I'm not surprised by this at all. I tried 24.04 and found it lacked what attracted me to 22.04. It had some great new features, but overall the 22.04 experience is better. I'll keep trying it though, still early days.

    Now I'm curious, can you be more specific?

    The experience of 24.04 feels incomplete and lacking when compared to the well established desktop of 22.04 with their fantastic UX modifications. I don't recall thinking, I wish 22.04 could do this or that. The 24.04 experience had me wishing for customisation features that don't exist (last tried two weeks ago).

    As an example, I love the 22.04 theming, wouldn't change a thing. In 24.04, I appreciate that I can set rounded, semi-round or square corners, but I don't want that applied everywhere. I want my toggle switches rounded and window corners semi-round, like 22.04. I think it just comes down to theming customisations really. I couldn't increase mouse pointer size either. They all feel like things that can and will probably be fixed/added in future, or by a Cosmic Tweaks type app. I'm not ready to accept it in the current form. Turning my back on the best experience in 22.04 to an unsatisfactory experience is what will keep me on 22.04 for the foreseeable future.

    It feels like I've enjoyed Coke for years and now somebody is trying to convince me Coke Zero is better. Less sugar is obviously better, but it doesn't taste the same, it's not Coke.

    Does ubuntu not support other desktops? I had little annoyances like that with fedora cinnamon, not quite enough to make me miss windows but enough that I'd notice them and wish I could adjust them, also I eventually learned that it was a desktop environment that heavily relied on some form of javascript, which likely explained why it sometimes couldn't keep up with mouse updates. But then I tried KDE and it addressed all of my issues, plus some others that I didn't even realize until I saw a better implementation, plus it's able to maintain that realtime responsiveness cinnamon struggled with (and my machine is far low end).

    It's been a while since I used Ubuntu, and even then, it was just for school so I only really needed the terminal and didn't care what the GUI was doing as long as it didn't interfere with that.

    Hope they update those to your liking soon in any case.
