[Qgis-user] Migration to Linux

[Philip Barlow]

I wondered if that would be the case with the Flatpak, missing some optional python modules… It isn’t difficult to bolt on the extras if you need them though.

Canonical seems to think this sort of packaging is the way forward, given how much they are pushing Snaps on Ubuntu.

Although I agree that adding PPAs can be confusing for new users, if you are a Ubuntu user, you better start learning :-)

The QGIS project doesn't officially release binaries on any other formats. These are the guys behind the 3.14 Flatpak

Adding the PPA seems to be a very common stumbling block for new Linux users. Installing QGIS from repos yields a different versions depending on the update cycle of your distribution.

Flatpak, Snap or Appimage would appear to be easier, distro agnostic ways to install software. QGIS 3.14 is available as a flatpak… perhaps an LTR flatpak woud fill a gap?

Although not mentioned very often, openSUSE is also a user friendly, stable and high quality distro. I am a user since 2005 and have seldom had any problem in all those years. As for QGIS and other geotools there is the Application:Geo repository that is well updated and maintained. My choice however is to compile QGIS from source every once in a while. It is not so difficult as it sounds but perhaps not everyone's cup of tea.

/H.

Hello,

QGIS from Ubuntu repositories are generally very outdated. For that reason, we always suggest you to add a QGIS project PPA repository and install a more recent version.

Here you can find instructions on how to add the QGIS PPA repository in ubuntu based machines and install QGIS 3.14:

https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#quickstart

If you want to install QGIS 3.10 LTR, which I suggest you do, you will need to read about the different repositories bellow. Basically, you need to replace the URL in the quickstart instructions by this one:

https://qgis.org/ubuntu-ltr

I moved to Mint, which worked immediately from the

on Ubuntu because I really wanted to use Ubuntu.

You can go back to 10/19/2019 in the list archives, or
