Now that I've upgraded to 24.04, I've tested pretty much everything out
and it's working quite well. There is one minor bug however.
I've tried three different burning apps and though I can easily "burn"
an iso to USB stick,no option is present for burning to DVD.
Yes,I can write files to it, so it works. Yes, I know, DVD's are going the way of floppies but still I'm curious why the option to do this was removed.

For writing it on a USB device, simply use BalenaEtcher or the CLI tool
dd.
For burning it to an optical disk, you need a burning program like
Xfburn.

Use the lower-left corner of the Desktop in Ubuntu, to "launch synaptic by name".
In the Synaptic Search box, type the word "burn" without the double quotes:
brasero # CD/DVD burning application for GNOME
k3b # burning application (pulls in some bits of KDE)
xfburn # burning application (related to xfce DE)
I've used k3b before and found it good. Takes several minutes to unpack
all the KDE dependencies (on a processor that draws up to 156W).

This wasn't a cheap shot at you.
I wanted to document what the experience is like for
the Year of the Linux Desktop. That's the amount of
work you have to do, to make it useful. To bootstrap
that Windows user who is "sick of Recall".
You need a dual layer DVD for the Ubuntu 24.04 ISO :-)

The option to burn to DVD is greyed out.

What are the permissions for the DVD drive?
Look for sr0 in /dev.
