As a very well-known Linux distribution, Ubuntu has released its latest long-term support version: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (codenamed “Noble Numbat”), which includes desktop and server versions, and is currently available for download. @app
Here are some key points about this new version:
[New Features]: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS brings a series of new features, including an improved user interface and a default minimal installation.
[Subiquity Installer]: The Subiquity installer is introduced for the first time in the LTS version, which supports experimental ZFS and TPM-based full disk encryption, as well as the ability to import automatic installation configurations.
[Performance Improvement]: Ubuntu now enables frame pointers by default on 64-bit architecture to support CPU and non-CPU performance analysis. The Linux 6.8 kernel has the low-latency feature enabled by default.
[IoT Support]: For IoT vendors using 32-bit ARM hardware, Ubuntu's armhf build has been updated to address the upcoming year 2038 issue by implementing 64-bit time_t in all necessary packages.
[Toolchain Update]: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS supports the latest toolchain version, including full support for .NET 8, and TCK certification for OpenJDK 21 and 17.
[Rust Support]: Provides Rust version 1.75 and simplifies the Rust tool chain snap framework so that future versions of Rust can be delivered to developers.
[Other versions]: In addition to the standard Ubuntu desktop and server versions, there are also multiple official flavor versions released on the same day, including Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Cinnamon, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Unity and Xubuntu.
[Support Period]: Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud and Ubuntu Core will provide maintenance updates for 5 years. Others will receive support for 3 years. Additional security support is also available through ESM (Extended Security Maintenance).
As a Server user rather than a Desktop user, Qingxiaowa still likes the LTS version very much. If you need to install Ubuntu now, feel free to choose 24.04 LTS. At least 5 years of standard security maintenance can ensure that you do not need to reinstall the system for a long time, and throughout the 10-year maintenance cycle, basically the hardware can be eliminated.
Of course, I still have to complain. Ubuntu prompts users to restart too frequently. It prompts users basically every week. System restart required
