♞ Coming up on 9TO5Linux ♞
It’s that time of the year again, when Canonical kicks off the development cycle of the next
major Ubuntu Linux release, in this case Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish), and daily builds
are now available for download.
Ubuntu developer Steve Langasek was the one to announce earlier this week that the upcoming
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) operating system is officially open for development,
with Python 3.10 supported by default.
And now, early adopters and application developers interested in test driving the upcoming release
can now download the daily builds for Jammy Jellyfish, which you can grab from Ubuntu’s
main download servers.
Besides Ubuntu, which offers Desktop flavors for 64-bit and ARM64 (AArch64) architectures,
you will also find daily builds for the Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie,
and Ubuntu Kylin flavors.
As usual, these daily builds are based on the previous Ubuntu release, Ubuntu 21.10
(Impish Indri). This means that they are based on the Linux 5.13 kernel and features mostly
the same package versions, artwork, and desktop environment.
During the development cycle of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, we expect to see some of the newest GNU/Linux
technologies and Open Source software, starting with the transition to OpenSSL 3.0, Go 1.18,
Ruby 3.0, DPDK 21.11, and OpenLDAP 2.6.
I also hope to see new Ubuntu Desktop Installer written in Google’s Flutter SDK, as well
as the GNOME 42 desktop environment, which is slated for release on March 23rd, 2022,
and the Linux 5.17 kernel series, which should arrive in early March if my math is correct.
If you want to keep up with the development of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) during
its six-month-long development cycle, I recommend you follow 9to5Linux as I will try to cover
all its major changes until the final release on April 21st, 2022.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Codename Has Been Revealed
and it’s Dangerously Hot
The Ubuntu 22.04 LTS codename has been revealed on Launchpad, home of Ubuntu development.
Canonical has revealed what the codename is going to be for the next LTS version of Ubuntu
i.e, 22.04. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release date has also been revealed and it is set on April
21st, 2022.
If you were paying attention, the Ubuntu releases are always on a Thursday, scheduled to not
be the last Thursday of the month (3rd usually) as it provides a week to push the schedule
back if necessary and keep it in the month. Now try to guess what day of the week falls
on April 21st 2022? That’s right – it’s Thursday.
After the letter “I” in the alphabet series, comes “J”. Therefore, Canonical’s next
big LTS version codename should have the letter “J” in its codename.
As you know, each codename of Ubuntu releases so far have and will contain an adjective
and an animal. The animal may be real or anything that suits alliteratively. So, Ubuntu 22.04
LTS is codenamed as “Jammy Jellyfish”. It’s been revealed on launchpad.
What Does “Jammy Jellyfish” Mean? According to Collins Dictionary, if you describe
someone as “jammy“, you mean that they are very lucky because something good has
happened to them. So far so good.
But what about the jellyfish? Jellyfish have drifted along on ocean currents for millions
of years, even before dinosaurs lived on the Earth. Jellyfish have tiny stinging cells
in their tentacles to stun or paralyze their prey before they eat them, and can be painful
to humans and sometimes very dangerous.
So Canonical has definitely come up with a very brave and threatening codename. What
can we say? Only one thing – definitely it’s a little bit creepy.
What Features to Expect in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? Ubuntu 22.04 is a long term support (LTS)
release and it will be supported for five years for regular users and for ten years
if you opt for the paid extended support maintenance.
Since it’s an LTS release, stability is of the upmost importance. Probably, the Canonical
team won’t try any radical changes here. There will be improvements, of course, but
the focus is on creating a true foundation on which other people, companies and services
can stand.
The development starts this month. New features, packages, and APIs will be included until
February 24th, 2022.
Probably Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will ships with GNOME 42, which is planned for release in
March 23rd, 2022. Also there are PHP 8.1, OpenSSL 3, and Mesa 22.0. In addition, the
Firefox web browser will only be available as a Snap app.
