Ubuntu 21.04 is Now Available to Download +====== + +It is time to make way for Ubuntu’s latest stable release 21.04 Hiruste Hippo. + +While we already know a great deal about the [features introduced with Ubuntu 21.04][1], it has been [officially announced][2]. + +Yes, there’s no GNOME 40, which is a bummer. But, here, let me briefly mention the key highlights of the release and how to get the latest ISO. + +### Ubuntu 21.04: Key Highlights + +Considering this as an interim release, there are no ground-breaking changes but still a few things to get excited about. + +#### Wayland Is The Default Display Server + +This could be one of the most significant changes that you may want to keep an eye on. + +Many applications fail to work with Wayland, but we’re slowly getting Wayland support on new application releases considering its performance and security benefits. + +So, this is probably a bold step to move away from Xorg. + +#### UI Enhancements + +![][3] + +Ranging from subtle improvements to the Dark Theme to the adoption of dark theme by default, you will be greeted with some UI enhancements for a good user experience. + +Also, [Google’s Flutter apps are coming to Ubuntu 21.04][4]. You will find them through the snap store, and it should potentially enable Linux desktop to have high quality cross-platform with improved user experience overall. + +In addition to that, you might observe a few things here and there that could look a bit different. + +#### GNOME 40 Applications & GNOME 3.38 + +Even though it does not come baked in with [GNOME 40][5], you will find the default applications updated to GNOME 40. + +So, the GNOME 40 apps have been made compatible with GNOME 3.38 for this release. The next release should make the transition to GNOME 40 without any hiccups. + +#### Private Home Directories + +![][6] + +The home directory was readable/writable by root and other users. However, with [Ubuntu 21.04, they are making it private][7]. + +#### Other Improvements + +There are plenty of other improvements that include under-the-hood changes for new hardware support, enhanced laptop support, and more. + +Of course, the packages have been updated to the latest as well along with the inclusion of [Linux Kernel 5.11][8]. + +### Things to Know Before You Upgrade + +If you are using Ubuntu 20.10, you can easily upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 through the **Updates** section. + +In either case, if you are on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I would not recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 21.04 yet unless you want the latest and greatest at the expense of stability and potential issues. + +### Download Ubuntu 21.04 Now + +You can get the latest release from the official website, both torrent and a direct ISO file download should be available as options. + +At the time of publishing this, the official website still did not include a link to the latest images but it should be updated soon enough. + +[Ubuntu 21.04 Download][9] + +If you need a choice of desktop environment, you will have to wait for the official flavors of Ubuntu to release an upgrade, that will take a while. + +_What do you think about Ubuntu 21.04 release?
