    Just downloaded Xubuntu 22.04 myself this morning.
    You can check Distrowatch.com for complete announcements.

    Ive been trying to find distros that will boot from an ISO using EasyBCD and not having much luck besides Slitaz... would any of the Ubuntu spinoffs be worth trying?

    Today notification of internal upgrade to version 22.04 LTS.
    Successfully updated.
    Firefox (Snap) startup is as expected very slow.

    Firefox (snap) startup on Debian is slow after every update. Next startup is normal, I think. I don't know whether it is related to Firefox doing some stuff in background after version change or Snap.

    Yeah, I just leave firefox open anyway, so the whole issue is an extra second or two at the beginning of a session. I wish I managed my time well enough to justify complaining about two seconds.

    Since I'm now retired, I think I can spare the extra few seconds. Not to mention that all my computers are "obsolete" so I'm quite used to hearing the Jeopardy jingle going off in my head waiting on stuff to start.

    fuse has been demoted from Ubuntu main in favor of fuse3.
    libfuse2-dependent AppImages won't run on Ubuntu 22.04.
    libfuse2 is not going to be brought back into the default install.
    Currently, users who want to use libfuse2-dependent AppImages will need to install this library themselves.

    Edit:
    The issue was discussed here:
    https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1120
    Discussion continues at:
    https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/877

    In addition to what I posted on May 10 (too late to edit),

    In mentioned thread https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1120
    was commented: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1120#issuecomment-1130340370

    "Only Ubuntu could do a short-term fix, namely, install libfuse2 by default. Some Ubuntu derivatives are already doing it (those with "Fix Released" on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ source/ubuntu-meta/ bug/1965636). I recommend to use those Ubuntu derivatives for now because I doubt Ubuntu is going do do it (they value their distribution policies higher than ease-of-use for existing AppImages)."

    In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ source/ubuntu-meta/ bug/1965636,
    ubuntu-meta Jammy is mentioned as 'Won't Fix'
    kubuntu-meta Jammy 'Fix Released'
    ubuntu-budgie-meta Jammy 'Fix Released'
    ubuntustudio-meta Jammy 'Fix Released'
    xubuntu-meta Jammy 'Fix Released'
    lubuntu-meta Jammy 'Confirmed' [not yet fixed]
    ubuntukylin-meta Jammy 'Confirmed' [not yet fixed]
