I'm making a distro based on Alpine Linux called Dragony! Yes, i know i have to edit /etc/os-release, edit /etc/motd, edit /etc/issue and if the GRUB\_DISTRIBUTOR isn't linked to /etc/os-release or /etc/lsb-release i have to edit /etc/default/grub (and reconfig). Some of you have any tips?
Why does *everyone* use Hyprland on Arch or Nix and not on Ubuntu? Technically it supports the same packages, it's just not lightweight as Arch. To be fair, this applies to all Debian-based distros. Tell why in the comments, please!
It says that Ubuntu 26.04 requires a minimium of 6GB RAM, and if you see the specsheet it is True. But hey, at least i got 115 views on that comment 🥹
Can i still ask something in Ubuntu Ask and Ubuntu Forums even if i use an ubuntu flavor like lubuntu and not the «original» (supported by Canonical) one which has Unity (in legacy versions) and GNOME?
I've tried alot of distros, but i always end up distrohopping. I know this is subjective but for you?
I tried Lubuntu, Debian, ChromiumOS, ChromeOS (which i personally don't really like), Arch Linux, CachyOS...
I ended up distrohopping miserably.
I currently have Linux Mint, it works well for my hardware, but it's boring. I know that Ubuntu now requires 6GB RAM, and uses a patched version of GNOME with "ADs" (i don't believe that they're really ADs) and snaps. Believe it or not, i personally tried Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, it's good and all but it has not so much life left. Recently, in April of 2026, Ubuntu released a new non-long term version, Ubuntu 26.04. I really like it, but these are my specs:
4GB RAM
Intel Celeron (of 2013)
Intel HD Graphics 2500 (Ivy Bridge)
500GB HDD 5400rpm
I obviously don't fit in the requirements. Is there a way to have the exact look & feel of Ubuntu 26.04 but with less memory? Otherwise i'm just gonna stay on Linux Mint, but i want Ubuntu so bad. i heard of Ubuntu flavors, but i'm asking specifically for having the Ubuntu GNOME desktop on this little specs. Thanks!
