Ubuntu to try out new system installer |
 |
The Ubuntu desktop installer, Ubiquity, has been in service and largely unchanged for several years. The Ubuntu developers are planning changes to their desktop installer, merging it with the distribution's server system installer. "The current Ubuntu Desktop installer, Ubiquity, dates back to 2006. While still functional, Ubiquity hasn't seen significant feature development for some years and due to its legacy is becoming cumbersome to maintain. Meanwhile, a new installer for Ubuntu Server has been developed, called Subiquity, which uses curtin. Consolidating the installer for server and desktop on common technologies will mean we can deliver a consistent, robust, installation experience across the Ubuntu family and focus our efforts on maintaining a single code base." The new installer is expected to be included in Ubuntu 21.10, which will be available in October. |
