Canonical has announced the general availability of version 22.04 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, codenamed 'Jammy Jellyfish', which brings better hardware support and an improved security baseline.
Ubuntu is the world's most popular Linux distribution for consumers.
This is the first LTS release where the entire Raspberry Pi device portfolio is supported, building upon the work that started back in Ubuntu 20.10, a release dedicated to the popular single-board computers.
Ubuntu comes available in Desktop, Server, Cloud, and IoT editions.
Ubuntu offers the so-called "Flavors", essentially the same OS base with a different desktop environment, suitable for those who don't like the default GNOME Shell.
Kubuntu uses the options-rich KDE with the Plasma desktop, Xubuntu has the lightweight Xfce environment, and Ubuntu Studio comes pre-loaded with a set of media production tools.
