Although Microsoft's Windows is the most widely used desktop system, there is a huge world beyond it, largely thanks to Linux distributions. A clear example of all this can be found in one of the most valued and beloved, Ubuntu.
Many of you will know first-hand that in this case we find one of the most used and popular distros out there. Precisely for all this there are many users who are constantly waiting for the news and improvements that are coming to this open source operating system. This is the case that concerns us right now and that we want to talk about in these lines. Specifically, we want to focus on the possibility of testing the new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS right away if you wish.
We are telling you all this because the developer of the aforementioned software, Canonical, has already announced the availability of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in its Beta version. As you can imagine and mainly due to the fact that it is not a final version, it may still contain some bugs. However, this Beta version is very close to the definitive one and will help us to test in the first instance everything that will come to us in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Moreover, the company itself urges us to notify you of the possible errors that we find in this release that has just been made public.
Surely all this will be greatly appreciated by those who are willing to try this new version of the distribution as soon as possible. The first thing we need to know in this regard is that the new Beta images are available for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop, Server and Cloud.
How to try Ubuntu 22.04 LTS now
At the same time we can find it in its corresponding versions of Kubuntu, UbuntuKylin, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie. As we mentioned, this will allow us to test the new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS right now while waiting for its developers to release the final version. This will take place on the next April 21, 2022. From that moment we will be able to update the operating system to have the definitive version of it instead of the Beta.
Here we are going to find some important improvements that many have been waiting for a long time. Among the most interesting ones, we will already be able to work with the Linux 5.15 kernel, in addition to enjoying the GNOME 41 and 42 environments . In turn, we will find a new logo that is part of the system boot screen. We must bear in mind that those who install the new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be able to use it on their computers for up to five years. This means that until next year 2027 we will not have to update it again.
It is worth mentioning that these types of movements are made by Canonical to obtain comments and complaints from users about possible errors found. All this with the healthy objective of offering the best experience in the final version of the operating system. For all those who want to try this new Ubuntu 22.04 LTS beta now, they can do so by downloading it from the system's official website.
