Thinking about switching to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS? Here are five reasons to do so and three reasons not to:

5 Reasons to Upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 (and 3 Reasons to Stay Away)

Should you skip this new release or jump on the bandwagon and upgrade to 26.04? Let me help you with that.

@itsfoss Yeah... the Rustification is enough to say I'll pass.

@itsfoss I will probably try it in a VM. However, I will wait until Mint incorporates it into their next LTS release before I do anything with it as daily use (and even then, I will test in a VM first to make sure it works well for my needs on my hardware).

I don't like the Gnome desktop and have not had good experiences with Ubuntu main since I tried 12.04 and 14.04 (I skipped 16.04, and 18.04 also did not work for me). Kubuntu is my back-up OS so I may upgrade that to 26.04

@itsfoss Or migrate to a new distro. I just moved to to MXlinux 25 with KDE from Kubuntu on my desktop after testing MXlinux 23 with XFCE on my laptop. I'm not happy with the direction the *buntus are going with systemd and snaps. I also may be a bit biased as a former Mepis User. Otherwise, I've enjoyed my time on Kubuntu. Choice is the main point of linux. Use whatever you want or roll your own if you're motivated. But we all know good programmers are lazy.
