Development of Ubuntu 22.04 is underway. The release is scheduled for April 2022. What should we expect from this release?

The code name for Ubuntu 22.04 is ubuntu jammy Jellyfish which can be translated as "Lucky Medusa." Ubuntu 22.04 will be an LTS release, so it will be supported for five years (plus five more years of additional ESM support).

Development timeline

The development schedule for Ubuntu 22.04 is as follows:

• Feb 24, 2022, Feature Freeze,
• March 17, 2022 - UI Freeze,
• March 31, 2022 - beta,
• April 7, 2022 - Kernel Freeze,
• April 14, 2022 - release candidate,
• April 21, 2022 - final release.

Why is it worth updating (or installing) Ubuntu 22.04 for the first time?

As previously mentioned, Jammy Jellyfish is an LTS version. Why is this important? First of all, there is a large part of the Linux community that only uses LTS versions. The reason is that you can use the operating system for five years without installing or updating the next version. In a world where Windows users are used to failing upgrades, unsupported hardware, and planned obsolescence, this is an important aspect of Ubuntu releases. Second, LTS versions tend to be more stable than non-LTS versions.

Many of the same people ignore the non-LTS versions of Ubuntu (odd versions like 21.04 and 21.10). So if you choose to only run Even (LTS) builds, now is the time to upgrade or do a fresh bare metal install. Also, for those who have never install java in linux before, Ubuntu 22.04 can be a good place to start because Canonical (the company that runs Ubuntu Linux) used Google Flutter in the previous version (21.10) to restart the installer and complete the installation process. Anyone (at almost any skill level) can successfully install Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 22.04: What to expect?

What to expect from tomcat9 ubuntu 22.04? You have also known that this will be an LTS release, which means that there will not be so many innovations - the developers will focus their attention on stability and security.

In addition, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will also introduce improvements from the previous release of GNOME 41: the ability to select a power-saving mode from the menu (the power-saving mode itself is significantly improved), a new Multitasking panel in the settings for managing windows and desktops, and much more.

In short:

• New GNOME 42 (but with applications from GNOME 41),
• Updated installer based on the Flutter framework,
• A new firmware update tool based on Flutter,
• Linux 5.15 LTS kernel with many new features,
• New tabs in settings: Ubuntu Dock and Multitasking,
• Updated Yaru GTK Theme,
• Choice of color accent
• Performance improvements to the Mutter window manager,
• Integration with Ubuntu Pro.
• OpenSSL 3.0. The new OpenSSL standard was released in September 2021. The introduction of the new version of OpenSSL will improve encryption security and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
