Old IT guy here.... Rule of thumb... Never update on Release day. Always wait for .1 or .2 release before updating. The .0 is the mess, .1 are the panic fixes and .2 is usually the actual release that should have happened.
-
The whole 'we can't update apps because the app center is open and locked' bug has been around for years now. It's why I run all my updates from the terminal first, reboot if necessary, then open app center and check for anything missed. It's so stupid.
-
Small criticism apart, I've been noticing how GREAT things are right now. Ubuntu is great right now. Fedora is amazing. Mint is better than ever. Arch is fantastic. Debian is insane good. And it's not just distros: KDE is on a peak. GNOME is golden. Cinnamon is getting better and better on each release. Everything is really, REALLY looking up in the Linux world. Everything.
-
The scaling problem is due to gnome, not ubuntu. Actually it is for the x11 session, Ubuntu starts the installer in an X11 session, we all know that x11 and fractional scaling are enemies.
-
From the perception of the great majority of Ubuntu users the release cycle is every two years, not every six months. Even though I rarely use the intermediate releases myself I’m very happy they exist - it gives plenty of opportunity for testing new features, and must be very important for developers in particular.
-
Not gonna lie, I'm glad you use real hardware for your tests. Gives a better impression than using a virtual machine.
-
8:28 this lock process issue has been around for years now. I stopped using Ubuntu the moment I discovered this issue. I should not have to go to terminal to refresh snap-store everytime I want to update my system in 2024. This is just not acceptable. So thank you for everything you did for me Ubuntu(Ubuntu brought Linux into my life), but I am moving on.
-
The scalling bug at 7:11 and locking up the display seems to be an issue with GNOME on X11, it happened to me on the live installer (which uses X11) but not when installed which then uses Wayland
-
Nice review as well as merch and other discounts, subscribed thx man!
-
I agree, they delayed 6.06, we would easily forgive them if they released 24.06 instead of 24.04
-
I'm a huge Ubuntu fan, but that Snap store update issue? I think the first time I ran into that was 20.04. It absolutely should've been fixed by now.
-
I’ll have to check out what you were showing. The problem I had was with the installation. The installer crashed three times on me. The last time was after the install started. I checked system monitor and saw the processors were going pretty good so I assumed it was still going. When they flatlined, I rebooted the system. I booted it up fine into 24.04 after I had to choose which grub. It didn’t boot up to the 24.04 grub. I have a multi boot PC. I totally agree with you on the yearly schedule change. Every other year remaining LTS.
-
Was looking forward to 24.04. I use acpi on my dvr and it was causing headaches in 22.04. I wanted the update to see if some of the problems would just go away. Thanks for the review.
-
Thanks for the review. I'm sorry about the bugs you encountered, and I hope that the bugs that you mentioned will be ironed out by the time the first point release comes out.
-
23.10 has been very good for me... I'll stick with it for awhile.
-
I have had no problems with the Ubuntu 24.04 install. Now, I did a fresh install rather than an upgrade. I certainly didn't have the 4K Res issue or any of the other issues that you outlined. So far, so good.
-
For the final part, where can I find the nginx html file that I can edit. Thanks!
-
Hello Jay, I am looking forward for the LPI course. Would you please share when it will be a available? Thanks.
-
thanks for all you do, keep up the good work.

I have experienced the display resolution gnome crash too. It was quite confusing. I had to restart gnome entirely if I remember correctly. Pretty much made me pack up the distro right there. No way this is something that can be distributed publicly without the word beta next to it.
