While using Flutter, the installer is themed well and fits in with the GNOME Shell based Ubuntu desktop and doesn't look too different from the existing Ubiquity installer.įunctionality like one-click setup of fully encrypted disks is sadly not in place yet.

Canonical has been investing heavily in Flutter work on Linux and is focusing on this toolkit for their original applications moving forward. The new installer is built using Google's Flutter toolkit. With a new daily preview build of Ubuntu's new installer and today's call for feedback on the new installer, I decided to give it a shot with this fresh ISO.
