Logikal Solutions ☛ A Linux Distro That Doesn't Force Updates Like Windows – Logikal Blog
I really hate it when a search takes me to a “Stack” site, especially a Linux based “Stack” site. Everybody who does anything serious with Linux is looking for a desktop distro that doesn’t force updates out. When you work in the safety critical systems world you will fail a binary audit if even one version of one library is different on the system.
So, I knew I shouldn’t click the link going to this question.

OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu Core Desktop Debut No Longer Planned for April
Ubuntu Core Desktop will not be released alongside Ubuntu 24.04 LTS in April, as originally hoped.
For those of you think thinking “wait, what?!” — last year Canonical announced it was developing an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop (the existing Ubuntu Core release is for IoT/embedded use).
Further, engineers working at the company said the aim was to make the first version of Ubuntu Core Desktop available to download in April, released alongside Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
To be clear: Ubuntu Core Desktop wasn’t going to be a default, recommended download at first (lest anyone panic), but a formal public preview release that interested users could choose to use.
