    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Hours after the release of Ubuntu 23.10, Canonical has pulled the ISOs and is re-spinning them after user-submitted translations for the Ubuntu installer turned out to contain hate speech.

    Crowd-sourced user translations from a third-party tool that made their way into Ubuntu packages turned out to contain some (unspecified) hate speech.

    As a result, Ubuntu 23.10 images have been removed and Canonical is working to re-spin the ISOs with the translations corrected.

    Ubuntu tweeted out a short time ago for what amounts to an Ubuntu 23.10 recall: 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.

    These translations are being removed and an updated ISO will be available to download once we have replaced the offending material.

    So as of right now trying to download Ubuntu 23.10 is just being served for server installations and netboot tarballs.
