User since the Hoary Hedgehog days. Congrats Canonical on the new release. Slight tangent - is 22.04 in a good place as a daily driver? I know it's an LTS release. Mostly recalling concerns around wayland and zoom playing well together. Running a thinkpad t15 gen 2 if that helps.

I use Kubuntu 22.04...dot 04 I think?, haven't tried Zoom yet but all of my video-related stuff has worked fine, from streaming to video editing to various games. It's been solid here FWIW. I'm considering turning on backports, for that quasi-rolling experience. Note, I don't generally take the upgrade path and install from scratch before migrating my home folder & cron jobs and all that. Apt-clone can help as well.

As total Linux noob, I run Ubuntu 22.04 as a daily driver on my private Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2. No issues whatsoever, runs better than Windows. Exception: battery life, but I only use the nVidia graphics regardless of OS, and even under Windows that didn't reault in great battery life. The sole caveat, not all of my Steam library has been ported to Linux. Other than that, I hardly ever boot Windows on that machine anymore.

I want the Wireguard changes for GNOME 44, and 43 had lots of nice UI updates as well.

I've never even had a good experience with the zoom app on X. But it all works perfectly with the web version on both X and Wayland

Been using 22.04 for ~a year now as my primary workstation. My main pain-point is that I can't do screen sharing or snapshots with Wayland. If I had it to do over again, I'd avoid Wayland. Also, Firefox as a snap has largely pushed me away from Firefox.

  Does it work in X?
  - linsomniac 3y ago
    Unsure. It should. I went all in on wayland, and have decided to just use my mac for screen sharing and snipping rather than messing around with X. Is it easy to switch? Switching to Sway was easy.

      Switching to i3 should be easy, then
      - linsomniac 3y ago
        Yep, switching from i3 to sway when I made the 22.04+Wayland switch was pretty easy, had some issues with multiple outputs and the screen locker, but the bulk of the i3 config just worked.
