Ubuntu 23.10

Canonical has released a new version of Ubuntu. The new version, 23.10 (code name Mantic Minotaur) introduces updated hardware support using Linux 6.5, better ZFS support in the installer, and the default install configuration is set to "Minimal". "The default Ubuntu Desktop installation is now minimal. There is still an 'Expanded installation' option for those who prefer to have applications like LibreOffice and Thunderbird installed for the first boot. (The 'Full' option is still the default with the legacy Desktop installer.) We are reintroducing support for ZFS guided installations, enhancing the flexibility and choices available for your storage management needs. This is a new implementation in the Subiquity-based installers, and is without encryption by default. The encrypted ZFS guided option will be developed in a future release. Starting with Ubuntu 23.10, TPM-backed full-disk encryption (FDE) is introduced as an experimental feature, building on years of experience with Ubuntu Core. On supported platforms, you no longer need to enter passphrases at boot manually."
