Hi Pavel,

Ubuntu 23.10 is still under development so I recommend you talk to the
people on the development mailing list -
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-devel-discuss

Beta releases are not expected to be run in production environments and are
known to have issues that users of the production environment are unlikely
to be aware of.

Regards,
