I recently added ubuntu desktop to my gpu server, and I was shocked at how unusable the UI is out of the box. It was laggy on a modern Nvidia gpu, it wasn't very good looking. Someone really needs to create a better out of box experience
- johnny22 2y agodid you install the proprietary nvidia driver ? I think ubuntu makes you install it once logged in. Nvidia won't be decent without the proprietary driver in the near term.
- mvkel 2y agoShocked? It's been this way since the very beginning. It's the byproduct of not having vertical integration anywhere in the stack
- pilaf 2y agoYou may want to try Pop!_OS [1], it's based on Ubuntu but AFAIK includes NVIDIA's proprietary drivers out of the box, which is basically the "better out of the box experience" you're asking for. That said, I think there are legal issues around licensing with doing such a thing, which is why most distros avoid including them in the first place. 1: https://pop.system76.com/ https://pop.system76.com/
- rambambram 2y agoI ran Ubuntu Mate on a Raspberry Pi 4 for over three years as my daily driver. Mostly programming, browsing (also Youtube) and image editing. I even did some light video editing on it. I ended up with Mate eventually, other options except Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS didn't work fast enough. P.S. Literally every desktop environment on Linux looks better than Windows, if you'd ask me.
