should I upgrade from 23.04 to 23.10 now or wait for EOL? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Basically the headline. I‘ve been told by a colleague to not upgrade ubuntu immediately but wait for a couple months for bugixes and such. Is that correct?

I‘m currently on 23.04.

I recommend to upgrade as 23.04 is not a LTS (Long Term Support) release and has only security updates until 20 January 2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history

Thanks but that wasn’t the question. I know I have to upgrade. The question was, should I upgrade now or wait for end of life of 23.04?

Why are you upgrading? Are you after a specific feature? Are you aware of any security vulnerabilities not addressed?

Is there anything you want from the new version now that’s worth the risk of finding some bugs?

Sometimes you just wanna upgrade, because it’s fun.

Though if you must have stability because you need the machine to just work because it’s the only one you have for work/school, I’d say wait till closer to EOL.

There’s not really anything I‘ve been waiting for impatiently so I guess there is no need to rush it.

It’s not the „only“ machine I can use for work but it would definitely disrupt things if it wasn’t working.

Thanks. I‘ll keep your words in mind and wait a bit longer.
