To be pedantic, you can’t upgrade to a new LTS the moment it releases (unless you force it). It’s offered to users running the old LTS after 6 months IIRC. It’s possible to start with 24.04 from scratch, but you can’t upgrade for a while.
If you don’t already see a reason, you probably don’t have one, especially for a server. Especially if you sign up for the Ubuntu Pro free tier, you have 10 years to upgrade. 😂
I’m running 22.04.4 Server with kernel 6.5.0-27 and everything is rock solid.
Any reason I should upgrade when stable 24.04 releases?
Nah, if you’re on LTS, the recommended upgrade is at XX.04.1, which typically comes around July.
Insightful. Your comment made me smile :)

Ah right. I didn’t know that - thank you. Only really got into self hosting in the last couple of year.

Maybe the newer kernel? But if you don’t think you need it you’re probably fine tbh
