lsb_release just reports whatever is in {/etc,/usr/lib}/os-release.

The issue here is that the base-files package for Ubuntu Noble Desktop for Raspberry PI has not been updated to 24.04.

The update of the Ubuntu-preview in Microsoft store just arrived and now all is well and lsb_release shows 24.04 as should be.

Sorry for any confusion.
