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.

The first Ubuntu 24.04 point release won’t be released this week, as initially planned.

Ubuntu developers had been aiming to release Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS on Thursday, August 19th, but has been delayed due to ‘high-impact upgrade bugs’.

As a result, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS is now due for release on Thursday, August 29th, two weeks later than initially planned.

I remember when the .04 meant the 4th month in the year...

24.04 was released in April, as usual. Here we're talking about 24.04.1, which could be seen as a "Service Pack" as it includes every patches released since then.

I think the "upgrade bugs" mentioned in the article are bugs happening when upgrading from previous LTS versions of Ubuntu, as usually the . 1 release is the first one to be suggested for upgrade to these installs.

I just spent the weekend installing 24.04 on a Lenovo laptop as a self-hosted server. The only thing that didn't work was the fingerprint scanner. No big deal, but it seems peripheral device driver support is still a bit janky.

Running the self-hosted apps under Docker, though, worked without a hitch. chef's kiss
