The two big releases of the year are here; Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Fedora 40. I deferred sending the newsletter by a day so that I could provide you with all the coverage.
Although, Ubuntu 24.04 comes with several new features and changes, I am unhappy with a change they introduced. I shared my frustration in this article.

And we have covered the release of various official flavors, too:
- Lubuntu 24.04 release and features
- Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 release and features
- Ubuntu Studio 24.04 release and features
If you discard my earlier rant, it's a decent new release.

We are also working on 'things to do after installing Ubuntu 24.04' article and Ubuntu 24.04 installation video. Stay tuned for that.
🌷 Fedora 40

🧠 What we’re thinking about
Print magazines seem to be a relic of the past. There used to be several dedicated Linux magazines in the late 90s and early 2000s. Linux Voice, Linux Journal are some of the names I can recall.
Surprisingly, there are still a couple of Linux magazines that remain in print even in 2024. Pleasant surprise, actually. Linux Magazine is one of those rare few. Do check it out if you still prefer keeping books in your hand rather than on your screen.

💡 Quick handy tip
Remove duplicate lines in a file and then sort it using the Gedit text editor.
With the file open, first click on the menu button and then select Tools ➝ Sort. On the small dialog box, check the “Remove duplicates” box and then click on Sort.
You can see the duplicate lines are removed, and the file is sorted. Save to make the changes permanent, or use CTRL + Z to undo the change.
🤣 Meme of the week
Even though I have a few workstations with Arch and NixOS installed, Ubuntu is the one I always rely on to get work done.
🗓️ Tech Trivia
On April 23, 2005, the first-ever YouTube video "Me at the zoo" was uploaded by its founder Jawed. Just one and a half years later, Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion.
