they are using KDE as their desktop.
