Darn, your warning is one day too late for me because I wasted most of my Saturday installing Ubuntu 24.04 and having it break after installing updates. After reboot, the screen would always stay active, but I'd only see black.
Same problem happened on 23.10 (although it works fine on my htpc), which was a real bummer, because I'd need 23.04 or later to install the Linux beta of Studio One, the DAW I'm used to.
Well, it wasn't all in vain though. I ended up making a new Ubuntu 22.04 installation, this time with a separate 16 GB swap partition (and a separate home partition, saving me all this tome to set up again), which fixed the performance problems my VMs had, so now I can just use Studio One in a Windows 10 VM, as I intended to do initially for the sake of simplicity and it works perfectly well. Of course I would prefer if I didn't need Windows at all anymore, but that's the only thing I need the VM for, so it's fine.
Plus, I haven't tried installing Studio One through Wine yet, that's next, now that I understand how to use Wine! 😂
Linux mint wants to change to Debian based
I just fresh installed Ubuntu 2 days ago (I did not Upgrade, I installed it from 0) and so far so good. The best Wayland experience I've had so far (I'm full AMD but even then my experience wasn't good before)
What does CDN mean?
I do not want the Daleks coming after me.
another Ubuntu leap to success…. in a few years, the majority of Linux users will be only using pure Debian, if this disastrous course continues and Linux mint does not make its Debian Edition the default.
200👍🎉
I clone the drive with clonezilla, then clean install Ubuntu 24.04.
I'll update in 2 years.
Thanks for the video. I've installed Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu 24.04 on several computers with no issue. All were fresh installations.
For 24.04 I did a clean install as you mentioned, I take a full backup, install and add it all back. I always do this at every LTS release. So far I haven't seen much issues, orther than some apps I have to wait until they are updated for noble, nvidia driver a little old (5.35) but it's solid all the games I usually play are running fine under wine
I so cant wait for Zorin OS17.2 or OS18 being a Fan Boy of Ubuntu w/GNOME Desktop environment with a few mixed applications in the OS. I am so suspense by this new Ubuntu version.
Please do investigate that update to Unity! I don't use Unity but I'm curious about how it looks and what it fixes.
some things I don't really understand ubuntu 24.04 has just been released and the world is already jumping with problems from it my opinion is that you should wait for it to receive the first major update and then come with problems if there are any more now newly released it seems normal to me to it has some problems, I don't know, but I think that every operating system in the first two months after its release has some problems, so let's relax to receive a major update and let's talk.
I use fastfetch… It's faster than neofetch.
I have no idea what the heck you're talking about. Ha! Ha!
Upgrade!?!? The 24.04 LTS installer crashed 8 times on me!!! The whole reason I still use Ubuntu is because it was easy to install. Google ruined the installer. Go back to old installer. Stay on 22.04.
Mint… Is just sitting on it. Just update .XZ.
Don't do upgrade. Just don't. It's a mess. Stay off Pro as well.
The new GUI is gorgeous, but the installer… Don't.
And it's not just me. Everyone is getting installer crashes. Flutter sux.
Generally speaking, if stability is a priority, always wait for the first point release when it comes to a new Ubuntu LTS. That said, I already upgraded my computer to 24.04 LTS.
Jokes on you, I forced thunderbird to install as a snap when i realized firefox was also a snap!
Already fresh intalled Ubuntu 24.04 after using 20.04. I have some issues, but nothing deal breaking. So far positive stuff outweight negatives. I hope it will keep working good unlike 22.04. I hope Canonical would drop 6 month release schedule. Stability and quality over quantity must their priority. So in 2026 I wont upgrade on release.
I tried Ubuntu 24.04, a lot of things like Wine were not working properly. I was going to try Ubuntu Studio over Ubuntu Cinnamon, but there were so many issues I just decided to install LM for a while and wait till all the kinks are worked out 24.04. I used to install Ubuntu Studio with LM and it worked fine, but for some reason it did a right job of buggering up LM, which required some more work to fix. Just on LM Edge right now laying low…lol.
Correct! Ubuntu 24.04 gnome is buggy as hell right now.
Fastfetch is viable and loads way faster, also shows drives right out of the box. And Ubuntu's new installer for some reason constantly crashes on me, even on releases, which is unfortunate, but I run Endeavour now anyway.
I am using Linspire 14 and so far every program I have installed is not flatpack or snap and I really want to never have either.
Or just install 24.04 clean. No need for upgrade. 😎
Is anyone else having trouble with Lutris on 24.04 on a clean install?
This has become a trend with many distros. Pushing out new releases on a set schedule instead of when the OS is ready. I've tried Ubuntu 24.04 in a VM and on bare metal twice and it is still very much still a beta. I'd say give it 3-4 more months at least.
Ubuntu 24.04 has other issues even if you do a fresh install. I backed up and did a fresh install and it would lock up after a few hours and would boot into a black screen. I tried it twice and got the same results every time. I assumed it was something wrong with my machine but when I switched to Fedora 40 it has been working great for the last week. I am getting pretty pissed off with all the linux reviewers saying this is a great release when there are a ton of issues that would be blantantly obvious if you tried it on real hardware for a few days.
Yep. Wait for the point release of Ubuntu.
EDIT: At the same time will we have to watch what happens with Mint 22 and wait for 22.1?
