Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS “Jammy Jellyfish” USB Drive
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS brings more of everything you love about Ubuntu Desktop. More features and customisation options, more performance and power efficiency and more ways to integrate with your existing enterprise management tools. Combined with our LTS commitment of five years of updates and security patching, we’re confident that this latest version of the Linux Desktop delivers everything needed to empower developers and creators in 2022 and beyond.
Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.
GNOME 42 on Ubuntu 22.04 3
Jammy Jellyfish leapfrogs from GNOME 40 straight to GNOME 42 for our shell and most libraries. This provides a range of benefits, from a streamlined user interface with more compact on-screen display notifications, to snappy horizontal workspace transitions (and corresponding touchpad gestures) as well as improved multi-monitor support.
New customisation options!
Ubuntu’s Yaru theme continues to be refined. Jammy Jellyfish features a new accent colour-picker that allows you to customise your desktop even further. In addition, our community wallpaper competition had so many great submissions that we decided to include all the finalists for the LTS release. This is extra useful now that you can set different wallpapers for dark and light themes.
Performance & power improvements for the Linux Desktop
Linux desktop performance has had a massive upgrade for this release. Thanks to work on GNOME triple buffering, Intel and Raspberry Pi graphics drivers will now see up to double the frame rate when navigating the desktop. We also see significant improvements when using AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards as well as runtime power management for NVIDIA GPUs. Wayland is now the default display server for most systems, whilst X11 remains the default for those with NVIDIA GPUs.
GNOME 42 also brings new power profile options, allowing users to choose between performance, balanced and power consumption from the settings screen.
