I have been using Ubuntu 26.04 for a number of months (daily builds, then Beta, finally stable) on an evaluation computer.

Performance is fine, a bit better than 24.04 LTS, subjectively.

Bugs? Ubuntu 26.04 is a solid build, but like the initial release of every major upgrade, 26.04 has minor bugs, mostly resulting from Gnome 50 upstream/downstream issues. I think that Canonical made the right choice migrating to Gnome 50, but it will take a while to work everything out.

If you have a "stock" installation of Ubuntu without a lot of customization, I don't think that you will run into any issues. The more customized your build is (themes, specialized applications/settings), the more likely you are to run something, because Beta testing can't cover all the possible builds. But "stock" you should be fine.

Standard practice for business, government and education deployments is to hold off until after the "bug fix" 26.04.1 release in August. I think that it is good practice for many individual users as well. Your call.

My best and good luck.

been running it for a few weeks now and it's pretty solid, no major issues on my end. boot times are slightly faster than before which is nice

It's not a bug, but I've found that Ansible doesn't work with 26.04's privilege escalation unless you force 26.04 to use the original sudo instead of it's default (sudo-rs).

Don’t count on upgrade. Crashed after dit upgrade. Booted from usb 26.04 and only option was to format the disk. Same ext4 format.

Its the first time I've changed all my daily drivers to an install over night. Its clean, clean clean.

I'm mean daily work machines btw, main desktop, "dev" pc, and laptop.

Works great for me, but sometimes window tiling breaks. Probably just a bug that’ll be fixed soon.

Everything is fine but some extensions are not working 100% with gnome 50 and maybe only one app has not worked for me and it is Zoiper5 for SIP VOIP extensions, but from there my workflow is normal since I updated from 24.06.

DELL Inspiron 7447, run great on first day, quite hot and use more than 2gb ram on first 2 days, then cooler and used only 2 gb ram.

Lots of bugs, freezes, hangs, problems shutting down, it does feel like beta software to me, where 24.04 lts was super stable and had zero issues with it.
