Now that Ubuntu 24.04 is stable (ie: on version 24.04.01), it’s time to upgrade my Ubuntu 22.04 servers.
This one is a 3D-mapping server that I use for drone stuff. It’s running Kubuntu, which is overkill for a server. But I’m loving KDE these days. Most of my servers have no GUI at all.
It’s been many years since I’ve run Ubuntu on a bare metal install. Probably back when you had Ubuntu running in your highschool computer lab(cool). I really like Ubuntu 24.04 on my Thinkpad. Everything has a real premium vibe and everything just works well. Even though it’s running Gnome the unit feels snappy.
That’s my fave on my Pi4, Ubuntu 240.04 w KDE Plasma. one day I’ll get a Pi5 but it runs pretty damn good on the 4.Good as or better than WinDohs does on most of my customers’ PCs.
Hey a quick question for you guys. How’s the stability of Kubuntu vs. Ubuntu? I have no complaints of Ubuntu other than it uses 1.3 GB of RAM just to run. I’m assuming KDE will be less.
I think it will be close to the same. I’m seeing 1.2 GB of RAM on a Kubuntu server running VPN and torrent software, for example:
Thanks for the reply, MiG! I’ll leave well enough alone then as the Ubuntu Thinkpad is running well.
