Impish Indri is the final interim release before Canonical’s next Ubuntu long-term support, which is due to be released in April of 2022. Ubuntu 21.10 allows developers to future-proof their work for the next LTS, which will be supported for at least 10 years. Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical said:

“As open source becomes the new default, we aim to bring Ubuntu to all the corners of the enterprise and all the places developers want to innovate. From the biggest public clouds to the tiniest devices, from DGX servers to Windows WSL workstations, open source is the springboard for new ideas and Ubuntu makes that springboard safe, secure and consistent.”

Download Ubuntu 21.10 DVD ISO images

Canonical suggest using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for users who prefer long-term support. ISO files and flashable images can be downloaded from Ubuntu’s official website.
