LWN ☛ A look at Ubuntu Desktop LTS 24.04
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, code-named "Noble Numbat", was released on April 25. This release includes GNOME 46, installer updates, security enhancements, a lot of updated packages, and a new App Center that puts a heavy emphasis on using Snaps to install software. It is not an ambitious release, but it brings enough to the table that it's a worthwhile update.
Ubuntu users expecting to upgrade to the new release right away are in for a bit of disappointment. The release notes indicate that upgrades from earlier releases are not yet supported. Users on the previous release, 23.10, will be offered an upgrade via Ubuntu's software and updates application when it is ready. Moving from 22.04 LTS will be supported when 24.04.1 is released in August. Those eager to jump right in are advised to make a backup of their data and do a clean install rather than attempting an upgrade.
