I have finally bitten the bullet and declared Ubuntu now dead. I have gone back to Windows 10 after seven years of using Ubuntu 14.04. And I never thought I would ever say that even Windows 10 is...

Okay, I will make all of you that responded here a deal. You give me the missing drivers for my hardware, I will install it and keep using 14.04 on my new computer. Then any or all of you try to hack...

Yes I am.

No, my computer is brand new.




If I promise that I will never ever ever go online would you then help me, even if you will never ever ever know it if I break that promise?

I have tried 16.04, but there were several isues that did not work anymore (things that worked perfectly fine in 14.04). And I don't have the time to learn everything from scratch again for 18.04 and...

Okay, so if I ask you (or anyone else) where I can download the missing drivers for my hardware, even if I have to pay for them) so I can get my hardware working with Ubuntu 14.04, would you (or...

One thing that I will never be able to understand is why every "upgrade" feels more like a downgrade to me. That was the exact reason why I changed from Windows to Ubuntu several years ago. And...

Is there any other linux os that I can install once and use it for the rest of my life please? One where I don't need to upgrade every so often to something I never asked for. Something that there is...

Okay thanks, I have read about rolling release distros and that sounds even more horrible to me than Ubuntu 18.04. So I will just stay with tried and trusted 14.04 then. At least I will not be...

Quite true malspa. Thanks for the information and for saving me a lot of time. I appreciate it.

Okay, so now I am asking uRock. Can you please explain to me what a "rolling release distro" is an where do I find them. I am a good learner if I need to, I just don't want to reinvent the wheel...

That will teach you to use toasters that need to be connected to the internet where all sorts of virusses are lurking. My toaster is still working after ten years because I never connected it to the...

Were you in any way forced to buy a new toaster? Did the toaster-makers inform you that your old toaster is now outdated and declared dead?

Is this your normal way of getting rid of someone who does not agree with you to accuse him of trolling???

That is quite obvious! And in four, five years time I will again need to find out some things that are of no interest to me.

I never needed to find out before Ubuntu 14.04 was declared dead.

If you say so, I wouldn't know. I don't even know what Unity or the desktop is.

All the features in Ubuntu 14.04 will work for me, thanks.



I still have the same car I bought twenty years ago and it is still running perfectly fine for me. I also still live in the same...

To be honest, I don't have a cooking clue what most of you are talking about here. I don't know what is Hoyle, xWindows, Xubuntu, gnome, Unity, DE, etc, etc. All I know is that Ubuntu 14.04 does...

Really??? But they do have plenty of time to develop a complettely different looking OS!! Makes perfect sense doesn't it.

Artim, my point is, why should I throw away a perfectly good and working OS just because someone else wants something to change? Why can't I keep on using Ubuntu 14.04 which I kwow perfecrly well...

So are you saying that I should not just throw away a perfectly working OS just because you declared it "dead", I must also throw away a perfectly working computer? And then some people still wonder...

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

My personal two pennies worth about Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

Unless you really enjoy being frustrated out of you mind, DO NOT INSTALL IT. It is even worse than Windows 10.
...

No 14.04 is not dead. It is still running happily on my computer and wil do for the next hundred years as long as all automatic updates are blocked.
