It only happens once every two years--a new release of Ubuntu LTS. Today I'm taking a quick look at the newly released Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat."

It's very polished. Very professional.

For Ubuntu Pro - you can have it for free for 5 machines for personal/evaluation usage. IMHO worth enabling

Been watching your videos for years now. To me you have become the information/revision standard!

As a flutter dev their installer is VERY well done! I'm very excited to see what else they bring to the flutter/linux ecosystem, especially as I've noticed a lot of Flutter-Rust developer job listings for Canonical recently.

I have to say it's by far the most GORGEOUS installer I have seen in my life

This is already so much better than 22.04. Thank you Ubuntu for such a polished release. I have to say, I am very shocked on how well 24.04 looks. In fact, I am running 24.04 as of right now. I just can't get over how neat and pretty it looks lmao

WOW!! just saw this video and glad to hear about the new release. Although I'm on Debian now, Ubuntu will always be special to me and i would always recommend Ubuntu to any friends over any other distro. Thanks for the update DT! I'll download the ISO and add it to my Ventoy collection.

I literally just updated from 22.04 to 24.04 because of the Quarter-Tiling feature

Ubuntu hit the nail on the head this one is special.

Installed it yesterday, couldn't wait

Nice video. Thanks. One comment - as stated on the installation screen Ubuntu Pro is currently free for up to five devices.

I have been using this for the last few weeks and I FINALLY got Steam to work. It would install and I would see the Icon in the top, but it wouldnt open after the first time. If anyone has an issue with it, once you install it and start it for the first time, you have to go to settings and turn off hardware acceleration for web and it works for some reason.

[seths]

one thing i noticed in the app center is that it doesn't tell you if the app is already installed; you need to select it first and see if it has the option to install or open. would be nice if there was some indication when browsing like an icon to show that it is already installed. I guess it's ok for the novice user but for more experienced users, install the synaptic package manager for more control and filtering options.

I like the generic utility names, it's a royal pain needing to test the webcam but I can't recall if it is called 'Cheese', 'Gouda', 'Brie' or whatever . I simply need to look for camera because I need to test the camera. Since I use different distros in different situations having generic names for some things is quite helpful to me at least.

No matter how times I see it, I am always amazed by your strong and complicated passwords

I recently came back to Linux (started using Ubuntu as a daily driver back in '09 with Karmic Kuala) but stopped using it in 2011 and just came back to it 2024 with the new release of 24.04 LTS... I don't know why people make a big deal out of snaps, it works perfectly fine on my system... I also gotta say, I peaked under-the-hood (apparmor and snaps sandbox) just really impressed with Ubuntu!

[plutorocks]

Ubuntu is an ancient African word which means I cannot configure Debian

Great video and very informative, Kudos.

[MrDavidablake]

This was a very informative overview of Ubuntu 24.04, thank you.

Just upgraded from 23.10 to 24.04 worked well, no issues. Wanted to change to something more stable so went for the LTS. Seems nice.
