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 said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”

    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
