Updates in Ubuntu 21.10

In this blog, we shall be discussing the updates and improvements in Ubuntu 21.10. Please note that this version is NOT an LTS (Long-term support) version.

Ubuntu 21.10

Finally installed Ubuntu 21.10 after the long wait!

The Horizontal Workspaces:

The most iconic one being the introduction of horizontal workspaces!

A new Gnome Version:

Ubuntu 21.10 comes with a customized Gnome 40 desktop instead of Gnome 36 (default on Ubuntu 21.04).

Gestures:

Multitouch gestures have been improved over the last few releases.

Ubuntu Dock:

A lot of people have been using Dash to Dock extension instead of the standard Gnome Ubuntu Dock.

Gnome 40 has really improved the default Gnome Ubuntu Dock and added separators between favourite and running applications.

Software Updates:

Alongside the new additions to the OS, Ubuntu 21.10 is obviously shipped with loads of software updates.
