Nah, if you’re on LTS, the recommended upgrade is at XX.04.1, which typically comes around July. And 22.04 doesn’t go end of life until April of 2027, so there’s no mad rush to upgrade if you’re happy.
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 come up with one. 😂
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.
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? It doesn’t seem to me that there is, but I’m worried missing something.

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
