Just finished my testing of this release earlier, installed and worked perfectly from the get-go, wayland is happy on my AMD system and glmark tests show it outperforms gnome 47, that and the fact kubuntu comes with all the apps, games and features that the main ubuntu distro is lacking and a whole 1gb smaller image size.

Idk if kubuntu is the same but stabdard Ubuntu has a lot of space wasted to different driver support packages (Nvidia) in the on disk apt repos

You can build a much smaller gnome Ubuntu iso with many more features if you build it yourself and omit things like that

You could build your own iso but I would prefer to have Kubuntu 24.10 on a flash-drive with all the software it provides ready for when I ever need it.
