Dual boot on Ubuntu

I downloaded the Ubuntu 26.04 ISO image and tried to install it alongside Windows. However, during the drive partitioning step, the option to install alongside Windows does not appear. The only available option is to format the partition and do a clean install. This is not the first time this has happened. I thought it was an issue with my USB drive, but I managed to install it on an external SSD.

Dual boot - Linux Mint

I downloaded the Linux Mint ISO image and went to install it alongside Windows. However, during the installation process on the HD, the option to install alongside Windows does not appear. The only available option is to format the partition and perform a clean installation. This is not the first time this has happened. I thought it might be an issue with my flash drive, but I was able to install it on an external SSD.

My One-Year Ubuntu Challenge: Why It Didn't Work Out

"I recently started a personal challenge to try using Ubuntu 26.04 for a year. Unfortunately, it wasn't feasible because the biggest issue was system lag and freezing, especially while editing in LibreOffice. I work producing educational materials and reports in MS Office formats. Everything is smoother and faster there, but when I use the open-source software, the laptop freezes, document formatting gets messed up, and even copy-pasting doesn't work properly.

I really wished this compatibility would work out, but I'm no expert-just a regular user who loves the Linux world."

IA para a Educação

Alguém conhece alguma plataforma de inteligência artificial para criar vídeos de 10 a 20 segundos? Sou professor e gostaria de produzir vídeos curtos de um personagem para usar durante as aulas, explicando ou destacando algum ponto da apresentação.

Does anyone have any indication of an artificial intelligence platform for create 10-20 second videos? I am a teacher and I would like to produce short videos of a character during classes explaining or pointing to some point in the presentation.

Folder shortcuts not working on OneDrive

Creating folder shortcuts on cloud/virtual drives (OneDrive, in my case) doesn't work. I tested it in my personal folder and it worked fine.

Folder shortcuts on the Desktop

How do I create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop? I didn't find that option. Unless I'm mistaken, it used to be there when you right-clicked.

Gaming on Ubuntu

Does anyone know how to install the default games that come with Ubuntu? I didn't do a full installation during setup. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm going to use Ubuntu as my main system at home, and I'd like to install the games for my daughter to play.

Challenge: Using Ubuntu for a year

Challenge: Use the Ubuntu system for one year.

I've been using Ubuntu since version 08.04 as a secondary system. I'm not an expert in the field, but I know a few things that help me get by. I want to run a test: I want to use Ubuntu as my primary system for one year without formatting and going back to Windows 11. However, I have some challenges to face:

Compatibility with the company's .doc files. I'm a teacher and educational consultant, so I use Office quite a lot.

Compatibility with Filmora. I work on producing video lessons and support videos, but the video editing software is not compatible with Ubuntu — only Windows or macOS. I bought a lifetime subscription.

I'm not sure how I'm going to solve this, but the challenge is on.

I've been using Onedriver on Ubuntu for about 3 years, but something happened with Ubuntu 26.04. The icon isn't showing up in this version of Ubuntu—does anyone have any updates?

How can I reset Ubuntu to its default state? I installed Steam and some games, but I changed my mind and want to start over without reinstalling the OS.

Friends,

I have a laptop that constantly reaches 100% disk usage. On Ubuntu GNOME, I always get this message when the system is under heavier load: “XXX is not responding.” I’ve been using Ubuntu Unity 26.04 and it has been working well. However, I’ve noticed that the system is not using the integrated NVIDIA graphics card. What do you think? Should I stick with it? And what about Kubuntu?
