So how many packages were actually different after being recompiled?

"ubuntu discourse" does not work, it just animates some circles on the screen. Is there an actual static web page to link to instead of that crap?

edit: this should probably be equivalent to beta: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20240410.2/

I wonder how many of the explicit sync patches will land in 24.04

Gnome's and KDE's won't make it. Hell, Kubuntu will still be on 5.27. Although no doubt more updated versions will be available on the backports PPA

yes the "discourse" page is up now. But clicking on the download link results in not found.

How can ubuntu be this bad?

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 (development) and I like it a lot, it is really nice. But I wish it was possible to fully remove X.Org Server and XWayland so I can have a purely Wayland system.
