Debian -based Ubuntu is the jumping point for many other distributions, including Linux Mint and Zorin OS. The desktop version is available in at least two brings: the so -called LTS (long -term support), which receives support for a period of not less than five years of the version, and the edge of the bleeding, which comes with nine months of security and maintenance updates. In each case, the construction number -23.10 indicates this review-to the year and month of the version, so 23.10 will enjoy support until July 2024 and 22.04 LTS until April 2027. new versions appear every six months of advanced construction, and every year for the LTS version.
Each of 23.10 and 22.04.3 LTS requires 4 GB memory, 25 GB drive and 2 GHz dual -core processor, although it operates on a different nucleus (6.5 versus 5.17) and desktop environments (GNOME 45 against GNOME 41/42). Build 23.10 also runs more recent versions of its virtual applications, Firefox, Libreofice and Thunderbird. Among them, perhaps the most important thing is Thunderbird, which is located in 91 in the LTS version and at 115.2 at 23.10. Thunderbird 115 provided significant improvements in the interface, and even if you install the LTS version, we recommend that Thunderbird update to at least 115 yourself.
In addition to the release of the desktop, there are designs for server and the Internet of Things, with the latter including Raspberry PI. The PI version is available directly through Raspberry Pi Image. There is also a fixed construction, in which basic system files are protected from absurdity.
There is no installation questions that impose very taxes. You do not need to know the type of safety you use your network, as you do for OpenSuse, and we didn’t need to play while dividing our driver to successfully complete the process.
Once it is operated and operated, it was presented with vanilla to a large extent. Although Obonto has his own style, it remains somewhat loyal to the appearance and the default appearance of the Genoal, rather than wandering significantly as Zorine does (or as the nitrox does from the KDE plasma). If you do not like Genoom, you will find an alternative alternative with a little search. Kubuntu (Kubuntu.

Applications can be installed using the compact application center or via the station using the APT. The application center, which allows access to both Debian and Snap packages, has been upgraded at 23.10, and certainly feels more attractive than the installer who replaced. There is “Jump Start of Desktop” at the top of the home page that allows direct access to the most common applications, instead of the recommended software section of Raspberry Pi OS. Other sections called, including the productivity section, facilitate easy to find basics like alternative browsers, bitWarden and Slack. INKSCAPE or GIMP is not pre -installed, but the versions available through the application center correspond to the latest version numbers available from their sites.
More good news? In First Boot, both wireless printers have been identified and successfully prepared.
For many new arrivals, Ubuntu may be a strange word for Linux, and it is easy to know the reason. The installation is a breeze, and as soon as it is finished, it only works. The new features in this latest version, including the updated application center and Genoom 45, are hidden but welcome improvements on their predecessors, the virtual interface is not available and provide some deviations.
Obonto has been the winner of our laboratories the last time, and nothing changed here – as long as you are happy to run Genoom. If not, take a look at Opensuse Opensuse Tumbleweed or Linux Mint based on cinnamon.
It is not difficult to find an UBUNTU distribution that runs KDE and Budgie and many other desktop managers, although they are not under control directly by Canonical, the company that stands behind the Ubuntu itself, it is more fair to consider them different products.
