Ubuntu 23.04: What's New?

Ubuntu 23.04 is the latest version of Ubuntu, the world's most popular Linux desktop operating system — but what's new & improved?

Well, that’s what I tell you in this video. I showcase the new features Ubuntu 23.04 comes with, plus give my thoughts on whether it’s worth upgrading to (spoiler: kinda).

Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” is released on April 20, 2023 and you can download it, as always, for free from the official Ubuntu website.

These videos get better every time (editing, presentation, and explanations!)

Love seeing Ubuntu inching closer to a more polished user experience. Here's to hoping that the open-source community continues to push Ubuntu forward, making it an even stronger contender for common Users in the future! 🤞🙂

Finally, thumbnails in file selector! 2023 will truly be year of Linux on desktop :D
Seriously though, what took them so long.

I think it will be good addition to the video mention the release date, which is April 20, 2023, so Ubuntu 23.04 is not available yet when this video was posted (April 12). Not many people read the description. Hope can help!

Hi!! thank you for the video, love the new updates!

[iKRAMAbid]

Love the way you presented all changes right away at start without wasting any time

[bunnihilator]

The OS and UX of Ubuntu has come a long way. And it seems like a more concise experience and complete OS

[Hiram]

I wish you'd do more videos, you are quite good at it.

[TimPiazza]

I can't wait for the quick settings overhaul, the instant mute is long overdue. Your videos are always the biggest highlight of any and every Ubuntu release. Thank you for being informative and entertaining!

[ko_tech]

You are natural in front of the camera. You should make more Linux videos IMO :) Also, this seems like a great release. I still wish they would make Flatpak the default though.

[MauricioGleizer]

A precious YouTube channel, It's really a pity that there are so few videos...

[arindam]

Nice to see you Joey!! And the desk hasn't changed at all!!!

[jimmac]

Nicely polished production! Well done, Joey.

[StarFox]

I love seeing the refinements as ubuntu matures.

been a user for a long time (PowerPC Mac era, I might add)

i was using Ubuntu as daily driver, and my last version was 18.04, it look cleaner and cooler now, i'm thinking to give it a shot, nice vid btw ^ ^

I’ve backported it into 22.04 LTS. Which carries forward all the 23.04 improvements.

[RichardJActon]

For LTS users Ubuntu 23.04 does not look like major reason to upgrade early but for Kubuntu people 23.04 has plasma 5.27 which would be quite a big draw especially if you have multi-monitor issues

[Bromon]

I gotta say, I decided to buy a cheap storage drive to install Ubuntu and just screw around a bit and see what all the Linux noise was about, but now I haven’t wanted to go back. I wasn’t expecting Ubuntu to feel so good and to give such a breath of new life to my 7 year old computer. Nor did I think Linux would be capable of doing everything I do on Windows. But after using Windows for more than a decade straight, I think I can officially say that I’m making the switch.

Upgrading... Hope the touch pad scroll speed can be adjusted.
