Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS release has been made available to download.
The 3rd point release in the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS series, this update rolls together all of the security patches, bug fixes, and software updates issued to the Jammy Jellyfish since the previous point release, into a shiny new ISO image.
This update includes a newer Linux kernel & graphics drivers back-ported from Ubuntu 23.04
I.e. it’s a real time saver for those doing a fresh install.
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS also includes a new hardware enablement stack (HWE) composed of Linux kernel 6.2 and Mesa 23.0.4 (a sizeable update in itself).
Package updates include GNOME Shell 42.9, LibreOffice 7.5.5 (an uplift over the the 7.3.x series), and Mozilla Firefox 116.
See the Ubuntu Discourse for a full(er) comparison of changes from Ubuntu 22.04.2 to Ubuntu 22.04.3.
As a reminder, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is supported until April 2027. Support beyond that is provided through an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS is due for release next year and it will bring over the kernel and graphics stack from Ubuntu 23.10.
Download Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
You can download Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS from the Ubuntu releases server or the Ubuntu website (not updated at the time you read this 💁🏻♂️).
If you already run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — an awful lot of people do; users of LTS editions dramatically outnumber those on short-term/interim releases — you do not need to download anything other than software updates to “get” all of the goodies mentioned above.
In fact, if you stay on top of your updates you probably have everything already – go enjoy!
