Thanks for the review, Mr Explains
Thanks for your review, Gary. I find Ubuntu based distros work on my old 2013 MBP. (I tried Fedora; but, every so often, an update breaks something since Fedora is based on the "latest and greatest".)
I've tried Ubuntu 22.04 on my MBP and found I kept having to deal with some incompatibilities or issues. Not so in 24.04. Ubuntu 24.04 on the MBP is really solid. No issues so far. I notice it runs a little hotter under load than before - I'm hoping some future updates and bug fixes will address that. Other than that, everything else works. I installed drivers for my FaceTime camera as well as mbpfan daemon. Response of the distro is snappy and I don't experience any lag. All in all, a very solid release and a much improved experience.
Could be the snap apps. Try Linux mint main edition. It should be cooler.
@@vasudevmenon2496misconception, snaps do not run less efficient than apt or flatpak. Only slightly slower load time
Great review mate. Love Ubuntu. Regards from Adelaide, South Australia. 👍🏼
Great Video, Looks like some good progress from Ubuntu and the RDP feature now part of the OS Release.
I noticed the change of the scheduler. Every Friday I update my VMs and that takes 2 to 3 hours, so I start my Windows XP VM to play the wma copies of my LPs and CDs to have some nice music, while working. Normally I had to increase the priority of the Win XP VM to ensure the smooth playing of my music and to avoid hick-ups. Running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I don't have to do it anymore. The music is playing smoothly even with CPU loads on the Host of ~100%, due to a large update of the Windows 10 VM. The scheduler notices that XP did not use much CPU time, so they directly get access to the CPU, when needed :) :)
I even had the impression, that the updates went smoother. In the past I did one VM at a time, because after a while I did not like to do stuff in parallel. Now I did run the large Windows update and in the same time I updated ~14 Linux systems and those Linux updates seemed more responsive than in the past :) :). Note that I run a Ryzen 3 2200G (4C4T; 3.7GHz), the 2nd slowest Ryzen ever.
Thanks. Time to upgrade then.
I installed 24.04 just so I can have a Plex Server on a 2011 Mac Mini, and I'm extremely impressed with how solid and smooth it works so far. Granted, though, I'm only using it as a media server, but it's still enjoyable to use.
Tried to add flatpak via terminal, installs software plugin+flatpak + flathubrepos. No success, flatpaks are not displayed. Did I miss something?
nice primer. just what I needed to know for upgrade consideration. question: isn't rdp for remote desktop insecure?
no it's not. what are you basing your statement on?
That Canonical video presentation of new Ubuntu is simply spectacular.
Installer is broken for me. The logs it asks me to check out for the errors are literally a black terminal window with nothing in it. This desktop previously had current Mint on it. 🤷🏻♂️
Can this be used to update the "Ubuntu on Windows" system?
With an LTS version, can you still upgrade it to non-LTS releases? I am new to Linux and am currently ripping this ISO to a USB drive.
Yes you can, but the "best" option is to follow the LTS upgrade path from one LTS version to the next. For example the recommended upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is to Ubuntu 24.04.1 (not the first 24.04 release, but the first minor release).
Typically you can update an LTS release to a 'point release' once. So, this one 24.04 LTS to 24.10. Once the 24.10 release support expires you will need to reinstall the system with the then latest new release.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will *release-upgrade* to a non-LTS from the next cycle (eg. 24.10), but if taken you'll need to *release-upgrade* through each release until you reach the next LTS (ie. 24.10, 25.04, 25.10 then 26.04 where you can decide to stay on LTS or every-cycle again). ##
More 3rd party software is created for LTS release. thus more users use LTS releases.
( ## technically (why i used 'next cycle in first paragraph), in time 24.04 LTS can release-upgrade to 25.04, then 24.04 to 25.10 etc.. is to latest non-LTS from next cycle; but once on non-LTS you need to go thru all releases until next LTS )
No UA-camr selected Manual partition during installation of 24.04
How to do a manual disk partition isn't part of a review of the distro, but a tutorial on how to do disk partitioning.
@@GaryExplainscan you please do a tutorial on that too especially for some who aren't matured in Linux and it's installation
I think Ubuntu 24.04 will be a perfect stand in until Pop OS 24.04 comes out, people say Ubuntu sucks because snaps but I have never had to install a snap over another package option however I am a more experienced user. The only downside to Ubuntu over Pop OS is that Ubuntu only allows you to have Nvidia Driver 535 through the gui driver manager. You can install the newer driver through terminal but I would like to see it ship with the latest Nvidia Driver officialy and to make snaps uninstallable easily. Pop 24.04 please come out this year, their new DE looks sick!
I don't know if anyone noticed the UA-cam promotion cards in the background and I've been trying to click it and after a minute realised it was just a background
Is the 24.04 stable now?
Broke my system when I forced an upgrade from 22.04 to this. Anyone who tries, keep this in mind.
I finally clean installed it. OneDrive file access using files not working. It crashes every time I try to access files. However, the files shared with me works fine!
Yes, well, upgrades aren't supported yet and can break things, that is why you had to "force" it to do the upgrade.
👍
okay now I want to install Ubuntu , 😅
Wow, it has the Earnest Edible Visual Deadman Fist.
Will you also do a review of the latest Fedora 40 release?
No, sorry. I refuse to support Red Hat in any way whatsoever.
@@GaryExplains Gary, using Fedora is not 'supporting' Red Hat. It's a community based release. But Canonical's operating system, with some of their practices - you're fully onboard?
@@jesse7631 I think you need to go back and look a bit deeper in the role that Fedora plays. The community is being used by Red Hat as free labor and free testers. Fedora feeds into RHEL. But Red Hat no longer publishes the source code for RHEL publicly. This is a direct quote from Red Hat's website, "The Fedora project is the upstream, community distro of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat is the project’s primary sponsor, but thousands of independent developers also contribute to the Fedora project. Each of these contributors, including Red Hat, bring their own new ideas to be tested and debated for inclusion by the larger community into Fedora Linux. This also makes Fedora an ideal place for Red Hat to put features through its own distinct set of tests and quality assurance processes, and those features eventually get incorporated into a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux." You onboard with that?
I feel this version 24.04 is slow to load, apps are slower to load and some like Google Chrome I cannot get to run at all. Compared to 22.04 which I felt was very good this latest release is a step backwards and I am considering moving to another distro.
Interesting, other comments here say the exact opposite!
Novice question. Gary is there a way to install it on an Android tablet ? And can you do a tutorial if it is possible. Thank you .

time to update my minecraft server.
One concern for me? Snaps! I have yet to be convinced of how secure and dependable some Snap apps will be. Otherwise, a great release.
So can you now install drivers, utilities and games without being a terminal guru?
That's been the case for years now the terminal is now a choice to us it
What is wrong with using terminal? It's powerful in Linux, Windows and MacOS
@@MrQuay03 Thanks for answering my question.
@@MrQuay03 Nothing is wrong. Especially when tweaking settings, the terminal is superior most of the times.
But you know normies...
snap and gnome it it the reason I try to avoid Ubuntu
I've just ordered a new laptop computer and I plan to install Ubuntu because I want to get away from microsoft windows. I truly resent microsoft practically forcing me to set up an account with them. I don't need it.
Unity all the way
