![]() The latest version of Pipewire is included to make screensharing apps (among others) more useful with Wayland. Users of proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers can now use the Ubuntu on Wayland session. This makes Ubuntu 21.10 installs faster than 21.04 installs (on paper, anyhow). ![]() Zstd compression is -years later than planned, mind- enabled for the main archive. This introduces initial support for Apple’s new M1 processor, a handful of tweaks to the EXT4 filesystem, as well as support for the latest Microsoft Surface laptops, the Apple Magic Mouse 2, the GK6X mechanical keyboard family, and more. Zstd compression makes installing Ubuntu 21.10 faster than before Other visual changes are altogether more subtle, ranging from updated icons, a new highlight style, and tuning to bring the theme inline with GNOME’s default Adwaita theme (on which Yaru is based). Switching to a light theme isn’t the only Yaru theme change shipping in this release but it’s probably the only one you’ll really notice. Ubuntu 21.10: Release DateĪs mentioned at the outset, the Ubuntu 21.10 release date is October 14, 2021.īut prior to the final release of Ubuntu 21.10 there were a series of development milestones that made up the Impish Indri development cycle: Can you recall the other Ubuntu release beginning with ‘I’? To save you rummaging through your memory: it was Ubuntu 8.10 ‘Intrepid Ibex’. It’s also the second version to be named after an animal beginning with the letter ‘I’. The recommend ‘upgrade’ path after this date will be to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, due April 2022.įact fans will be interested to know that Ubuntu 21.10 is the 25th Ubuntu release since 2004. It’s an apt codename given some of the changes present - but more on those in a minute.Ī short-term support release, Ubuntu 21.10 is supported for 9 months with major bug fixes, critical security patches, and major new app releases. The word “impish” means to “…do slightly naughty things for fun”, while an “indri” is a lemur native to Madagascar that spends the majority of its time up off the ground and in the trees. The Ubuntu 21.10 codename is ‘Impish Indri’. Unfortunately it is the only way to have Plasma 5.13 so we have to wait a few hours to have this new version of Plasma.How things are looking in the new release Sudo apt update & sudo apt full-upgrade -yīut we have to point out that for the moment Plasma 5.13 is not in these repositories although it will be for the next few hours. To do this, a terminal is opened and we write the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports If we don't have KDE Neon, but if Ubuntu or Kubuntu, we can do it through the use of backports repositories. Obviously to have it we have to open a terminal and write the following: sudo apt update & sudo apt full-upgrade -yĪnd this will make our KDE Neon have Plasma 5.13 working properly. This new version of Plasma is now available to users of the KDE Neon distribution, that distribution which is based on Ubuntu LTS with KDE as the default desktop. An interesting appearance that we will see very well reflected in Discover, the Plasma software manager that has received a new design, being more optimal for software installation. The design and desktop artwork has also been redesigned, being a more minimalist and beautiful desktop, incorporating the blur interface, an interface that adds transparency effects without actually being one. Yes, it may seem incredible, but currently Plasma 5.12 consumes almost the same resources as LXDE and Xfce, so it seems that Plasma 5.13 surpasses that barrier. One of the novelties of Plasma 5.13 is its optimization that makes Plasma 5.13 one of the lightest and lightest desktops out there for many computers. ![]() Not because it is the latest version but because it offers elements that the Community and users value positively. Plasma 5.13 is one of the most interesting latest versions of Plasma. ![]() A few days ago The latest version of the KDE desktop has been released, this is Plasma 5.13, a version that promises a lot thanks to its novelties and that although it is not yet in the versions and flavors of Ubuntu, it is true that we can have it on our computer without losing Ubuntu or having to compile the desktop source code by hand. ![]()
