Are you planning an update to your current distro?
Nope, I'm pretty much always using vanilla Debian. At work, we use a highly customized version of Debian.
Yeah, I've been seeing more and more office / production envs using debian now-a-days
@SavvyNik Yes, our servers run Debian too. At home, Debian with XFCE is hard to beat. If they can get Wayland running on their next few releases, it'll continue to be great.
Sweet
I will give it try
I’m anxiously counting the days!!! Running 23.10 and excited to see it in full bloom in 24.04 ❤
I'm also using 23.10. Will i get an update of this on my system or have to do a fresh install?
@@santubasak7860you'll be automatically notified by the system. I've personally never had any problem upgrading
@@santubasak7860 The best option is a fresh install,. takes only as long as an update

I'm going to give the new Ubuntu a try, and I really liked the wallpaper.
The crown was an interesting touch haha
Excellent marketing move in CentOS 7 EOL time!!
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.

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.
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.
Using Ubuntu 23.10 but also installed KDE Neon with Plasma 6.0. Plasma 6.0 is really really really good. Choice is good.
I tried KDE lately, but it is soooooo slow compared to other DEs. There was nothing I could do to improve the performance, even with deactivated animations :(
That is the version with the XZ backdoor, right? It was delayed because of that.
I'll definitely be upgrading from 22.04, but im not sure if I'll nuke and pave, or try a distro upgrade.
Beautiful distro.
wanna try it on my virtual box; possibly set it up on my desktop after MS stops supporting W10 next year.
Would be interested in why they chose flutter over gtk or qt.
Can the Installer create encrypted multi Disk Installations?
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
*23.10.
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.😥
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.
Ew
That will never happen.
Will you be having a look at the other 24.04 releases?
Possibly. Which flavors were you thinking?
Xubuntu, please.@@SavvyNik
@@SavvyNik the 3 main ones I'm interested in are: Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu Cinnamon!
@SavvyNik ubuntu studio and/or xubuntu please 🙏
Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 might be interesting.
I dunno about 24.04 cause this is my production system but 24.04.1 is almost a definite thing for me.
WoW, gnome 46 codename Kathmandu, Capital of Nepal, currently I am in Kathmandu. Historical Place with blending Architecture.
Wait until the 2024.04.03 version is out, by which time any issues should have been ironed out.
Yeah, always better to wait for some bug fixes before switching.
ooo really interesting to see how bcacheFS performs, its supposed to be like BTRFS but better

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?!
Does the installer work now, is the 64bit time shift finished?
*now? Is (to fix your comma splice run-on)
@7:56 that copying dialogue box needs to be fixed. The "arrow" pointing to where it expanded from doesn't align properly - this is a gnome issue though, not an ubuntu one

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?
You can upgrade when it’s released
Please make a video on serpent os, me like rusty things :D.

