The official design and accompanying mascot for Ubuntu 24.10 \u2018Oracular Oriole\u2019 have been unveiled, featuring a unique celebration of the distro’s 20th anniversary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No need for prophecy to foresee that the newly adopted mascot would be at the heart of Ubuntu 24.10’s default wallpaper. Since Ubuntu 17.10 \u2018Artful Aardvark\u2019<\/a>, animal icons have consistently appeared in the standard backgrounds.<\/p>\n

The wallpapers generally adopt a predictable pattern: a purple gradient, subtle embellishments along the borders, and a line-drawn depiction of the release\u2019s featured animal at the center.<\/p>\n

For \u2018Oracular Oriole\u2019, a geometrically styled oriole sits at the core, encircled by layers of concentric circles, with designs resembling moons and mystical symbols that mirror the ‘oracular’ element of the name.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If the decadent purple tones of the background aren\u2019t to your tastes, Ubuntu once again ships with \u2018light\u2019 and \u2018dimmed\u2019 versions, with the latter being set when system dark mode is activated:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now, I know it\u2019ll sound twee and a tad pretentious, but I find the use of circles in the mascot artwork somewhat symbolic of Ubuntu and its community: the distro is very much the center point around which users, volunteers, developers, and enthusiasts coalesce and orbit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ubuntu 20th Anniversary Extras<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Alongside the new default<\/em> wallpaper are an updated set of backgrounds sourced from the community. Among them a fantastic modern remix of the original Ubuntu 4.10 \u2018Warty Warthog\u2019 wallpaper \u2013 not a 1:1 clone and, in my opinion, a better interpretation of it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As Ubuntu 24.10 is Ubuntu\u2019s 20th anniversary release (Ubuntu 4.10 debuted in October 2004) this \u2018remaster\u2019 drape will fit in very nicely with one of the celebratory easter eggs<\/a> included in 24.10 (I won\u2019t spoil which here, if you want to know, read that post).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Finally, in a further<\/em> nod to its past, Ubuntu 24.10 has introduced a new LTS legacy wallpaper package for installation. This package contains high-resolution versions of the default Ubuntu wallpapers from 6.06 LTS up to 24.04 LTS, including the iconic 8.04 design.<\/p>\n

If you are using the Ubuntu 24.10 daily builds, watch for the new wallpaper. It’s expected to be updated in the ubuntu-wallpapers<\/code> package soon, or you can check Ubuntu\u2019s release artwork assets folder<\/a> to download them directly from any operating system.<\/p>\n

Let me know your thoughts on this new wallpaper in the comments!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
