There’s WebP support in the new LibreOffice 7.4 release too. This is thanks to Ubuntu devs shipping the webp-pixbuf-loader library (install this to enable WebP support in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Ubuntu 22.10 supports WebP image format out of the box in the file manager and in the native photo viewer. You can see WebP files out-of-the-box in 22.10 The toolbar in Nautilus 43 also splits at reduce width to keep all options on screen (as touch-friendly targets). When you reduce the width of the window the sidebar gets out of the way, and resurfaces as a slide-over page. In Ubuntu 22.10 the Nautilus file manager is fully adaptive. I’ve written about new features in Nautilus 43 a few times already so I’ll stash the prose and get to the details. It’s a subtle UX tweak that, I find, is far more in keeping with the way the way the rest of the desktop behaves.

When multiple windows of the same app are opened (even if some are minimised) clicking on an app icon in the dock now presents a dynamic overview of rather than, as before, a near-dock pop-over of window thumbnails. Well, I’m pleased to say that request was merged and the change is default in Ubuntu 22.10. I was excited as it brought a long-standing Unity-era behaviour to the modern GNOME Shell-based Ubuntu desktop. Regularly readers may recall an Ubuntu Dock merge proposal I wrote about a few months back. Window spread is the default behaviour now

On portable devices the menu will present battery information on the upper left of the pod. Options to suspend, restart, or power-off are now located behind the ‘power’ icon in the upper right of the the new menu. For input, a mic must be in use for the mic slider to show. Regularly switch between audio input and output devices? The new quick toggles panel makes it changing input and output audio devices easy: you can do it straight from the menu by clicking the overflow arrow that appears when compatible hardware is connected/attached. The network pod also supports in-menu sub-panels where you can, e.g., select a different network directly, no more pop-up modal or trip to Network settings required. It now takes just one click to enable/disable Wi-Fi, VPN, Bluetooth, Night Light, Airplane Mode, and Dark Mode. 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.
