It also looks like Fedora is able upgrade between major versions without a problem. This way, you never have libraries or software crashing in mid-air on your system during an update. The software are then installed at the next system boot. You'll get a collection of packages frozen for around half a year, and that's good for training your habits and setup a workflow that − you can trust − will work as intended when required.Īpplication updates are installed after reboot and, when updating, the software center (named 'Discover' on the KDE Spin) will only download the list of packages and prompt you for a restart later. You won't get the surprise of having software changing all the time. It's not a rolling GNU/Linux distribution. Especially when the GNU/Linux ecosystem has many other choices.

With 22.04, I felt Canonical wanted really to push Snap on me and I couldn't see any technical advantage to impose to myself this technology. Of course, all of that pre-existed 22.04 in a lighter form, and it was easier to dodge or uninstall it. To top it all off, a Snap directory was even hard-coded in my /home directory. Also, applications installed with the command line 'apt install' could come as Deb package, or as Snap package without knowing it ahead (and Snap version often comes with additional bugs). It has a slower Firefox packaged only as Snap. Unfortunately, I tested 22.04LTS and I disliked it. So, with that success in mind, I imagined it would be a no-brainer to continue with the newest Kubuntu to the date: 22.04LTS. My last guide was about Kubuntu 20.04LTS, and I used it during two years.

Why not continuing with Kubuntu 22.04LTS?

Control of my data and privacy (I don't want companies to influence my behavior threw targeted adv).

Transparency (open-source: you can investigate any parts).

Technology (performance, scripting, standards).

Independence (no one have a control on what I watch, what I use and how I use it).

My main big reasons to use a GNU/Linux open-source system evolved a bit from the origins, it is now split into four reasons: I'll explain here my main reasons for advising and recommending this GNU/Linux distro for a digital-painting workstation in 2022. I write this for other digital-painters wanting to switch to a GNU/Linux workstation with all comfort.
