Ubuntu Cinnamon ships with Cinnamon 5.6.7 and the rest of the desktop suite. Overall, not much new, but a handful of quality of life and bug fixes. Here are the notable changes: Cinnamon 5.6.7 - (Full Cinnamon changelog). Bug fixes: keyboard navigation in the Scale and Expo view; GWL app reloading; themes will show up in the theme menu, even if they don't have GTK 2 support; app switcher reverse mouse scroll."

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia-focused commuity edition of Ubuntu. The project has published a new release, Ubuntu Studio 23.04, which offers nine months of support. The new version includes KDE Plasma 5.27 and the PipeWire audio server. The distribution also includes a new system installer: "Ubuntu Studio Installer has been completely rewritten from the ground-up and works better on high-DPI displays. It utilizes the Zenity GTK interface to give users a choice of package selection and is even capable of uninstalling entire groups of packages. Ubuntu Studio Installer can still be used to add or remove the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA as well as switch between the new PipeWire configuration or the traditional PulseAudio/JACK configuration of past releases (which also installs Studio Controls). Wayland is available and installed by default to select upon login and test but is still unsupported. We have done this at the request of KDE so that it can gain more testing and bug reports. We have done our best to configure it with the default theming and to make sure it picks up your settings, but it is possible some things will be missed and not work quite right. However, it has undergone extensive real-world testing and works well on non-NVIDIA systems."

"The Xubuntu team is happy to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 23.04. Xubuntu 23.04 features the latest Xfce 4.18. Xfce 4.18 delivers a stable desktop environment with a number of performance improvements and new features to enjoy. In particular, the Thunar file manager benefits from a new image preview feature, undo and redo functionality, file highlights and recursive search. Xubuntu 23.04 also welcomes Xubuntu Minimal as an official subproject. Xubuntu Minimal is a slimmed-down version of Xubuntu that only includes the bare essentials: the desktop, a few Xfce components and the Xubuntu look and feel. Long-time Xubuntu fans may better know this as Xubuntu Core. After nearly eight years of being a supported, but community-built project, we're happy to finally publish downloads along with the main Xubuntu edition."

"By default, Edubuntu's application overview is alphabetized, which makes it a learning tool out-of-the-box so students can see an example of alphabetization and cataloging. Additionally, educational applications are grouped into folders by subject, making the application overview easy to navigate. Using Edubuntu Installer, you can configure the system for a certain age group, whether that be preschool, primary (elementary), secondary (middle/high school) or tertiary (college/university). Each configuration comes with a different set of applications and a different layout and default wallpaper. Using Edubuntu Menu Administrator, administrators can configure which applications are hidden for non-administrator users with the check of a box."

"Ubuntu Unity 23.04 'Lunar Lobster' has now been released. It is the first distribution to ship Unity 7.7 out of the box, and brings many improvements to the table, including: a brand-new dash, similar to that displayed in the concepts designed for Ubuntu 16.04; a slightly bigger panel, that is translucent by default and looks much better in light mode; indicator-notification is installed by default, and allows you to see any notifications that may have popped up while you were away; the official widgets implementation, UWidgets, is now supported. And some changes: the Settings app's shell UI has been drastically improved; the launcher BFB is now half-transparent, and fits in with the rest of the default Yaru icons, similar to Ubuntu Unity's custom BFB for Unity 7.5 in 21.04."
