From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I always forget. Can we do a release upgrade to this or do we have to wait until 24.04.1?

Edit: Nvm. You can update today

🙂 I've seen several people, during some years now, recommended to wait for .1

I would still recommend it. At least for production environments.

You can force one with the -D (development branch) flag, but otherwise it doesn’t get pushed until 24.04.1.

-d is required if you're on an lts until .1. If you're on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

You could even do it after the beta opened up. I tried on a fresh install of 22.04 and it broke.
