Possibly the worst Linux distro I have ever tried. - Installer hasn't been updated, so you have to disable secure boot to install it. - Tried to install twice. Both times the system would not give a login prompt in the GUI. I had to use alt-F6 to get a terminal login prompt and manually use dpkg after the first boot to finish the installation. - Once fully patched, it puts my left monitor to sleep after boot. Unfortunately, that is the monitor where it puts the login prompt. I have to turn the monitor off and back on to get a screen to login. Right monitor is fine. - Password login will not work if you have a Yubikey inserted. - Firefox will not start. It says Firefox is already running, which it is not. I verified this using the ps command. Fully uninstalled and purged Firefox and reinstalled. It still says it is already running. - It randomly says my keyboard and UPS are disconnected. They are not. None of these issues occur if I install Ubuntu, nor do they occur with the trash that calls itself Windows 11. So I know it is not my hardware.

This is one of the best Linux distros I have used, and I've used a LOT (30+) identifying the good from the bad. Ubuntu Pack has an efficient and well thought out installer offering to download updates and media CODECs during install which certainly gives a smooth seamless experience. The performance on my laptop at least (6006u, HD520, 8GB RAM & SSD) is extremely good particularly with the 6.18rc2 kernel. It would be nice to see just a couple extra features though, taking a leaf from PikaOS. Having an option to easily and quickly update drivers such as GPU, wifi, bluetooth, etc. The PikaOS Device Manager is a game-changer for Linux users, gamers or otherwise, and for people such as "Windows refugees". I'd also like to see a few more useful pieces of software installed as standard with the distro; the Opera browser, Haruna and Handbrake video transcoder. I very strongly recommend giving this distro a go, far, FAR better than Manjaro.

this is a build of ubuntu that anyone can use, its the no fuss way to enjoy all that ubuntu has to offer, with many different desktops to pick from, no wonder people stop distrohopping after finding this one, for the visually impaired, I recommend the mate spin, plus, you can upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu if you do so wish at any time, if you want a distribution with a fare number of repositories configured out of the box, go for this one, its more than enough to get you up and running, and if you have a very bad internet connection, looking at you, bt braudband, you can purchase the distribution on a USB stick, and even better, with ubuntu pro, you can get 10 years of support all together, that's 5 years of standard lts support, plus an additional 5 years from canonical
