Ubuntu 24.10 is available to download and install from the official website. It ships with the Linux 6.11 kernel and the latest GNOME 47 desktop enviroment. This version switches to Wayland by default for hardware with NVIDIA graphics, matching the previous Xorg transition for Intel and AMD graphics users, and uses the open-source NVIDIA 560 kernel modules by default on supported hardware. The kernel also has kdump-tools, which enables kernel crash dumps by default. This helps streamline troubleshooting by automatically capturing critical data after a crash.

Canonical also said in its blog post, “For gamers, significant improvements have also been made to the compatibility of the Steam snap, with an expanded permissions model and improved NVIDIA driver support. The Steam snap also bundles gaming-specific Mesa PPAs to deliver optimized performance out of the box when combined with the low latency settings enabled in the latest kernel.”

Updates are also visible in the Ubuntu Dock, which better handles Progressive Web Applications. The OpenJDK 21 and OpenJDK 17 packages in Ubuntu have also changed and are now TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) certified on amd64, arm64, s390x, ppc64el, and armhf. Passing the TCK tests means the OpenJDK packages for version 17 and version 21 on Ubuntu are compliant with the Java SE specification for their corresponding versions.

    I didn’t say it was tantamount to rape. Don’t try to make out that I’m saying anything like that. You know I’m not. Stop the absurdity.

    sigh I love a good old internet “I didn’t say that - yes you did - no I said <blank> - you really meant <blank> though” bullshit argument…

    I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”. Settle down. I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.

    Now show me on the doll where snap touched you…

      ESL or just pretending like you don’t know those are the same thing?

      I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.

      Theyre literally just using the words to describe what is happening, why are you being weird about it?

      Getting hardcore incel vibes from your attitude, might wanna work on that

        I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean even though that person clearly indicates it’s not what they mean. Like you know better what’s in my mind.

        You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now. No point discussing anything.

          You used words that mean something. If your half baked mind has invented new meanings for the word that’s on you, not me

          You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now

          I never wasn’t

          No point discussing anything.

          You’d have to be coherent for that first

      You literally said “like it’s rape”

      Like: similar to; the same as

      Tantamount: being almost the same as something, usually something bad.

      So yes, you were definitely putting words in my mouth that snaps installing when the user goes to install a .deb is tantamount to raping someone.

      Clearly an attempt at discrediting my completely reasonable complaint with one of the most absurd false equivalences I’ve ever heard in my life.
