Ubuntu 24.04 Beta Now Available For Testing


The Ubuntu 24.04 beta release is now available for testing ahead of the official release later this month for this new Long Term Support release of Ubuntu Linux.

Ubuntu 24.04 beta is coming one week late due to package rebuilds following the XZ security fiasco. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is shaping up well with many installer improvements, powered by the Linux 6.8 kernel, the GNOME 46 desktop is the default with the latest Wayland enhancements, the fresh Mesa 24.0 open-source graphics driver support, the GCC 13 compiler is the default system compiler, and many other useful updates. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
