Ubuntu 26.04 Linux distro introduction and review. If you are thinking of moving from Windows 10 Linux, Ubuntu is well worth considering.
You can learn more about and download Ubuntu 26.04 for free from: ubuntu.com/desktop
Information on the security improvements in Ubuntu 26.04 is here: ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-26-04-lts-security-updates
And my previous video on “Linux Desktop Security” is here: youtube.com/watch?v=IqXK8zUfDtA
I also have a video on “Switching to Linux: A Beginner’s Guide” here: youtube.com/watch?v=n8vmXvoVjZw

CLASSIC UBUNTU FONTS:
You may be perfectly happy with the default interface font included in Ubuntu 26.04. And if so, that’s great. :)
However, if you want to restore the previous, thicker interface font (last included in Ubuntu 22.04), execute the following commands in the terminal. However, please understand that you do so at your own risk, and that you may need to manually reset your terminal font in its preferences. Also note that you may need to pause and log-out or restart before entering the final command (which locks the old font and stops it being replaced during an update), as text will become unreadable. After installation, you may also want to adjust the font size in Accessibility, as shown in the video.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fonts-ubuntu-classic
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Ubuntu 11"
sudo apt-mark hold fonts-ubuntu fonts-ubuntu-console
