I have understood this too - 24.04.1 will be issued on the 15th of August.
However.....

At some point, I had simply too many complications. More about them in this
bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2063952

That's why, I decided to try a fresh install of 24.04 LTS, as it is
available now. I did manage to do af after a bit of tweaking, trial and
error. More about that I gonna share in another post.

Waiting till the autumn was no option for me, because I simply had too many
complications. More about this I have shared in this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2063952

After a bit of tweaking, trial and error, I did manage to get a fresh
installation Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. In other posts, I'll share more about this.
Now, I am configuring that configuration with the right packages, language
modules, etc.

The most important issue so far is the impossibility so far to get WIFI
enabled.
More about this I share in this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2063952

In another post at this forum, I'll share more about it.

Thanks for the help of all of you so far.

Yours.

Bas.
