Ubuntu 16.04.2 uses version 4.8 of the Linux kernel, where the first two 16.04 LTS releases came with version 4.4. These updates are generally worth having as they offer improved hardware support, particularly for PCs and laptops that were released after the LTS was. It brings the Linux 4.8 kernel, plus an updated version of the X server that has been back-ported from Ubuntu 16.10. The biggest selling point of point release is an updated hardware stack.
Ubuntu 16.04.2 Changes: New Hardware Enablement Stack This is first of two 16.04 point releases planned for 2017, with Ubuntu 16.04.3 due in the summer. As you’d expect it rolls together all app updates, bug fixes and security fixes issued to the Xenial Xerus so far, and introduces a new hardware enablement stack.Īnyone who installs Ubuntu from the point release disc image won’t need to download as many post-install updates and patches as they would had they used a regular 16.04 LTS iso.
This is the second point release in the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS series. Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS is now available to download.
