The latest version of the world's most popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu 21.10, codenamed 'Impish Indy', has landed on Canonical's download channels.

The 'Server' edition of Ubuntu 21.10 comes with 'needrestart' enabled by default, includes certified NVIDIA GPU drivers, and offers a 'minimal' installation option to accommodate IoT or container installations.

As open source becomes the new default, we aim to bring Ubuntu to all the corners of the enterprise and all the places developers want to innovate.

From the biggest public clouds to the tiniest devices, from DGX servers to Windows WSL workstations, open-source is the springboard for new ideas and Ubuntu makes that springboard safe, secure and consistent.

Along with the standard release of Ubuntu 21.10, derivative spins have also been made available, like for example the audio production-focused Ubuntu Studio, or the lightweight Lubuntu.

If Ubuntu is not your cup of tea, OpenBSD has also released version 7.0 today, with a long list of improvements and additions.
