Ubuntu 23.04 is Now Available to Download

It’s alive — Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” is now available to download. This update is the latest short-term release of the Ubuntu Linux operating system and is supported by 9 months of ongoing support, bug fixes, and critical app updates. This might not sound like a long time but Ubuntu 23.10 is released in 6 months time and users of this release will be able to upgrade to it. If you asked me to describe Ubuntu 23.04 in one word I’d choose: “improvement”. Nothing in this release is revolutionary, and that’s not a bad thing. There’s a big user experience :sys_more_orange:

How to Upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04 from Ubuntu 22.10

Want to upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04 from Ubuntu 22.10? If you’re full up-to-date and you have an active internet connection, you can – and in this post I run through the steps to do it. As Ubuntu 22.10 is end of life in July so anyone using it will have to upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04 to continue getting updates. If you don’t want the hassle of needing to upgrade every 6 to 9 months you might want to consider doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as it’s supported until 2027. Anyway, you’re here cos you want to upgrade, so let’s :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.04: What’s New? [Video]

The Ubuntu 23.04 release is out on April 20 and to help hype its arrival I put together a video to show off the most striking changes. Not that news of what’s new in Ubuntu 23.04 will be a surprise to those of you who read this blog regularly — oh, I know: I make that exact same joke every six months I post one of “these”. Thing is, I could ask ChatGPT for new material but since it was trained on my typo-laden content, it’d likely be just as derivative 😅. All told, Ubuntu 23.04 is a minor but :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.04 Beta is Available to Download

If you’ve been dying to download the Ubuntu 23.03 beta it’s time to go get it — downloads are now officially available! This beta build arrives in advance of the final stable release of Ubuntu 23.04, which is due out April 20. It’s purpose: to let folks like you and I try it out early to find bugs, breakages, and report any show-stopping quirks. As Ubuntu 23.04 is a short-term release (supported for just 9 months) there aren’t reams of revolutionary changes present in this released, which is codenamed the “Lunar Lobster”. But there is a lot to like! Ubuntu :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.04: The Best New Features

Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” is released on Thursday April 20, 2023. As a short-term release, Lunar gets 9 months of ongoing updates, security patches, and critical fixes. That might not sound very long but Ubuntu 23.10 arrives 6 months after and users will be encouraged to upgrade to that. Details out of the way. In this post I take a closer look at the Ubuntu 23.04’s new features, changes, and enhancements – though keep in mind that everything you read about below is still (somewhat) subject to change until April 20. Let’s dive in 🦞. New Features in Ubuntu 23.04 :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.04 Default Wallpaper Revealed

Ready for your first look at the new default wallpaper for Ubuntu 23.04? Course you are! And with a codename like the “Lunar Lobster” it’s only natural that the designers of the official Ubuntu 23.04 background have leaned lovingly into this ludicrous label with lascivious zeal. So here, in all its compressed JPEG glory, is Ubuntu’s luxe new lead: All things said, this lusciously illustrated lobster should help to liven up Ubuntu’s latest release. Ubuntu’s designers had an unenviable task in translating such a wacky codename into a well considered graphic. There are stars! A moon! And… whatever those triangles :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu Devs Working on New ‘Mini’ ISO (

Ubuntu plan to release a new minimal ISO as part of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release. While there’s nothing to download or test (yet – that I’m aware of) a good overview of the project was shared on the Ubuntu developer mailing list at the weekend. Interestingly, the effort is being headed up by Dan Bungert, the maintainer of Subiquity, which is the tech underpinning Ubuntu’s new Flutter-based installer). “The ubuntu-mini-iso is a small bootable iso that can be either downloaded and used on a CD/USB-drive or even via UEFI HTTP that brings up a dynamic TUI menu of what :sys_more_orange:

Expandable Folder View Returns to Nautilus in Ubuntu 23.04

A new version of the Nautilus file manager is available in the latest daily builds of Ubuntu 23.04 ‘Lunar Lobster’. If you read our sister site omg! linux you’ll already know of one particular change that makes Nautilus 44 an especially exciting update: the return of Expandable Folders in List View option. Accessible from the file manager’s Preferences panel, this opt-in behaviour makes it faster to flit through folders to find a specific file when using list view (this feature doesn’t work in icon view). When enabled you’re able to expand and collapse folders tree view style to maintain a :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 23.04 Makes ‘Telegram Desktop’ a Snap, May Backport Change to LTS

If you run sudo apt instal telegram-desktop in Ubuntu 23.04 it now installs a Telegram Snap instead of the Debian package you may be expecting. Ubuntu developers are currently debating whether to back-port the transitional package to earlier, stable versions of Ubuntu, such as the latest long-term support release. But why are they doing this? Well, the existing telegram-desktop package in the Ubuntu repo is inherited from Debian. That build, while functional, is charitably described as being “outdated and buggy” by one developer. It’s also not maintained by Telegram themselves. So, being frustrated with bug reports and support requests for :sys_more_orange:

Xubuntu 23.04 Will Come in a CD-ROM Size ‘Minimal’ Image

As the Ubuntu 23.04 development cycle gets underway we’re learning more about what’s in store for Ubuntu and its growing family of flavours. Xubuntu, one of the more minimally-minded spins, has revealed its planning to release a new ‘Xubuntu Minimal’ image starting with Ubuntu 23.04. It’s an expansion of the Xubuntu Core effort started back in 2015 but with a big ol’ rubber-stamp of officialdom on it. In a post to the Ubuntu developer mailing list, Steve Langasek says Xubuntu Minimal “…parallels existing minimal install targets from the Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server images to provide a smaller install footprint :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu Considers Removing ‘Archive Manager’ from Default Install

Should Ubuntu drop the Archive Manager app from the default install? That’s the suggestion put forward for community discussion by a prominent Ubuntu developer. The reasoning is that since Nautilus lets us create/extract commonly-compressed formats (including the ubiquitous .zip and tarballs) shipping a separate app that does the same thing (albeit with more formats) is unnecessary. There’s precedent for such a move: GNOME 41 dropped the the Archive Manager app (often referred to by the package name file-roller) from GNOME Core. Their reasoning was similar: Nautilus now does it, so why duplicate functionality in the standard seed? Users with advanced :sys_more_orange:
