However, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS offered only basic capability for these newer GPUs. Most of the necessary support had been back-ported in the earlier Ubuntu 24.04.2 release.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance experience on Ubuntu 24.04, users can now opt into the <em>Intel Graphics Preview<\/em>, which enables a comprehensive functionality within userspace packages crucial for AI, compute, and media stacks.
