No major design changes or new options to present in the existing installer — which makes sense: Ubiquity’s design and flow was based on lots of user testing. Ubuntu has one of the easiest, straight-forward installers out there, so as the adage says: don’t fix what’s not broken.</p><div><a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/ubuntu-new-flutter-installer-first-look" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/ubuntu-new-flutter-installer-first-look </a></div>stuartinfijihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616942892213653449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773520753934364649.post-57864813391588708332022-04-22T10:07:00.002+12:002023-01-29T10:08:19.012+12:00Ubuntu 22.04 LTS – what’s new for the world’s most popular Linux desktop?<p> <img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,c_fill,w_720/https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/hudiV1JElIOeNNSTcnVRLCQ-Ekr_COZepxM_UBWmBZyDUeP3wzE9cGUyB8zZMNPiyQQXkmEmOssKNvs1VMvx58N5ayB6e8-eaiU0wHrr76_QdiD7M-vvbtce2LYJ6LsyS9YUGs2T" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,c_fill,w_1440/https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/hudiV1JElIOeNNSTcnVRLCQ-Ekr_COZepxM_UBWmBZyDUeP3wzE9cGUyB8zZMNPiyQQXkmEmOssKNvs1VMvx58N5ayB6e8-eaiU0wHrr76_QdiD7M-vvbtce2LYJ6LsyS9YUGs2T 2x" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0.125rem; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: center;" width="720" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.1rem; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 40em; padding-top: 0.4005rem;">Ubuntu 22.04 LTS brings more of everything you love about Ubuntu Desktop. More features and customisation options, more performance and power efficiency and more ways to integrate with your existing enterprise management tools. Combined with our <a href="https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0066cc; text-decoration-line: none;">LTS commitment</a> of five years of updates and security patching, we’re confident that this latest version of the Linux Desktop delivers everything needed to empower developers and creators in 2022 and beyond. <br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.1rem; margin-top: -0.5rem; max-width: 40em; padding-top: 0.4005rem;">For those who have been faithful to our Focal Fossa over the last two years, this latest release delivers a significant upgrade. And those who’ve joined us on our journey via the interim releases- Groovy Gorilla, Hirsute Hippo and Impish Indri- will still find lots of new surprises in Jammy Jellyfish.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.1rem; margin-top: -0.5rem; max-width: 40em; padding-top: 0.4005rem;">Let’s take a look at some of our highlights.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 2.22819rem; font-weight: 100; line-height: 3rem; margin-bottom: 0.8rem; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 40em; padding-top: 1.7rem;">GNOME 42</h2><figure class="wp-block-image" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-left: 0px; max-width: 40em; text-align: center; width: 640px;"><div class=" lazyloaded" data-noscript="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,c_fill,w_720/https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_2OJzPGP0UyIEfHVhPoHIoDulVDP0oyefLdG3TU2EnxuS3gBnRkJwTsNC5AaQhVz9DLVltWQfHrxuN274BNuaoeuYSTf6SLbj014vOGPmt_g5jfD8lBM5Zkmm6vWkLMadbysTG0I" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto,fl_sanitize,c_fill,w_1440/https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_2OJzPGP0UyIEfHVhPoHIoDulVDP0oyefLdG3TU2EnxuS3gBnRkJwTsNC5AaQhVz9DLVltWQfHrxuN274BNuaoeuYSTf6SLbj014vOGPmt_g5jfD8lBM5Zkmm6vWkLMadbysTG0I 2x" style="border-radius: 0.125rem; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="720" /></div></figure><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Ubuntu, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.1rem; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 40em; padding-top: 0.4005rem;">Jammy Jellyfish leapfrogs from GNOME 40 straight to GNOME 42 for our shell and most libraries.

If you want to tell everyone that you use Arch Linux you should install Arch Linux btw.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: var(--content-rythm) 0;">My distro of choice for desktop computing is <a href="https://linuxmint.com/download.php" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition</a>.

