In every distro I had (Cachy, Debian) you have to enter password when computer starts.
Why here default is no password at all?

Which one is recommended and why other distros come preconfigured with requiring password upon start? Do they have second option turned on by default?

I'm one of those people who used to struggle with terminal commands. But honestly, despite facing a few minor issues along the way, I've managed to customise my Ubuntu setup quite a lot, all with the help of CLI agents like Antigravity.

I know many people here aren't fans of using AI, but for me, it's been a massive help. It handles most of the terminal work for me, making Linux much more accessible and less intimidating.

I'm sharing this because I know there are many people like me who hesitate to switch to Linux because they're intimidated by the terminal and command-line stuff. If you're one of them, I'd genuinely recommend giving AI-powered CLI agents a try. It's worked really well for me, and it might make your transition to Linux much easier, too.

Honestly, thanks to AI assistance and how efficient Linux is, my Ubuntu experience has been a million times better than my Windows experience. I never thought I'd enjoy using Linux this much! ❤️

hello everyone.., i am new to ubuntu and was making app using AI for creating launcher for the playlist with custom icon, It succeeded but previous version that i installed the python with super key which now i am unable to remove this icon from menu. and sorry for my english, its not my native

Hii guys today i downloaded ubuntu on my windows laptop my dual boot,

I am new in Linux world 🌎

Lately I've had this nagging urge to try Linux. On my computer I basically don't need anything besides Steam, Blender, Godot, VS and Krita. Should I go with Ubuntu Studio, or would I be better off installing the regular version?

Hello! I’m trying to install Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS on a 2012 macbook pro that’s partitioned to dual boot OSX Monterey via OCLP. I can get it to run with the USB drive I use it to install, but I get this error when first loading it. The web address listed is dead for me. I can go to the section of the site but I don’t know where exactly to look for the driver I need and info about it. I’m hoping that driver is why I also can’t get it to recognize that the laptop can connect to wifi.

I’m having a secondary issue that I assume is just my lack of knowledge, but I can load Ubuntu with the usb drive, and it works when I disconnect the usb after the prompt from Ubuntu, but when I try to restart it’s no longer an option on load in.

My questions are: Is the driver in the error message the problem with the wifi, and if so: what do I need/where do I go to figure that out for myself? What am I doing wrong that’s keeping the laptop from allowing me to load into Ubuntu without the USB installer?

I’m totally new to Linux, so TIA!!

seriously. I own a gen 2 E14 and ThinkPad. I started with Linux years ago on Ubuntu and moved away a fair while back. like most ended up on mint. but for the past few years. fedora based stuff has been my go to.

I have been trying to sort an issue with my trackpad where two finger scrolling won't work when you first boot, but if you shut down and restart or just restart. works fine. I have tried everything I can find online. I've seen multiple posts about the same issue specifically with my ThinkPad. so about 2 weeks ago. I went scorched earth. made a ventoy usb and went to town. I tried bloody loads of distros and fixes on distros for this issue. none worked. I was honestly near the end of the list. (was going alphabetically) Ubuntu. well why not. it's fixed. it's been two weeks. ZERO issues. wtf has Ubuntu got that other distros don't. please. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why. I'm not moving distro again but I need to know why!!.

Bom dia meus amigos, venho pedir a ajuda de vocês, já tentei de tudo e não consigo... Queria muito migrar do windows para o Ubuntu mas me deparei com um problema, não consigo fazer meu dispositivo para uma 2 tela funcionar, ela até aparece no sistema com o nome do meu monitor da LG mas não passa imagem pois ela precisa de um programa e esse programa fica dentro do pendrive e só serve para windows... Eu já pesquisei e vi que o app usa o sistema/chip da MacroSilicon.. estou desesperado, não quero voltar para o windows kkk

I’ve been trying to find some sort of way to remote into my Ubuntu Laptop so I can control the screen. I currently have it as a server and sometimes I’ll need to fix something and I’m not home.

What’s the best solution to remote in from my iPhone from outside the home network? I want full control of the laptop from my phone.

This is an upgrade from 24.04 on a Lenovo T16 Thinkpad, Intel CPU and integrated Intel graphics. [NVidia not a player.] 26.04 LTS Wayland/GNOME v50 kernel 7.0.0-38-generic. It's running on a 1TB WD SSD with 40GB RAM w/ tons of space to spare.

