From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I installed ubuntu 24.04 over my previous installation of 23.10 and had literally 0 issues, so I’m going to classify this as user error.
First attempt at the Server iso it wouldn’t boot, stuck in an endless wait for some snap services to start. I don’t use Ubuntu anyway and wouldn’t use Server before a .1, but it was not the best out of box experience.

imagine relying on a technology made by the company best known in the tech industry for abandoning even extremely successful products
consult the Google Graveyard for your next tech stack!
There is some good stuff in there
I will never forgive them for murdering Inbox.
Or Picasa
I hated Picasa, but I know that was because it was anathema for my needs. For most people it was great, and I never understood how they failed to monetize such a successful product.
sounds reasonable to me /s
The creator wrote in a pinned comment that they had a bad boot media. No idea what you guys are arguing about.
They just want to hate Ubuntu without facts

Endeavor’s problem is a Calamares problem in specific.
Pro tip: use an external partition editor before the install. For endeavor, this used to be gparted, but is now partitionmanager. (It even comes with the ISO!)

I tried to install Windows 10 about two years ago as a dual boot option. The selection on which disk to install it on always failed with some obscure error. Turns out the installer couldn’t handle multiple disks being available so I had to unplug every disk except the soon-to-be Windows 10 disk…whereas the openSuse installer was able to setup a pretty complicated RAID+encryption setup easily.
Every install, clear ALL partitions on the drive, THEN run the installer. Be happy.
But I like to use Btrfs on top of LUKS and more often than not it’s not an option.
Can’t comment to that, I keep my home folder on a secondary drive, and just nuke the system drive when I distro hop.

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on my grandma’s computer and her printer suddenly started printing human anuses
I have a fix, use Debian.
Can confirm. I recently ditched Ubuntu after more than a decade of increasing bloat, bugs, snaps, etc. Debian has been a breath of fresh air.
This was because of a faulty boot media
I’m not sticking up for this release, but you’re just bad at puters, brah. Get gud.
Just retry, eventually it is going to install, beautiful
