I installed Ubuntu Jammy a few months ago, when it was released, on a desktop computer. It was a terrible experience: crashes now and then, and the Wayland session was not working well on some applications.

The installation went really smooth, and I’m enjoying a very fast and stable Linux OS on this laptop. […]
