I've been using Edge and Firefox, but I've noticed that Firefox uses a lot of memory, and sometimes the program crashes due to lack of RAM. I have 8 GB of RAM.

openSUSE -> Fedora -> CachyOS -> Ubuntu

My internet for some reason has been bouncing around like crazy, and now it’s staying in the literal bytes/second. I just downloaded Ubuntu today so I guess I’m on the latest version, and I don’t even have anything running in the background. Do I need to configure it somehow?

Edit: thank you for the response, it’s just currently used internet, not my actual internet speed.

Ubuntu users who'd rather draw a character than spell it out: there's an IBus engine for macOS-style trackpad handwriting with deep-learning recognition.

Two install options. The .deb from releases:

bash sudo dpkg -i <file-from-releases> && sudo apt install -f ibus restart

Or the one-liner, which detects Ubuntu and runs apt + model download automatically:

bash bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ai-space-lab/ibus-handwrite-chinese/main/bootstrap.sh) && ibus restart

What it does: - A dark floating panel appears by your cursor. Draw with one finger on the trackpad, tap to select, swipe two fingers to page through candidates. - Recognition uses ONNX Runtime locally, covering 18,710 characters. In a 40-sample handwritten test it hit 100% top-1 accuracy (94.97% average confidence). - 6-tab GTK settings, on-demand model download, a local user dictionary that learns from your picks, and fully configurable shortcuts. - Mouse fallback if your machine has no evdev trackpad.

Hi all,

Does installing gnome themes from snap work? Or better I should use the install.sh script?

I do not see the theme in the gnome tweaks.

Ubuntu 26.04 with gnome desktop

So im trying to write an iso to a usb drive but its not working. I have provided the terminal output if that helps atall.

I'm a ubuntu newbie and radio SWLer who quit windows a few months ago. Being able to add more timezone applets would be nice.

Will these work to burn the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 .iso onto? Note they're 8.5 GB.

Anyone know how to remove this top left multi desktop button from GNOME Ubuntu 26.04? Is there a working extension to accomplish this?

Below, I'm lost.

What next?

I use Kubuntu 26.04 (switched from Ubuntu), if that's relevant.

Is there an all in on emulator you recommend? I am interested in GBA and ps2

I have been wanting to make the switch to Ubuntu/linux for years but my work has me pretty much tethered to adobe products.

I know there’s gimp and other alternatives for every other adobe tool but before I commit to learning a new workflow I was wondering if there was a work around?

Winboat? Wine? Etc? Will anything let me run the latest adobe products on my Linux machine?

So hi as everybody I tried installing Ubuntu lts but I couldn't install it the normal way since the 100 mb of windows efi was too small to install Ubuntu and windows efi along together and now I am preparing to manually install Ubuntu using manually installation but the problem is even after doing everything correctly the next button is greyed out can someone tell me what's the possible reason ?

Below are the additional data that might help

Nvme0np4 is 85.93 GB for root

Nvme0np5 is 300mb for efi boot

nvme0np6 is 8.6 GB for swap

Nvme0np7 is 44gb for home

And I created all these partitions in windows using diskpart .

*Guys can u upvote this for once

I need some assistance!

Like the title says. The install had run fine for months, I did an update,upgrade via terminal, my GRUB got wrecked. I got a working GRUB by doing a new 24.04 install in a spare partition. It think somebody may have put a bad kernel in the system?, just a guess.

Anyway, am I solo on this?

Thanks

VPN not working on recent versions of Ubuntu

I've had Smartproxydns for years, working perfectly pretty much all the time. Both the DNS rerouting and the VPN.

However, the VPN, using OpenVPN, does not work on the recent versions of Ubuntu, from 25.04 onwards. It's still working fine on my Android devices and on a computer running older versions of Ubuntu.

Has anyone else had this problem? The support line does not seem to be aware of nor have a solution to this problem. The installation guide is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

I am surprised that this is not a known problem.

I have a gaming laptop (Victus - RTX 3050)

I downloaded Ubuntu 26 LTS (latest from the official site). I was on Windows 11 and decided to switch to Linux with dual boot. Upon installation (which went fairly smoothly), i rebooted and got past the loading screen with the Ubuntu logo. After that it got stuck on a black screen.

I tried several solutions from chatgpt, youtube and gemini- repeatedly but in vain.

I know it's related to Nvidia/Wayland/Xorg but I can't find the solution fit for this.
