Generally a good idea to wait for the .1 release if you can for bugs to be ironed out. Another option to consider is running Ubuntu in a distrobox for the sw that needs it and then run whatever distro you like.

Might not be a popular opinion these days but I am really glad there exists a distro like Ubuntu that provides a curated experience that just works out of the box.

  • Hardware manufacturers and software developers formally test and certify it. For example, the new Framework 13 pro can be shipped with Ubuntu preinstalled as well as Lenovo Thinkpads, Dell, etc which all ship or formally support Ubuntu. Steam still only officially supports Ubuntu outside of Steam OS IIRC.

  • The Ubuntu kernel will often have vendor patches and back ports before they are up streamed. OS components might also see improvements earlier (e.g. gnome triple buffering backport before it was even available in gnome stable).

  • It is the defacto for AI, data science and other non-swe communities and increasingly popular server and cloud option.

  • Snap gets a lot of hate but it has technical capabilities that flatpak doesn't (CLI programs, even being able to handle kernels, etc). The prepackaged rocm and cuda snaps and models is a great example of something other distros can't easily do.

  • They give free enterprise level features like live patching and security centre for individuals.

  • The UX is comfortable for both windows and Mac users with their prepackaged and maintained gnome extensions that make gnome usable and familiar.

  • It provides a flexible upgrade pattern with LTS with or without HWE and 6 month cadence.

For people that just want to get to work Ubuntu still is one of the best options. Looking forward to this release!

Good eye, it is indeed Hafiz Mustafa!

Would definitely recommend it, we tried a few different spots including Karaköy Güllüoğlu and Hafiz Mustafa was our favourite. Note this is from 2019 so am not sure if things have changed.

PPD comes default on most distros (I can at least confirm for Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora on the GNOME variant). I am not sure about KDE variants but they should support it too even if it's not pre-installed.

You can check if it's running with the following command:

$ powerprofilesctl

However as the 0.20 release which supports p-state just released recently most fixed point release distros won't have the newer version. In this case you would need to update it manually.

I am running Debian testing and it has the new version while stable does not.

Also want to appreciate the idle efficiency improvements! My AMD laptop only loses a few % of battery life after idling overnight (with the default s2idle sleep mode). A huge improvement to my older work Intel ThinkPad which loses over 25% overnight...

For many people living in poverty, Eid Al Adha is the only time of the year they get to have fresh meat.

The meat is portioned into three parts: one for yourself and your immediate family, one for non-immediate family and friends and one for those living in poverty. Excess meat is frozen or dried to prolong use.

Many charities also accept donations of animal hides to generate money.

It serves an important economic function in many countries by funneling resources from the rich and urban areas to rural and poorer areas.
