MUO VIDEO OF THE DAY

SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT

The latest version of Ubuntu’s mainstream LTS release, version 24.04, will arrive in April 2024. If you’re an existing user, is it worth the upgrade? I’ll show you what’s new in this version and help you decide if it’s worth upgrading now, or later.

What’s New in Ubuntu 24.04?

If you’re a current Ubuntu user, the new version—”Noble Numbat”—will offer a reassuringly familiar desktop experience, with a few tweaks.

Ubuntu 24.04 will feature Gnome 46, but with some tweaks to the default interface to make it, well, more Ubuntu-ey. The Settings menu has been overhauled. You can quickly launch it from the upper-right corner of the screen. The Files app has also been updated with an improved search function.

Ubuntu’s own software store has also been updated for this version.

Should You Upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04?

With the new features in Ubuntu 24.04, you may be wondering whether it’s worth upgrading. The main points to consider are if you’re already an existing Ubuntu user or are just curious, and whether you’re willing to do a clean install.

If you want to try the very latest Ubuntu release, you can simply get an installation image and extract it to the media you want to install it from. Then run the installation program from the live media as you would any other Linux distribution.

You can do an in-place upgrade this way, but there are a couple of caveats. First, your existing settings might make things not work as expected. Second, there are often bugs in a brand-new OS release, including those from Ubuntu.

If you think that a new settings menu is compelling enough to install on the first day it’s officially available, or even obtain a daily pre-release build of Ubuntu, it’s better to do a clean installation of the operating system. (If you use a beta version of Ubuntu it’ll likely have bugs in it so you probably shouldn’t rely on it.)

The main disadvantage of this route is that you’ll lose all your files when you overwrite them, so you’ll have to archive them before you upgrade and then restore them after you’re done.

No matter which method you use to upgrade, you should back up your important files in case something goes wrong with the installation process.

If you don’t want to disrupt your existing files and you’re more patient, you can just sit tight until the first point release comes along a few months after the new version’s release. Ubuntu’s upgrade tool will only make 24.04 available to 22.04 users after 24.04.1 comes out anyway. This will give the development team enough time to presumably iron out any last-minute bugs that managed to inevitably slip out on release.

Older Ubuntu Releases Are Still an Option

New versions of operating systems ship with a few kinks that need to be worked out on release, and Ubuntu, despite being my favorite Linux distro, is no exception.

A lot of computer users seem to want to take an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” attitude toward OS upgrades for this reason. It’s likely why older versions of Windows still stick around, according to StatCounter.

Since LTS releases get a default five years of support, you have time to decide if the upgrade is worth it. With an Ubuntu Pro subscription, you get 12 years. The subscription is also free for personal use if you really want to use an OS for that long.

If you have an older machine, you might want to stick with an older release anyway, since this will be gentler on the hardware. You have to go to a special download page on the Ubuntu website. You’ll probably want a lightweight variation such as Xubuntu for this purpose.
