Check Out Ubuntu’s Slick New Promotional Video

Joey Sneddon tells us of the release of a new promotional video celebrating the release of Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Joey describes the video as "pretty awesome!". Joey tells us the video "focuses less on the specific features and more on capabilities" and thus is a "fantastic appetiser". We are also told the video is created by Videohive; a free and open source software, with an embedded video link provided.
