I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS about a year ago. Now that 26.04 is out, I was planning to upgrade, but instead I think I’m going to wipe and re-install from scratch. Does anyone have any tips or tweaks they recommend for new installs? Things like, do or don’t encrypt the drive during the install process, make an administrator account separate from your regular user account? I already plan to install the Flatpak repo and the Gnome Software Center.

Thanks!

    Then I’d suggest Debian. But of course, you do you.

    Edit: EndeavourOS is another solid choice if you want to try out the Arch family of distros. It may seem counterintuitive for long term usage, but in practice, it can be very stable. I’ve been using the same installation for more than 5 years now. You get all the latest stuff, and upgrades are done regularly, so there’s no issue of major version upgrades like Debian or Ubuntu.
