Installing UBUNTU Studio - 25.1

I was not happy with ARCH based Ultimate Linux and decided to go for UBUNTU Studio.

It is comprehensive.

I found it accidentally in the bottom of the www.distrowatch.com.

I think it deserves to be higher up.

It has all the Audio and Videobpackges in one place, some of which I have never heard of.

As usual, my advice is to install offline.

But connect it to the Internet for after install UPDATES.

It is very SLOW in progress from one Step to the Next Step which is ideal for a newbie.

No different to other distributions it took a hell of a long time to read my Partition Table.

It is still probing and I did not bother to note the time but it was before midday.

Ubiquity in progress but not in panic mode. 

Still at partition 12 of 29 partitions and time for me a cuppa.

I skip lunch but stll does not need Liquorice for healing peptic ulcers.

In retirement panic modes comes rarely especially instsllinng UBUNTU.

If calls Happy Path when mounting a disk partition. Thank YOU-UBUNTU.

It took 35 minutes to probe my disk but still not installing.

It is in false mode not in true mode.

50 minutes gone still in false mode.

It is no surprise I left UBUNTU 30 years ago.

But I will keep it until I get ged up with Linux Media profiles.

I get feeling it would go on with endless loops without doing the installation.

After 55 minutes gave curtin command install.

Thank YOU-UBUNTU.

One got to be very patient in Linux.

It is KDE desktop that adds to the slowness.

LibreOffice 25.2 and not the LibreOffice Fresh.

Firefox does not go to its home site and no canvasing or asking for money.

Plus point is unlike the current UBUNTU which does not support Synaptic Package Manager, it supports it.

Not short of additional packages.

It does not need any.

UBUNTU installer is pain with or without online support.

It took 21 minutes to write the compressed image to the USB.

Uncompressing and installation taking 50 minutes is realistic.

But I like the MANJARO method, just install the desktop without applications in 15 minuts and add additional applications of choice after initial install and configuration.

No wonder I am hooked to ARCH Linux specially REBORN OS.

Reborn OS unlike MANJARO, UPDATE the system in live instalation. No UPDATES necessary after first install.

Picking a distribution is YOUR Choice.

Two (2) solid hours of installation and still not finished.

Took a long time to configure LibreOffice localization.

It has security checks but failed to upgrade even simple applications.

UBUNTU Studio confirms that KDE Desktop is a PAIN.

GO GNOME is my GOAL.

I want to see how GRUB perfoms.
