Description

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Jammy Jellyfish Desktop 64-bit is the latest point‑release of Ubuntu’s long‑term support series. Although the exact release date is not publicly disclosed, this update targets desktop users seeking a stable, secure environment on modern 64‑bit and ARM64 hardware, with full support for x86_64 processors.

The release brings the Hardware Enablement (HWE) stack with the Linux 5.15 kernel, delivering improved hardware compatibility for newer CPUs and GPUs. GNOME 42 provides a more polished desktop experience, while the updated installer streamlines partitioning and network configuration. Security updates are back‑ported throughout the LTS lifecycle, and drivers for Wi‑Fi, graphics, and storage have been refreshed. Users upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop will notice faster boot times and better power management, and the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server benefits from the same kernel improvements.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS receives security and maintenance updates until April 2027, confirming its long‑term support status.
