Link: Why You Can't Currently Download Ubuntu 23.10 - OMG! Ubuntu

 

Today, Ubuntu 23.10 is available to download — or rather it was.

 

If you’re only just waking up/getting around to downloading Ubuntu 23.10 you’ll have noticed that you can’t actually download the main Ubuntu 23.10 desktop ISO from the Ubuntu website, despite the fact it has been released, and blogs like mine are telling you it’s out.

 

There is a reason for it — and no, it’s not because we all got the release date wrong!

 

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) Ubuntu explains the situation:

 

We have identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in some of our translations submitted as part of a third party tool outside of the Ubuntu Archive. The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.

Very interesting! When I read the title I thought it was going to be something about some new things they were adding... I definitely didn't expect delays from translations!
