So, you can expect all of its official flavors to offer the latest and greatest soon after that. + +And, the KDE flavour, i.e., Kubuntu 22.04 LTS is now also available to download! + +You should expect all the [feature additions of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS][1] and specially tailored improvements for the Kubuntu 22.04 release. + +Let me briefly emphasize the key changes. + +### Kubuntu 22.04 LTS: What’s New? + +The primary highlight of the release is KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS. + +In addition to that, you should also notice updates to KDE apps and other pre-installed applications. Let’s take a look: + +#### KDE Plasma 5.24 + +![][2] + +KDE Plasma 5.24 features an updated breeze theme, and several visual improvements. It is a long-term supported version that should get updates until Plasma 6 releases. + +You had the option to use KDE Neon or Arch Linux, or a few other distros to experience KDE Plasma 5.24. Finally, Kubuntu is here as a mainstream distro featuring the latest and greatest from KDE. + +You can learn more about [KDE Plasma 5.24][3] changes in our previous coverage. + +If you are moving away from GNOME-based Ubuntu, you may want to check out our article on [KDE Plasma vs GNOME][4] to get some insights before making the switch. + +#### Default Browser as Firefox Snap + +Firefox 99 snap is the default browser. In case you’re curious, Mozilla is working with Canonical to quickly push updates and conveniently maintain the browser using the snap package. + +So, it only makes sense to keep it as the default. But, you can always install the deb package if you do not prefer using Snap. + +#### GNOME-like Overview + +With KDE Plasma 5.24, you get the ability to use a feature similar to GNOME’s Activities overview. + +You can browse through your virtual desktops and windows at a glance with its help. + +To access it, you can press the Super key + W, and here’s how it should look: + +![][5] + +#### Improvements to Discover + +![][6] + +The software center for KDE i.e. Discover has received some upgrades. One of the neat additions includes the ability to prevent removing anything that is critical to the system’s operation. + +You should notice a warning when you try to remove something that could break the system. + +If you prefer Flatpak, you can now open locally downloaded Flatpak packages and install it using the Flatpak repository URI. + +#### Fingerprint Support + +KDE Plasma 5.24 finally adds the support for fingerprint authentication. You can conveniently add up to 10 fingerprints and use them to unlock or authenticate something. + +#### Other Improvements + +![][7] + +In addition to the major upgrades, you should expect subtle changes across the platform along with app updates that include: + + * LibreOffice 7.3 + * KDE Gear 21.12 + * Dolphin + + + +To explore more about the changes, you can refer to the [official release notes][8]. + +### Download Kubuntu 22.04 LTS + +You can head to the official download page to get the latest ISO or choose to wait to receive the upgrade prompt. + +[Kubuntu 20.04 LTS][9] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/kubuntu-22-04-release/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-22-04-release-features/ +[2]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3NSIgd2lkdGg9IjEyMDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyIgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4xIi8+ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-5-24-lts-release/ +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/kde-vs-gnome/ +[5]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjY3OSIgd2lkdGg9IjEyMDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyIgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4xIi8+ +[6]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjU5MSIgd2lkdGg9IjgzOSIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[7]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjQ1NyIgd2lkdGg9IjgxMCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[8]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JammyJellyfish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu +[9]: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/22.04/release/