@@alvallac2171 I will merge these changes to the main branch of this comment. Thank you for your contribution.
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.
Linux is one at the kernel level. What the user interacts with above that benefits hugely from being plural. There isn't one distro to try, you choose the one that's best suited to each PC's role in the household or workplace. E.g. the baby uses trisquel sugar on a 20 year old palm top, the router runs PFsense, the laptop I take on holiday has TAILS, the nas is Puppy, the jukebox is puppy, the cctv is ubuntu, the pentesting is on kali, the music and graphics are ubuntu studio, retro gaming on xubuntu... that's about 10 distros in the house right now off the top of my head, and I'm just a user not a developer
Think i may just stick to Arch/Plasma personally. Not a fan of snaps/flatpaks as they always get fucky for me, and some reason are worse in ubuntu in my experience.
Почему они до сих пор не уберут папку snap из $HOME ?
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.
It does seemingly seem like there's more steps.
Maybe i try 24.04 because see good bye Windows 10. Abnormal Microsoft idea next year pay update. 😢
Not a fan of Gnome because it really lacks customization, but I'll look forward to trying Kubuntu (hopefully with Plasma 6) or maybe the new Mint based on this release. Lately I've tried Fedora and Tumbleweed (both great) but I always have more problems to fix with them than I do with Debian/Ubuntu based distros.
Id advise waiting for plasma 6, give it a few more months, maybe less. I've had a few crashes with my arch/plasma 6 install for no discernable reason no matter what I do. Others have had no issues, some of us have. Overall it's great. But not 100% stable yet. I'm considering downgrading to 5.27 for the stability till 6 is ironed out.
I feel the same way about Gnome desktops. I've been using Ubuntu as my Jellyfin server for several months, but am switching to Mint because I prefer the Cinnamon desktop, even though the only thing I actually do on there is rip DVD and BluRay movies. My main computer is running Garuda with KDE Plasma 6. I have not had any trouble with it, but I don't do much beyond using a web browser, OpenShot video editor, Handbrake, and some light gaming.
@@brokeredneck Kubuntu 24.04 won't be using Plasma 6, still will be using 5.27.
There's always Tuxedo OS if you want a "de-snapped" Kubuntu experience. It comes standard with flatpak and apt.
KDE Plasma 5.27 is pretty rock solid. I switched from Cosmic-Gnome and like it so far.
Will snapd be optional?
Replying to self - 24.04 beta has snapd in there --way deep! Can you say Goa'uld? The ISO is 5.3G. If you were still on dialup you'd have to be reincarnated to see it finish ;/
What was wrong with the other installers?
I guess it was not easy to customize and extend with new modules because it used old technologies.
In my case it is not really worth it. I get a lot errors and don´t send/send report pop up windows.
*case, it *get a *lot of errors *don't
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.
Well, improvements for you could be, amongst other things, toggling between light and dark theme from the quick settings, a clearer font type, the addition of a simple tiling windows manager, and the (re-)added option of a tree view in Nautilus, all of which were already (re-)added in 23.10. Specifically in 24.04, things like a quicker toggle between picture and list view in Nautilus is added and access to OneDrive from within Nautilus. GNOME just keeps getting better, and Canonical always a few nice extras.
@@AntoonStessels Tree view is great. Yeah it would be good to have a recap of improvements between the LTS releases, I'm on 22.04. When I was on a Mac I used to have a Finder window opened with the sidebar minimized, and I would naviagte with cursor up/down/left/right to have a simple intuitive overview of my project and I would just drag/drop files onto gVIM (or MacVIM in this case). With Ubuntu indeed I was not able to do that. It worked great but specifically because Finder remembers its window setting for each folder in a small hidden file. Theefore in my project forlder in the terminal I would type "open . " and it would open the finder window exactly like it was last time, with minimized sidebar and the last opened folders and so on. The thing where Ubuntu is still really bad UX wise is the desktop. The simplest way for users to personalize their desktop is to be able to just drop shortcuts and move them. You can also sinply drop a shortcut to a webpage from the browser. In Ubuntu or GNOME those are all things that need addons and even then don't work reliably. Shortcuts in Linux in general re just awful, there is no simply user friendly way to edit them, you have to edit text files like "launchers" it's like ten years behind Windows :/
When updated the system breaks
Older ubuntu have extremely good grub theme and Plymouth theme as well transparent terminal. Modern ubuntu is messed up these things and now bit boring
i use BSD btw
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.
The 24.04 ist the greatest Shit i ever seen from Ubuntu. Ful of terrible Bugs.
I had the daily iso install and yesterday there was an upgrade. I upgraded and on reboot I got the msg that the system broke down and no recovery possible.
Yikes
The repos were in a bad state due to the recent xz backdoor. There were a lot of broken packages and dependency chains while they rebuilt a ton of packages.
Same here.
Hey savy nik wth news of windows why they're asking 60 usd after eol of it
Trying to download it with zsync but can't get it to work. Why are they still oversized images?
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?
On top of it you could aay
I'll update not until the 24.04.1 release. 😁
Better wait for 24.04.3.
@@joeschmoe3815 right now, I'm planning to switch to Zorin OS 17.
that is a smart move.

