Rilasciata Xubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish" con pacchetti aggiornati e alcuni miglioramenti dell'interfaccia,

Le note di rilascio ci ricordano che questa è una versione LTS, ma sarà supportata per 3 anni (fino ad aprile 2025), e non 5 come la versione principale. Tra le novità, sono stati costretti a comunicare che Firefox è come un pacchetto snap, e non è più possibile installarlo dai repository ufficiali. È una mossa ordinata da Canonical, che è stata convinta da Mozilla (si presume), quindi non c’era scelta.
