hi,
sorry for my ignorance, I am new in the adventure of Linux. But is it smart to wait a couple of weeks before installing brand new Linux/Ubuntu releases? I was on Ubuntu 24 but 26.02 is like a trainwreck. Missing Nvidia drivers, Python not compatible with software like Proton VPN. Everything that worked on 24 is not working on 26.02. A but disapointing honestly.
I am on a 2018 PC, but it’s not that old.
My pc is not welcome in the new Ubuntu world :’(
You are trying to install wrong versions of nvidia drivers and proton app.
For nvidia, use this https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-26-04
For proton vpn, I assume you are trying to install app meant for 24.04. Do not do that, just search one for 26.04, if it is available.
I installed Steam with flakpak, it works great!! Thank you so much for the help. I can continue using 26.04 <3
Hey, thanks for the reply!
When I start up steam, it says I am missing that specific Nvidia driver with commands to install it. So Maybe Canonical needs to release a new steam client as well?
On the Ubuntu discourse I saw other people had the similiar problem but with newer drivers

Thank you so much.
