Ubuntu 24.04 will hit the shelves today and according to OMGUbuntu
website there are major changes to look out for. He has listed some at
this link:

<https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/04/ubuntu-24-04-lts-20-changes-to-look-out-for>

The beta changes were these:

I suspect all the beta features have survived in the RTM version.

Good luck and post your views about this new release.

well, yeah, they do a release every half a year for all of them.
it's kinda easy to be active if you release something on a 6 month
schedule.

How much they actually change is I guess a bit up for debate. I remember
a few where besides cosmetic changes nothing obvious really changed. On
the other hand that's better for people who need a stable work
environment. (hint towards Microsoft...)

In reading the article above, seems the replaced a few apps, installer for one. At least revamped.
Sounds like it would be fun to dump into a VM and play with, just to get the feel in my case.

It always is fun playing with a new distro. I'd use Xubuntu, had a lot
of success with that on various computers overtime. Really nice and
sleek system.

They're all the same distro just with different pre-configurations

Now that I've been using 24.04 for a week or so, I see nothing different
from 22.04 other than when I check for updates, at least I am no longer
urged to switch to Pro.

I made a partition and added it to my boot. I looked at that first web page of 20 new things, a
good amount I don't use, might but don't. I suppose this is all in the YMMV scenario. The One
Drive access might be nice.

Im going to stick mainly with Ubuntu.
I'm always popping the HD into newer mobos and 100% of the time, the OS
has just booted up smoothly and worked.

My Mint 20.3 will not boot on any H/W other than that where it was
originally installed.

Yes, unfortunately the concept op Plug andd Play is still unknown to
Mint/Linux. Try changing a video card just for fun...

I mean, how hard can it be:

"Hey, I see some new stuff in your pc. Do you want me to forget the old
stuff and set up the new thing?"

Windows can do it, so why can't Mint/Linux...
