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.

Download Ubuntu 24.04

Instant error mesage on boot

APT keyrings are wrong

Need to add old 22.04 to lists to install packages

No CUDAtools support for 24.04 yet

Yeah nah.

I don't know how many time it should be said.

If you want to go Linux, DO NOT GO FOR UBUNTU

It was a solid choice 10 years ago, but now it's a piece of headache.

Go Manjaro/EndeavourOS if you need ease of use and relatively bleeding-edge experience. Check Fedora if you want peace of mind. Check Mint once your tools appear in latest mainstream Ubuntu. Do not go for actual Ubuntu.

Using anything aside from Ubuntu is certified headaches when programming. Debian is the least volitile alternative.

If even 24.04 has missing packages when installing stuff compared to 22.04I can't imagine how bad it would get on an Arch derivative.
