Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) Beta has released, which includes flavors too…
https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2024/09/21/ubuntu-24-10-oracular-oriole-beta-released/
Ubuntu 24.10, codenamed “Oracular Oriole”, continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.
This Beta release includes images from not only the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, and Cloud products, but also the Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Cinnamon, UbuntuKylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu Unity, and Xubuntu flavours.
The Beta images are known to be reasonably free of showstopper image build or installer bugs, while representing a very recent snapshot of 24.10 that should be representative of the features intended to ship with the final release expected on October 10th, 2024.
Some ‘flavors’ may have their official ‘beta’ image available in a few days, as mentioned in the announcement towards the bottom
Ubuntu Cinnamon, Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu Unity are still in the process of completing their fixes and testing, and might follow up on Monday.
Lubuntu 24.10 beta is ready for testing NOW, so please download (or zsync) an ISO and give it a spin… reporting any bugs/problems you find.
If you are unsure how to file a bug report but just want to make the issue known, that is okay, please either make a post on our Discourse instance or join our Development channel on Matrix. Any help is appreciated, and your one post or message will make a difference for many users.
