Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Downloads Now Available

([Ubuntu] 118 Minutes Ago Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)


The release ISOs for Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat" are now available! Ubuntu 24.04 is an exciting Long Term Support (LTS) update with this new Linux distribution release being powered by the Linux 6.8 kernel, [1]making use of Netplan for networking on the desktop, features the modernized desktop OS installer, various performance optimizations, and a ton of new features.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is a really great release with all of its fresh software packages, [2]the new desktop installer has evolved rather well, the GNOME 46 desktop is being used as the default desktop, and a variety of other refinements. There have already been dozens of Phoronix articles covering [3]Ubuntu 24.04 including preliminary benchmarks and more. I'll also have out some interesting Ubuntu 24.04 LTS desktop benchmarks in the coming hours.

Those wishing to download Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release images right now can find the freshly-pressed ISOs on [5]releases.ubuntu.com . Stay tuned for more Ubuntu 24.04 benchmarks to come on Phoronix. Great job to all those at Canonical and the community involved on making this rather great Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release.

Everybody but Sam had signed up for a new company pension plan that
called for a small employee contribution. The company was paying all
the rest. Unfortunately, 100% employee participation was needed;
otherwise the plan was off. Sam's boss and his fellow workers pleaded
and cajoled, but to no avail. Sam said the plan would never pay off.
Finally the company president called Sam into his office.
"Sam," he said, "here's a copy of the new pension plan and here's
a pen. I want you to sign the papers. I'm sorry, but if you don't sign,
you're fired. As of right now."
Sam signed the papers immediately.
"Now," said the president, "would you mind telling me why you
couldn't have signed earlier?"
"Well, sir," replied Sam, "nobody explained it to me quite so
clearly before."