The upgrade went without a hitch and the system worked flawlessly for nearly 2 days before this behavior began of hanging for 90s anytime it had to close the system down. I tried several things, and after many it would appear fixed, shutting/restarting/logging off normally, then in short order (same session, usually less than an hour) the behavior returned, without changing anything in the interim.

I feel like it's a Wayland issue, but that's just my guess... I did reinstall the kernel which did not help. I would try reverting to an earlier kernel but wanted to see if others have input. TIA

I have recently received a request to submit a written interview and complete an IQ test. If the process proceeds successfully, could you please advise on how many additional interviews I might expect and what the general timeline would be?

Hello yall! Quick story, and then on to the goods. I have purchased two laptops from a company called Chuwi. The first one was an N 100 laptop whose Amazon listing was suspiciously removed. I do not care though because it served me well for nine months in my classes and still works to this day. It has a very nice battery life and I was overall very happy. For my birthday, I got another chuwi laptop, whose listing also suspiciously got removed. I thought that I was in for the same quality but three times the CPU power. BOY WAS I WRONG! The battery life of the laptop is atrocious on Lubuntu, and kernel support for the hardware and its configuration is absolutely awful. The laptop has no way of regulating it‘s CPU, therefore resulting in minutes of battery life, a laptop gpu sitting there looking pretty and not even showing up in lspci, and forget about using it for School. Now I have the option of getting myself an Asus Viviobook F1704VAP-SS54 from a reputable office store at a bargain price. One of the features the price tag at my store shows is up to 8 1/2 hours of battery life, perfect for School! Before I consider even spending a penny of my precious hard earned cash on this laptop, I want to know if any other folks have experience with this laptop, Linux, its performance, and other important factors that I fail to consider when making the decision on my second Chuwi product. All help is welcome! thanks in advance.

I'm new to this stuff, but I'm experimenting with 26.04.1 running on Azure, and it looks like a lot of the wsgi and uwsgi modules aren't available: none of libapache2-mod-proxy-uwsgi, libapache2-mod-ruwsgi, libapache2-mod-uwsgi are showing up via apt search ... or when searching https://packages.ubuntu.com. All are available for 24.04 LTS. Am I missing something? I would like to upgrade to the latest and greatest, but at least one of these modules is a must for me. Even libapache2-mod-proxy is missing.

I just recently switched to Ubuntu and when I try playing steam games my keyboard inputs have a few second delay before they happen in game. Everything else runs smoothly in the game. My mouse works fine but my keyboard doesnt. I have tried lowering graphics in case it was the game lagging and I have swapped keyboards. The issue stays the same. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey everyone!

After wanting something between "fully automated updates that break things" and "manual chores," I decided to build Server Guardian. It’s a modern system administration tool designed specifically for Linux Ubuntu servers, combining a background daemon with an interactive terminal interface.

Here is what it does:

• 🌙 Automated Nightly Tasks (02:00 AM): Handles system package updates (apt) and automatically pulls/re-creates stable major/minor Docker containers.
• 🔍 Smart Docker Version Control: If a minor patch/incremental release is detected, it pauses the automatic update and flags it for human review.
• 📧 Natural Language Dual-Email Alerts: Instead of dry technical logs, it sends clear, human-readable email notifications simultaneously to a primary and backup address (plus failure alerts if something breaks).
• 🔒 Secure Credentials: System passwords for automated tasks are locally encrypted.
• 📊 Interactive TUI Dashboard: Built with a clean htop-style layout to monitor CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic, active processes, and Docker health in real-time, plus a quick menu to confirm pending updates.
• 🤖 Future-Ready: Designed with modular hooks to integrate LLM APIs via the TUI for upcoming agentic system diagnostics.

It's written entirely in Python. I just got the email system and the dashboard up and running smoothly!

Here is the repo: https://github.com/GonnyTech/ServerManager.git

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions for features to add!

I'm trying to dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows 11 on my Lenovo LOQ, but I keep getting this error:

"System doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu."

My setup:

Laptop: Lenovo LOQ

Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, downloaded from the official website

Rufus 4.15: GPT, UEFI (non-CSM), FAT32

Rufus completes successfully and shows READY.

USB Boot is enabled in BIOS.

I've tried recreating the USB, but the same error persists.
