What's new in Ubuntu Budgie 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)
May 8, 2023
- We are pleased to announce the release of the next version of our distro, the 23.04 release for both the desktop and Raspberry Pi4.
- This is a standard release supported for 9 months packed full of all sorts of new capabilities. If you want a well tested and longer term support then our 22.04.2 LTS version is supported for 3 years.
- New with this release is a full backport of all the budgie components for our 22.04 LTS user community. We warmly recommend this combination – great stability with the very latest ‘everything budgie’.
- The new release has many new core updates as well as the latest version of budgie itself:
- The kernel is v6.2
- GNOME 44 stack with mutter 12
- budgie-desktop is 10.7.1.
- Enhanced hotcorner capabilities with edge support
- Superb and intuitive tiling support using either/both mouse and keyboard
- We also inherit hundreds of stability, bug-fixes and optimizations made to the underlying Ubuntu repositories. Many thanks to all the volunteers, Debian & Ubuntu maintainers and Canonical employees who have done such a sterling job packaging the changes that many more developers from all over the world have resolved. The power of FOSS that we are all proud to be part of.
