Ubuntu 24.10 Review

Nobody expects a Linux distribution ... review. But this is a long, thorough one of Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole, tested in a multi-boot Windows and Linux setup on a laptop with AMD processor and integrated graphics and SSD storage, covering live session, installation and post-install use, including look and feel, ergonomics, awful fonts, confusing first-time setup wizard, redesigned installer with bad workflow, slow boot time, rigid desktop and missing configurations, performance, responsiveness, problems due to Wayland and underlying Gnome technology, unappealing App Center, significant eye strain due to bad font color and contrast choices leading to shortened testing, comparison to older Ubuntu releases and Unity desktop, overall trend in quality and usability, some other observations, and more. Take a look.
