  • Are you planning an update to your current distro?

  • Why are you nuancing all your words in the mid of the video? Just talk normal. You sound bored and just want to get it over with.

  • Hello – I am a senior user of Linux and am running Kubuntu 23.04. I want to upgrade to 24.04 and here's my hesitation – I updated to 23.10 but 23.10 would not recognise my usb external storage. I had no idea how to remedy that, so went back to 23.04. Now 23.04 is becoming unstable for some reason and it really is time to upgrade. My questions are – if I upgrade to 23.10, will the system automatically give me the option to further upgrade to 24.04? And, if so, will 24.04 recognise external USB drives automatically like 23.04 does now? I am NOT tech savvy at all. I switched to Ubuntu/Linux many many years ago and absolutely love the operating system because it is so very user friendly. Please can you help an old fart?!

  • Почему они до сих пор не уберут папку snap из $HOME ?

  • I really like that Lubuntu looks different and better now. Which would you recommend for dev work Ubuntu or Lubuntu 24.04 bruh? Edit: I forgot to add the bruh at the end

  • Ubuntu could have been one of the best Linux distros but they decided to ruin it with snap

  • Snap performance any better? Snap made the last Ubuntu version almost unusable on low-end hardware.

  • Haven't used Ubuntu in over a decade, i take it, Gnome is the desktop UI it uses? If so, is it easy to replace it? I think the UI looks rather dull and dated. Prefer something like the fan made windows 13 video that's trending. Also is it easy to install and update drivers for GPU? I recall having all sorts of cli commands just to get audio working (back in 2010) which put me off. Does it have a Google drive app? Ms teams app? Ms office app? Is gaming on steam platform still running via levels of software emulation? Is it arm64 ready? Appreciate if anyone can enlighten me as is love to flip the bird to Microsoft

  • The last time I tried to install Ubuntu, the installer never worked (23.10).

  • WoW, gnome 46 codename Kathmandu, Capital of Nepal, currently I am in Kathmandu. Historical Place with blending Architecture.

  • I use the iso image on the evening of the 17th, but when I install it to the windows and the hard drive box, I always make an error at the end, and I don't see any problem.😥

  • I'm going to wipe my Windows 11 laptop to put Ubuntu 24.04 on it. I was a Linux user but switched to Windows 11 when I got a new laptop and gave it a try for three years, but I can't stand it anymore, it is more stable than Windows 10 but now it has too much garbage, telemetry and feels very unfinished compared to Windows 10.

  • I wish Ubuntu used Debian stable packages and had release cycle 1 year

  • thanks for your video I like the look of the new app store and the new search options a new installer and extended support should give things a more polished look, you didn't include the default apps installed or what has been left out since 22.04 but I can search for that info. I usually wait for a few weeks before upgrading to see if any major problems get reported, I might just install 24.04 onto a new drive and unplug existing 22.04 and give it a spin.

  • linux will never get over a 2% market share until there is ONE version that IS Linux. There are so many version of linux, no one but linux nerds even know which one to try. All of them seem to be about as good a beta software at best.

  • I'm using Ubuntu 23.10 and its end of life is 11th July 2024. Will i get the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS update on my system or have to do a fresh install?

  • My favorite thing about Ubuntu is that I don't use it. Never, no way, no how, no thanks.

  • Wait until the 2024.04.03 version is out, by which time any issues should have been ironed out.

  • It's good to see they are addressing the 2038 problem earlier than the last possible moment like microsoft did.
    But what's going to happen when 292 billion years is up?
    Won't somebody think of the children? Or whatever they have evolved into?

  • Just like windows linux is also moving towards TPM 2.0 which means they might also move to the "NPU" chipset in future. In that case the theory we used to say like linux can run on any old PC is going to change forever.

    Because the above stuff means you can't run ubuntu 24.04 on old hardware.

  • it has subiquity bug since 23.10.1 it's not even installable. I'm using Asus laptop I can install any distribution except ubuntu. how come we can expect Linux will spread to common and be popular.

  • I dunno about 24.04 cause this is my production system but 24.04.1 is almost a definite thing for me.

  • looks great, glad the ubuntu icon is back! in the side bar. mainly just glad to see the new kernel available, fingers crossed it can support my hardware now.

  • Just came here to say……

    Ubuntu sucks now. They strayed to far from the path. Honestly just get debian 12, or linux mint.
    Or LMDE.
    Snaps sucks. Nobody asked for this lol

  • That is the version with the XZ backdoor, right? It was delayed because of that.

  • I left Ubuntu when they started aggressively pushing their snaps packs and forbidding flat packs. Not so freedom-friendly as Linux is intended to be.

  • Using Ubuntu 23.10 but also installed KDE Neon with Plasma 6.0. Plasma 6.0 is really really really good. Choice is good.

  • Maybe i try 24.04 because see good bye Windows 10. Abnormal Microsoft idea next year pay update. 😢

  • I like Ubuntu. Currently on 22.04, however I don't see any real UX improvements for my day to day workflow. Man, the default desktop on Ubuntu is so ugly. First thing I do after installation is setup gnome extensions and then either activate Dash2Panel for the Windows like taskbar or dash2dock. Both are superb extensions that make the desktop look much nicer. I love that dash2panel also has the same shortcuts as Win10/11 where you can press Win(or Cmd)+ a number to maximize/minimize/switch to an app that is pinned to the taskbar.

    PS: I read the Terminal is faster in GNOME 46 but it'll make likely zero difference tome as I never felt the Terminal to be slow in the first place (I'd rather use gVIM than vim in a terminal, VSCode, Sublime Text…).

    There are however some really nice extensions that came out lately like Astra Monitor and those extensions presented on "omgubuntu" seem to use the latest GNOME version. So it seems like that would be the main UX improvement that I would notice – better extensions.
