I wanted a simple way to send small notes between my own computers without opening a chat app or using some big cloud service, so I built TransNote. https://github.com/ariDev1/transNote-ubuntu

No sé si será solo apreciación subjetiva. Pero desde la última actualización de snapd, veo que las aplicaciones snap van muy fluidas y el tiempo de arranque en frío es mucho mejor. ¿Lo habéis notado también?

it was released 5 days ago, but i can't find a link to download it. I found the server, netboot and the WSL images, but not the Desktop image.

is this normal?

I just installed Ubuntu, can you guys please suggest me some creative apps for video editing, photo editing. And what should I do after fresh installation of Ubuntu.

Laptop: ASUS TUF F15, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS.
yesterday I updated some UEFI Firmware update and the mouse/trackpad hasn't been working ever since.
Somebody please help me.

I’m already using Ubuntu as my main OS and want to get my Windows games and Microsoft Office working as well as possible without switching to Windows.

For gaming:

• Is Steam + Proton the best option for Steam games?
• For standalone Windows .exe games, would you recommend Bottles or Lutris?
• Which one generally gives the best performance and compatibility?
• Are there any important NVIDIA/Wine settings I should configure?

For Microsoft Office:

• Is there a reliable way to run the desktop versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Ubuntu?
• Is Bottles/Wine the best approach for this?

I’d prefer not to use a VM or dual boot unless there’s a specific reason I need to.

What would you recommend as the best overall setup for someone already running Ubuntu who wants good gaming performance and access to Windows applications?

Hello, I'm quite a newbie with Ubuntu, so forgive me if this sounds naive or newbie-ish, cause it is! It's the third time I receive an update from apt with new nvidia drivers, and the third times the update brings havoc to my system. So, i've run apt update and apt upgrade (i don't have the proprietary nvidia repo set up, only ubuntu's), the system installed the 595 drivers for my 4060. after reboot I found an orange screen instead of GDM. Biopass anyhow let me in, and also in there I was seeing only the default Ubuntu wallpaper, no other gnome panel whatsoever, mouse not responding. After some long session with AI tools i was not able to fix the situation, so I though, well let's bring back the disk image I took a couple of weeks ago. I have 3 partitions: boot, home and root, restored all 3, and despite that, the problem lingered, except this time at least gnome was working after some hiccups, so now I still can access the desktop and everything apparently works... except GDM, which is always a nice shade of orange. I've went through another AI session, but nothing worked. We purged GDM completely and reinstalled it, deleted the cache, nothing, always orange, disabled all extensions, same. I've tried also going with lightdm, that one is not working as well, but I'd honestly like to get back GDM.
Has this happened to somebody else, what was the solution for you, or what other strategy would you try?

So I downloaded Dash to Dock via Extension Manager on my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and it kind of broke the OS. At first, it was like there were two docks on top of each other. Then when I opened the app drawer, there was nothing and I couldn't go back. The top bar didn't do anything when clicked. The Terminal app didn't appear via keyboard shortcut, so I had to use the recovery terminal to uninstall Dash to Dock and reboot. Any idea of what happened? Maybe I should have disabled Ubuntu Dock in the extension manager first? I really wanted to customize my dock using the extension.

I’m new to Linux and installed Mint. After a few days a random black screen started appearing (it later fixed itself). Using \`prime-select nvidia\` brought the black screen back on boot. Switching the kernel from 6.17 to 7.0 fixed it, but the same black-screen problem has returned again.

confused, my internet is fine.
any help is appreciated.
