    The whole 'we can't update apps because the app center is open and locked' bug has been around for years now. It's why I run all my updates from the terminal first, reboot if necessary, then open app center and check for anything missed. It's so stupid.

    It's much better in 24.04 because the new App Center is only running when you actually have it open, unlike Gnome Software which is always running in the background. So the new App Center will upgrade just fine when snapd checks for updates every 6 hours.

    There's that and I've also had an issue with firefox snap not being able to update on every config I've tried. As you said, right after install, i do the norm apt upd && apt upg then I do a snap refresh in terminal before even considering anything else. This seem to prevent the issue, and as @that_leaflet mentioned, once that initial refresh and update is done, everything runs just fine. Turned out to be beneficial to me in ways, being relatively new to Linux. A shitton of trial and error, and a mentally unhealthy desire to figure it out myself made a lot of the information I've absorbed over the past year or so really stick.

    thanks for that additional information. its really useful. but that still makes it an ubuntu problem. Ubuntu is using gnome which is fair, but they are releasing ubuntu, not gnome. If our car breaks down, we don't blame the component that broke down but the company for releasing an unreliable model. Ubuntu can use gnome for free but they have to take criticism on their behalf because I'm not using gnome, I'm using Ubuntu. I didn't install gnome, I don't know gnome. I know ubuntu and I installed it and it's broken. This is for Ubuntu, I'm not blaming you of course and the information you provided is insightful but I just wanted to add this.

    From the perception of the great majority of Ubuntu users the release cycle is every two years, not every six months. Even though I rarely use the intermediate releases myself I’m very happy they exist - it gives plenty of opportunity for testing new features, and must be very important for developers in particular.

    same. also the idea of rushing for releases doesn't make sense. why would they rush? they can release it in the next cycle. it would apply more towards releasing every 2 years than every 6 months. Every 6 months takes the pressure off and having an LTS release version completely takes the pressure off. It also helps to push Ubuntu to improve and develop further, otherwise I can easily see them not doing much for 3/4s of that 2 year and eventually questioning why they have resources dedicated to it anyway. I mean, from my perspective, they have barely done anything in the last 4 years anyway. Actually I think for a lot longer than that. I also don't see them doing much for the next 2 years. They don't have an interest in it and their business model doesn't depend on changes done to ubuntu but rather changes not done to ubuntu. Or the changes done that don't apply to non-enterprise customers being completed while all others ignored pretty much.

I should not have to go to terminal to refresh snap-store everytime I want to update my system in 2024. This is just not acceptable.

I checked system monitor and saw the processors were going pretty good so I assumed it was still going. When they flatlined, I rebooted the system. I booted it up fine into 24.04 after I had to choose which grub. It didn’t boot up to the 24.04 grub. I have a multi boot PC. I totally agree with you on the yearly schedule change. Every other year remaining LTS.

    you have a valid point about the LTS releases targeting enterprise use, but the thing is, no LTS or even regular releases are allowed to be upgraded until the .1 release is out, and by then, usually the initial big bugs are sorted. you can of course download the release for new installs or whatever, but i also do an upgrade and they've never failed.

    Maybe Ubuntu could put out stable releases if they stopped imposing Snaps on us. No one would argue if they had spent that effort making Synaptic prettier. I'll probably keep my Kubuntu 23.10 around until 24.10 when they'll finally include Plasma 6. At the very least I'll wait until 24.04.1. But what I'm really waiting for is Mint LMDE with Plasma 6.

  • @UltraZelda64

    The solution if you don't trust Ubuntu releases on or near release date: Don't install or attempt to use them anytime close to that date. Wait a month or two; hell, even five or six months if you're really paranoid. You could even wait until they release a 24.04.1 image with the first batch of updates and bug fixes built right into the image. With a lifespan of five years, they are in no way forcing you to update any time soon. You could even wait, what, another three years or so for support of 22.04 (which is currently at 22.04.4) to end if you really wanted to, or skip 24.04 entirely and install 26.04 in a few years. Fedora does not give you this kind of flexibility, and I can say that I have seen a release (somewhere in the mid 30s) of that distro that contained more crashes, bugs and problems in general than I've seen in any OS over the last two decades outside of ReactOS. It didn't just run poorly live on my actual hardware--it even failed within the relatively safe confines of a virtual machine, and installing it in that machine did not lead to a better system.

