Late august we publish news that we should have posted yesterday or today: the release date of Ubuntu 22.04, when the normal thing would have been that they announced it after the landing of Impish Indri. What will already arrive within normality are the steps that are taken from now on, such as the first Daily Live being launched or the code name being released.
Just like We can read In Lauchpad, Ubuntu 22.04 will have a codename that sounds delicious: Jammy jellyfish. Putting the above in Google Translate DeepL, we can see that it is a "jam jellyfish", and writing that after 17pm has made me hungry. Although it is not exactly the same, I have a cuttlefish in my head, and the jam makes me think that it is… I don't know, but it has to be good.
Ubuntu 22.04 will arrive with the codename Jammy Jellyfish on April 22, 2022
In the United Kingdom the word "jammy" is also used to refer to something lucky. Therefore, and considering that we have never eaten any Ubuntu pets, we can choose between the jellyfish or the lucky one, but I think the second option better defines what Canonical has in mind.
As for what it will be, it will start its development soon, but it will use a more updated version of GNOME (41 or 42), a newer kernel, probably the next LTS version of the kernel, the new Flutter-based installer and Firefox in its snap version for Ubuntu and all its official and unofficial flavors. Its launch is scheduled for April 22th 2022, and it will be an LTS version supported for 5 years, until 2027. In the next few hours or days the Daily Live will be published for those who want to get to know all the news first-hand.
