Basically the headline. I‘ve been told by a colleague to not upgrade ubuntu immediately but wait for a couple months for bugixes and such. Is that correct?

I‘m currently on 23.04.

    It’s generally a good idea to wait a bit. That way you let early adopters discover and report any problems the developers missed and give the devs time to patch them. You then get the benefit of their testing and should end up with a more stable system when you eventually do upgrade.

    There is also a very small chance that someone will find a major issue that could break the update in a non-recoverable way. If you wait, that person is much less likely to be you.

      Thanks for your answer! I‘ll definitely wait a bit after reading the comments here. It totally makes sense now. I figured, as you update drivers for your gpu regularly or your apps, updating the OS sooner would make sense but yes, some things might be breaking with a big build like this. Have a good one. :)

      Good point. I’d also suggest to op that they keep their home directory on a separate volume and keep a run book of the changes they make to their system.

      Thanks but that wasn’t the question. I know I have to upgrade. The question was, should I upgrade now or wait for end of life of 23.04?

        I’d wait a bit. It seems like a lot of new tech was introduced in 23.10 so maybe let a couple revisions to be released before making an update.