It takes much less resources on a PC than Windows. Linux is also known for working well on very old machines. I've personally taken old Windows laptops that were ready for the trash compactor and installed Linux on them, breathing into them new life and functionality. That's not to say Linux is only good for old machines! Most super computers nowadays run Linux because it's lightweight and fast.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: var(--ff-sans-serif); font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: calc(var(--content-rythm) * 2); padding: 0px;"><a class="anchor" href="https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f#9-great-for-development" name="9-great-for-development" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; top: -50px; visibility: hidden;"></a>9.

Yeah, VSCode works in Linux as well as ATOM, all of JetBrains stuff, and a lot more. There are tons of IDEs and compilers available on Linux. Since I was already used to using the terminal before I started my path towards software development it made running servers and doing general backend stuff feel more natural.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: var(--ff-sans-serif); font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: calc(var(--content-rythm) * 2); padding: 0px;"><a class="anchor" href="https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f#10-lots-of-software" name="10-lots-of-software" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; top: -50px; visibility: hidden;"></a>10.

You can install right from the terminal or most big distros have an AppStore-like software manager that allows you to install software from the GUI. There's tons of games, productivity apps, and more. Some of it is great and some of it kinda sucks, but you have the choice!</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: var(--ff-sans-serif); font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: calc(var(--content-rythm) * 2); padding: 0px;"><a class="anchor" href="https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f#11-gaming" name="11-gaming" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; top: -50px; visibility: hidden;"></a>11.

Steam runs beautifully on Linux with most of their games available for Linux as well. There are also other methods of getting your games on Linux too (watch the link above), and Anthony from Linus Tech Tips thinks that Linux is the future of gaming! Gaming hardware also works very nicely on Linux. I've been thinking about doing some gaming on Linux but I'll stick to my Nintendo Switch for now.</p><h1 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: var(--ff-sans-serif); font-size: 1.85em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25em; margin-top: calc(var(--content-rythm) * 2); padding: 0px;"><a class="anchor" href="https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f#where-linux-is-lacking" name="where-linux-is-lacking" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; top: -50px; visibility: hidden;"></a>Where Linux is Lacking</h1><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: var(--content-rythm) 0;">The only place where Linux is truly lacking is in the availability of specific software. More high level "creator" software like Photoshop and audio and video editing software tend to be unavailable on Linux. There are usually Linux alternatives but my understanding is that they don't compare to the originals. This doesn't personally affect me much since I don't do that, but I understand the pain of someone who wants software like this <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">and</em> wants to run Linux.</p><h1 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: var(--ff-sans-serif); font-size: 1.85em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.25em; margin-top: calc(var(--content-rythm) * 2); padding: 0px;"><a class="anchor" href="https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f#conclusion" name="conclusion" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; text-decoration-line: none; top: -50px; visibility: hidden;"></a>Conclusion</h1><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: var(--content-rythm) 0;">Linux is a much more robust operating system than it was even 5 years ago. As it continues to develop I wonder if more and more people will end up adopting it as their daily driver operating system. Yes, it has its drawbacks, but every OS does, not to mention Linux is always improving.</p></div></div><section class="text-padding mb-4 border-t-1 border-0 border-solid border-base-10" data-updated-at="2020-11-24 19:44:07 UTC" id="comments" style="border-color: var(--base-10) !important; border-style: solid !important; border-width: 1px 0px 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #08090a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: var(--su-4) !important; padding: var(--content-padding-y) var(--content-padding-x);"><header class="relative flex justify-between items-center mb-6" style="align-items: center !important; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex !important; justify-content: space-between !important; margin-bottom: var(--su-6) !important; position: relative !important;"></header></section><section class="text-padding mb-4 border-t-1 border-0 border-solid border-base-10" data-updated-at="2020-11-24 19:44:07 UTC" id="comments" style="border-color: var(--base-10) !important; border-style: solid !important; border-width: 1px 0px 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #08090a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: var(--su-4) !important; padding: var(--content-padding-y) var(--content-padding-x);"><br /></section><section class="text-padding mb-4 border-t-1 border-0 border-solid border-base-10" data-updated-at="2020-11-24 19:44:07 UTC" id="comments" style="border-color: var(--base-10) !important; border-style: solid !important; border-width: 1px 0px 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: var(--su-4) !important; padding: var(--content-padding-y) var(--content-padding-x);"><span style="color: #08090a; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol;">https://dev.to/wolfmath/11-reasons-i-love-linux-and-1-why-i-don-t-m1f</span></section>stuartinfijihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05616942892213653449noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773520753934364649.post-18804006708421398032020-03-10T13:16:00.001+12:002020-03-10T13:16:49.880+12:00Feeling Creative?

