Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, April 20, Canonical today released the Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) operating system, a major update to its GNU / Linux distribution.

Ubuntu 23.04, known as "Lunar Lobster", comes with the latest Linux 6.2 kernel series and the recently released GNOME 44 desktop environment series. These two changes that bring many new features will encourage many Ubuntu users to upgrade their existing installations.

Another major change in Ubuntu version 23.04 is the installation of a new version for Ubuntu Desktop, which has been under development for several years and is written entirely in Google Flutter UI SDK. Although the functionality of the old installer is retained, the new installer lacks support for the new ZFS installation.

Users who want to deploy Ubuntu using the ZFS file system can still use older ISO images to do so. At the bottom, the new desktop installer takes advantage of the capabilities of the Ubuntu server installer Subiquity.

Ubuntu 23.04 "Lunar Lobster" also comes with three new official Ubuntu versions, Ubuntu Unity, Ubuntu Cinnamon and Edubuntu, as well as native Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Azure AD) support that allows Microsoft 365 Enterprise users to authenticate on the Ubuntu using Microsoft 365 or Azure credentials on the desktop.

Ubuntu 23.04 also improves the workflow of cross-platform development, adding new hardware support for a wide range of ARMhf, AArch64, RISC-V and s390x devices, adding private PPA support in debuginfod, and introducing a new minimum ISO image for relevant users to completely customize their Ubuntu installation.

Snap support has been improved in the Lunar Lobster version, including the new refresh awareness of Snap on Ubuntu desktops, pausing certain Snap automatic updates, a stable version of Steam snap for Linux gamers, and hardware-accelerated rendering of Firefox Snap for Raspberry Pi computers.

At the bottom, Ubuntu 23.04 comes with the latest tool chains, such as GCC 13 system compiler, Mesa 23 graphics stack, NetworkManager 1.42 network connection manager, PipeWire 0.3.65 multimedia framework, BlueZ 5.66 2 Bluetooth stack and systemd 252.5 initialization system.

The official Ubuntu version comes with an updated graphics environment, such as KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS for Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, Xfce 4.18 for Xubuntu, LXQt 1.2 for Lubuntu, Budgie 10.7 for Ubuntu Budgie, Unity 7.7 for Ubuntu Unity, Cinnamon 5.6 for Ubuntu Cinnamon and MATE 1.28 for Ubuntu MATE.
