I've updated my ansible-dev-pc¹ repository to support the recently released Ubuntu 24.04 (hence my discussion on getting .NET to behave). This supports Desktop Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Pop!_OS 22.04, and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 in WSL 2.

I'm still waiting for Pop!_OS 24.04 to be released so I can verify it there as well.

I have a program in #Ubuntu24! And no doubt many other distros downstream of Debian. I installed it yesterday with:

sudo apt install safe-vdash

#vdash is very niche, a #tui dashboard for those running #Autonomi nodes but already has an enthusiastic band of users. So this is great news.

My thanks go out to Jonas and all the volunteer packagers and maintainers in the #Linux ecosystem.

I'm skeptical of the new tight integration of .NET to Ubuntu 24.04. I noticed two things immediately:

• I don't have access to .NET 6 at all
• I don't have access to the latest .NET 8 SDK any more (currently 8.0.104, despite latest being 8.0.204).

I assumed using the Microsoft apt feed would allow me to use newer even if Ubuntu's feeds were older, but... not so much.

If .NET 6 is still supported, why isn't it on Ubuntu 24.04? And why are we being held back?
