On vacation for over a week…
Lots of bug triage and user support in Launchpad and upstreams. Backlog stats are here. No significant issues have arisen in 23.10 since the ISO was re-released.
Proposed a new patch to prevent gnome-shell getting SIGKILLed on Ryzen. Then dropped it since 45.1 has a proper fix.
Completed an audit of recent ISOs and found a couple of things we can improve (1, 2).
Planning for 24.04.
Work in progress gathering more measurements for the Nvidia secondary GPU fix.
