hi,

sorry for my ignorance, I am new in the adventure of Linux. But is it smart to wait a couple of weeks before installing brand new Linux/Ubuntu releases? I was on Ubuntu 24 but 26.02 is like a trainwreck. Missing Nvidia drivers, Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN. Everything that worked on 24 is not working on 26.02. A but disapointing honestly.

I am on a 2018 PC, but it’s not that old.

My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(

    Thank you for all the replies! I will bunker in and wait it out. For the nvidia problems, it’s Steam recommending me drivers which were pre installed on Ubuntu 24, but on 26.02 the were nuked :( I still want to be social and play some games with my friends

    sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550-open

    Gives all all these errors with dependencies.

    Proton VPN I installed from official command lines from their website:

    sudo apt install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

    `Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:

    1. python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=5.0.1 is selected for install because:
      1. proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 is selected for install
      2. proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 Depends python3-proton-vpn-api-core (>= 4.14.0) [selected proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1] For context, additional choices that could not be installed:
      • In proton-vpn-gnome-desktop:amd64=0.10.1 Depends python3-proton-vpn-api-core (>= 4.14.0):
        • python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.19.1 is not selected for install

        • python3-proton-vpn-api-core:amd64=4.14.1 is not selected for install`

    ok back to Ubuntu 24 it is :)
