Canonical releases Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS builds on the advancements of the last three interim releases as well as the contributions of open source developers from around the world to ensure a secure, optimised and forward looking platform. “Ubuntu 24.04 LTS takes a bold step into performance engineering and confidential computing to deliver an enterprise-grade innovation platform, supported for at least 12 years”, said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical.