Not relevant to this video per se, but I tried Cosmic DE, but had a ton of issues with the systemd init system. Wish they had an option for grub (only) because I've never had an issue with it.
What was happening?
Is there a reason they don't use grub?
Isn't Cosmic still in Alpha?
They used to but switched I believe around 18.04 so quite a few years ago
Yeah
Ubuntu doesn't seem to know they have a 24.04 release, or did you forget to mention the "not yet" aspect?
He said it’s releasing April 25th. Or did you forget to watch “the video” aspect?
As you can see in the video, he was downloading a daily build, which means he was using a prerelease nightly build. Those are bleeding edge versions with little or no testing (automated testing at most). Those are meant for developers and bleeding edge testers. That being said, the first beta release of 24.04 is expected to be released today. They're in the home stretch now, where it's all about testing and bug fixes in preparation for the final release. They're done with UI changes and new features.
Its still Ubundu at the end of the day
*It's (contraction of "it is" or "it has") its = possessive pronoun All contractions have apostrophes. Possessive pronouns never do. *Ubuntu *day.
Snap performance any better? Snap made the last Ubuntu version almost unusable on low-end hardware.
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
Both would work great for dev since they share all the same repos. Use the one with the environment that you like more
@@SavvyNik I was mislead, Lubuntu still looks the same and turns out the multiple videos I was watching had a theme on, so I went with 24.04. I already got my environment setup.
No Snaps for me - If you run $ df -h You see all crap that snaps add to your file system
Remove it then and replace it with flatpak
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).
I always got errors in 22.04. And i wanted to give a second chance Ubuntu for 24.04. It is still give me errors! I think Ubuntu won't be a stable OS never :(
I never get errors in 22.04. Nor in any LTS version since like 2010 or so. So I think it's a very stable OS.
I wish Ubuntu used Debian stable packages and had release cycle 1 year
Is there snaps? Yes or no?
Ubuntu could have been one of the best Linux distros but they decided to ruin it with snap
For a basic user I do not recommend Ubuntu as a desktop OS. It is better to install Kubuntu or Mint. Kubuntu has so many GUI tools and it is easier to enable both flatpaks and flathub repository. KDE is also customizable out of box. Meanwhile Ubuntu needs gnome extentions for even changing fonts. Snap packages are still bad. They are slow and janky as well.
That's strange. I have a few applications both as .deb and snap. Hardly notice any difference except that the snaps are the latest version.
*extensions
Until they rid the thing of Snaps I'm not going near a Ubuntu.
it got better tbh.
I'm staying away from Ubuntu after testing out version 24.04. Much preferred version 22.04.
Wait wait wait, 2:08 it uses by default fat32 and ext4 !? what the f. . . even suse uses btrfs by default now, they could havbe used it or their child zfs but they picked this !? what a joke
just use btrfs convert its so easy
fat32 is the standard for EFI partitions. And yes they use ext4, it's stable and reliable. Debian uses ext4 also, RHEL uses xfs (and has btrfs deprecated), and I believe SUSE Enterprise Linux recommends ext4 (but I couldn't find much information online). And most Debian and Ubuntu based distros like Mint and Pop use ext4.
btrfs and zfs are for storage servers, not for general desktop use.
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
Spot on!
ditch ubuntu & ubuntu based distro & use debian based distro like MxLinux or Linux Mint LMDE
Here's a tip: how about you don't tell people what to do. Do what you want to do, and that can be the end of it.
Don't fucking promote your distro flavours.. Let people choose what they like. Linux was and will always be " In the hands of the People". They decide what they like. As far as popularity for a distro goes, Ubuntu still holds the appeal. Personally for me, I like the Debian Family with Ubuntu and Mint both my top choices for my alternate drivers. For others it maybe the Red Hat Family Or the Arch family.. We cannot continue to have like 1000s of distros and then keep hopping one after another.. The goal is to select one, two or maybe three. That's about it. I have ended my distro hopping quite early on.. Settling down with Mint and Ubuntu forever.
Ubuntu is the only distro the work for me with out any issues i dont care about package format wars i use snap .deb and flatpak i only care about a working system .
why? Ubuntu is the best distro I don't know why benchmark numbers aren't more popular, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu smokes all of them.
@Mars-wy6rz 0. ubuntu is not the same distro people used in the past. 1. ubuntu based on debian, as debian progress ubuntu advantages are gone, 2. manage by corporate companay who added propritery garbage like snap are force user to use it, 3. snap contain crypto scam, watch from 8:13 kzhead.info/sun/ismKns2GnZp4pI0/bejne.html 4. debian based distros are much lighter than ubuntu based distros, 5. because of what canonical is doing with ubuntu linux mint team have to start debian based distro which is (Linux Mint Debian Edition LMDE) & it is future of linux mint. 6. after using propritery microsoft garbage windows i can say opensource & community based distros are much better, here is another corporate garbage video redhat who thinks propritery garbage is good. kzhead.info/sun/mdWfqbFvsXdsfoU/bejne.html 7. software open slow because it used snaps, kzhead.info/sun/o7GfoaeymYWjhI0/bejne.html 8. i can give you tons of other reasons why not to use ubuntu or corporate propritery garbage.
Looked at it today on a daily build. Looks like crap.
Then I'm pretty sure you didn't look at it at all. Maybe you suffer from crap?
@@hansreynders6853 I have been working with computers for over 40 years and I give many distros a thorough review. This walk thru was nothing more than typical click-bait.
Thanks but no thanks 😊
My favorite thing about Ubuntu is that I don't use it. Never, no way, no how, no thanks.
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.
How so forbidden?, I'm able to install them just fine
What's the app used to draw on the screen? Thanks.
