Ubuntu 23.10 will be released on October 12, 2023.
Here, we will highlight some of the critical changes expected to arrive with Ubuntu 23.10.
Flutter-based App Store
Ubuntu 23.10 will feature a Flutter-based app store that has a neat layout with improved search functionality, improved app view, and the ability to switch between Snap and Debian packages.