    In fact I switched from Fedora to Ubuntu because Fedora had a myriad of very little problems that didn't seem to get any attention but were annoying beyond belief, while Ubuntu might not be the most polished distro on release, but they'll usually try to fix those little bugs that harm the end user experience. And the LTS release is perfect for this. I'd say 22.04 wasn't really great up until a full year after it was released, but it eventually got to that point and there was never any rush to upgrade, so that works for me.

    They should switch the DE to Plasma. I had been using Gnome for about 4 years because I wanted to use Wayland and Plasma was not stable with it. With Plasma 6, it's reasonably stable (occasionality the shell crashes, but that doesn't affect running apps, so it's not a big deal) and solved so many problems I had with Gnome. For beginners who are accustomed to Windows, Plasma should be more familiar than Gnome is. Since Ubuntu is sort of the beginner Linux, it should be Plasma.

Looks like I'll wait a bit longer till they iron out the kinks (and actually send an update notification; I haven't seen one yet). I upgraded my Fedora KDE spin from 39 to 40 today and haven't run into any major bugs there. Only thing I've found till now is that if I have multiple browsers open and don't play audio for 10-20 minutes, my bluetooth headset picks the last browser that played any sound and ignores all of the others. I need to disconnect and reconnect again. For that to be the only "bug" I ran into was surprising to me, but then again, upgrades from 36 onwards have never given me any major grief.

    The frequent releases doesn't have so much to do with users, but is more about the developer community. It reduces the difference between releases. Gnome is a very small part of Ubuntu and there are an enormous number of packages that fits together. Most people should not be on the cutting edge, because it always has a lot of sharp corners. A lot could be improved by simply changing the way they communicate with the public, because a big part of the problem is that users expectations are wrong. In reality, the polishing begins when a new version is out. There's nothing wrong with that approach as long as users don't think otherwise.

    What i love about Ubuntu is that if, god forbid your device gets corrupted or damaged (at least in my case) you can install Ubuntu via OEM which isnt something thats available for most distros, and it can extend the life of some devices!

    On the one hand I appreciate Ubuntu LTS releases having a relatively set cadence. My "day job" is doing primarily internal tools development... For my purposes its useful to know exactly when I'll have a new OS to be targeting/testing/rolling out. In terms of "in between" releases - Don't use them, don't care if/when they're released. As a server, having run Nobel in testing the last few months, I haven't had any particular issues. Should the bugs you noticed, in particular the updater bug, have been dealt with pre-release? Sure - Especially if its a simple fix only needing an extra few days. The resolution bug strikes me as less serious - Its a good candidate for a .1 update which is likely closer to when businesses might start doing some initial rollouts anyway. Even in my case, and having not seen bugs with my tooling, I don't expect to put 24.04 into production use until the summer/early fall.

    The lack of KDE Plasma 6 on Kubuntu / Ubuntu Studio until October is a huge miss imo. That's one of the reasons I use a rolling release and why I think true point releases are dead outside of enterprise use cases, at least for the desktop environments.

    I am running 24 in a VM in Proxmox. (I am a newbie with Linux and Proxmox). Opens OK but I have the cursor for my Windows 11 (using to open and use the VM) and another small cursor that looks like the one for Umbutu 24.. They move around together, and occasionally on the home page of 24 the cursors begin blotting out a line as they move across the screen. You can completely delete/cover up any open app screen with the maroon color of the desktop, as if you were blotting out a picture using a photo processing application. Weird and makes this almost useless as I have to close and open the VM again....and start over.

    I did had a same issues like that. Luckily, they can give this a point release just to fix the issues that is needed unlike a previous LTS (22.04) had a first point release that managed to fix the installer issues for NVIDIA users. Hopefully, they'll might fix the 4K or 8K issues about fractional scaled set to 200% by default like my iMac (2017 21.5 inch), if I tried that version on my iMac, small loading screen at second then upscaled it to 200% automatically to be a default. Yes, even I tried back in 23.04 (Lunar Lobster), same thing happen. However, my iMac's speaker won't work with Ubuntu but macOS, I'm not saying I'm switching back to macOS because it's trusted, I know apple ruined the trust due to claiming this "8GB ram is a same thing as 16GB ram (misleading claim)" Time keeps flying just to waste their time, very delightful to say is not their fault, but it's a timer's fault.

I love the software suites and repo's available to Mint and Ubuntu -- but they're just not worth the pain of the environments, and they can be dropped and keyed into APT anyway, during or after an install.
