As planned on October 12, Ubuntu 23.10 has been released<\/a> under the codename “Mantic Minotaur”<\/em> and is ready for download<\/a>. Supported for nine months, this is the last interim version before the release of the next longterm stable (LTS) version 24.04 in April 2024. Traditionally, such a release offers developers the opportunity to roll out all those features that are to have reached their absolute maturity in LTS rollout. So, the ZFS file system makes a comeback in the desktop installer aleady introduced in Ubuntu 23.04 – but still without encryption, which will be added in the LTS version. By default, the installer no longer fetches the full software package, meaning that, for example, a heavyweight like Libre Office is missing. Of course, you can install it yourself – or check the box for the extended installation, in which case the large collection is installed as in earlier releases.<\/p>\n

The new App Center, programmed in Flutter like the installer, premieres as a replacement for the lame “Ubuntu Software” application. With this, Ubuntu manufacturer Canonical primarily wants to make finding and installing Snaps, the in-house app format, more attractive. Flatpacks are not supported in the new App Center. Firmware updates, previously a job of Ubuntu software, are now the responsibility of a separate application. The developers decided on this for performance reasons.<\/p>\n

With Gnome 45<\/a> released just two weeks earlier, Ubuntu brings a particularly fresh desktop this time around. For people who don’t like Gnome, however, there are no fewer then ten Ubuntu “flavors”<\/a> available, showcasing the desktops KDE, Xfce, LxQT, Cinnamon, Budgie, Mate and Unity.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, Ubuntu 23.10 delights with a brand new, stable Linux 6.5<\/a> kernel, and the NetworkManager now uses Canonical’s server-derived Netplan tool as its default backend. Still marked as “experimental” is the possibility to perform full<\/em> disk encryption on computers with Trusted Platform Module (<\/em>TPM 2), which uses a “secret<\/em>” stored in the TPM instead of a passphrase. The boot process is then controlled via the Snapd service. Details can be found in a post on the official Ubuntu blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the way, the release of Ubuntu 23.10 did not go as smoothly as usual. The live CD images of Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Budgie were temporarily withdrawn and corrected<\/a> after it became known that someone had put hate speech in the Ukrainian translation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
