Are you planning an update to your current distro?

I’m anxiously counting the days!!! Running 23.10 and excited to see it in full bloom in 24.04 ❤

If possible share system data, Ubuntu's "telemetry" respects your privacy, this only helps the development of Ubuntu.

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.

I am on LMDE mainly but i will give it a shot, perhaps on my laptop

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

What's the app used to draw on the screen? Thanks.

I don't usually use Ubuntu, but I'm looking forward to trying it to test Labwc on a second drive.

I'm going to give the new Ubuntu a try, and I really liked the wallpaper.

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

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.

I have a problem with Linux distros after updating the kernel, the internet and wifi are not working how do I fix that issue?

[gmvekpm]

Can the Installer create encrypted multi Disk Installations?

My biggest issue with 24.04 is that it does not ship with FUSE2 meaning you can not run appimage files without installing it.

If for some reason we could not access internet, any appimage apps on an external drive would be useless on a fresh install.

For example I have Wikipedia downloaded and view it with kiwix as an appimage. I wouldn’t be able to use that on a fresh install.

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.

[knkillname]

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

[ryebread]

Does the app store allow you to uninstall Deb packages now? This was my biggest complaint, and why I didn't use it in 23.10

[anthonya]

How do you get VLC player to play dvds on this? I installed the codex packs but nothing works?

[LymanPhillips]

I'll definitely be upgrading from 22.04, but im not sure if I'll nuke and pave, or try a distro upgrade.
