We’ll start with the part of GNOME 43 most people are talking about: quick settings.Īs you can see in the animated gif above, the new pod-based system menu in GNOME 43 (which Ubuntu 22.10 features) is a major departure from the list-based one found in previous builds. GNOME 43 is at the heart of the Ubuntu 22.10 release, and the bulk of Kinetic’s new features and most striking changes come courtesy of upstream GNOME. The other was Ubuntu 9.10 “Karmic Koala”, a notable release as it was the last to feature Ubuntu’s “Human” theme.īut what can you expect in the Ubuntu 22.10 release? New Features in Ubuntu 22.10 Quick Settings Today, mascot names are selected to sound cute rather than provide any deeper meaning.įans of largely useless trivia may be interested to know that 22.10 is the 37th Ubuntu release since 2004, and the second to use a codename beginning with the letter ‘K’. In the past, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth would introduce each codename with a detailed blog post explaining why the the animal and adjective combination were representative of the release itself.

So does this codename tell us anything about Ubuntu 22.10? Honestly, no Ubuntu codenames are not as symbolic or significant as they once were. “Kinetic” is an adjective related to motion, whilst a Kudu is a species of African antelope, the male of which have some impressive spiralled horns. As codenames it isn’t the most revelatory. Ubuntu developers gave Ubuntu 22.10 “ Kinetic Kudu” as its codename.
