Canonical announces the availability of Ubuntu Desktop 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”, the great novelty of which lies in the standard adoption of Azure AD authentication.
The Linux world is getting a little closer to the Microsoft professional world…” Lunar Lobster », the new version ofFree Desktop becomes the first (and so far only) Linux distribution to include a authentication Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to authenticate directly and with the same credentials on the Linux desktop and on the Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure universes.
What seriously seduce a little more mainly Windows network administrators who want to better integrate Linux workstations into their infrastructure. Especially since at the same time Microsoft has also integrated support for Ubuntu Linux into the Microsoft Intune fleet management tool.
However, this major addition is not the only novelty of this version 23.04 of Ubuntu. We note in particular the arrival of a new installation tool (designed with Flutter for the record) which is more accessible, more user-friendly but also more consistent with the server version, more complete management of Snap and integration of the GNOME 44 interface, which gains in user-friendliness, integrates a “Dark” mode and improves the management of Bluetooth peripherals.
“This milestone release of Ubuntu demonstrates our progress in improving enterprise developer desktops through our Linux integration with Active Directory Domain Services and now Azure Active Directory,” said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical.