Unless you plan to install Windows 7, which is going to lose support from Microsoft on January 14, 2020, or have the cash to spare for an Apple device, there aren’t many other options for a computer operating system except some flavor of Linux.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although you can expect a learning curve when changing platforms, Windows users who are curious about the state of Linux for mainstream computing might come away surprisingly satisfied after finding a suitable distribution for their machine and spending time getting familiar with the new environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here are five-plus reasons why you could easily wind up preferring Linux instead of Windows as the default operating system on your desktop or laptop:</p>
<p dir="ltr">A curated software catalog like mobile <u>platforms</u><br>
A curated software catalog like mobile <u>platforms</u></p>
<p dir="ltr">Software known to be compatible with a specific version of Linux is maintained in a central catalog or “repository” akin to mobile platforms such as iOS or Android.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although you can download individual applications from websites and install them with a package manager that automates the process similar to Windows, finding new programs on Linux is generally as simple as searching for it in the software repository and clicking install. Deleting that application is also a single click.<br></p>

Like sands through the hour glass, so are the releases of Ubuntu. The folks at Canonical push out a new version of the popular GNU/Linux distribution every six months, and the next one is scheduled to ship April 18th, 2019.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But if you want to get an early look, Ubuntu 19.04 beta is available for download starting today.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While Ubuntu 19.04 is a relatively minor release, it should include a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements. It’s also the first version of Ubuntu to use the recently-released Linux 5.0 kernel and the default Yaru theme has been updated with better-looking icons for third-party applications.<br></p>

omgubuntu.co.uk: Ubuntu 19.04 is Named ‘Disco Dingo’. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/10/ubuntu-19-04-name-revealed</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/">OMG! Ubuntu!</a><br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>The name of Ubuntu 19.04 has been revealed — and it’s </b><i><b>definitely a distinctive decision!</b></i></p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/disco">As listed on Launchpad</a>, the home of Ubuntu development, the Ubuntu 19.04 name is logged as “Disco Dingo”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ubuntu 19.04 will be the next stable Ubuntu release and come backed by 9 months of updates. It’s due for release in April 2019.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thus far there’s no alliteratively littered blogpost from Ubuntu’s space-faring founder Mark Shuttleworth, the sort that would cement the new name within our collective consciousness, but in many ways the name speaks for itself…</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:1.30em;"><b>What’s in a name?</b></span></p>
<p dir="ltr">The codename of each Ubuntu release is traditionally made up of an adjective (a descriptive word) and an animal, both beginning with the same letter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But that’s only partly true this time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The word <b><a href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/disco">Disco</a></b> is actually both a noun and a verb rather than adjective. A disco is a type of club or party at which people dance to music, often under lights (known as discotheques, then shortened to just ‘disco’).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Discoing also something you can do, e.g., ‘Mark Shuttleworth discoed all night to Spice Girls records’. Disco is also a specific genre of dance music and a specific genre of dancing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/d/dingo/"><b>Dingo</b></a> is a type of feral dog native to Australia and known for its sand-coloured coat. Dingos hunt alone or in cooperative packs. Inspired by the nature of the Dingo (which often sulks off when humans are around) the word has become informal Australian slang meaning ‘cowardly’, e.g., ‘he dingoed his way out of the date’.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo is only the second Ubuntu release to use the letter ‘D’, following Ubuntu 6.06 “Dapper Drake”, released back in the land before time, aka 2006.</p>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUGlgaRwUMam2HGdHwiUR4OUFvHJuMErmBDIutvQ8YgtL9E29tIxADNyV4PPnyPSn10CQcRqcRy0RvMdrZxoLLq-QgQNYIIUWIqkPIgTCF62ZK6jvLhfqO9w2sxUSHZW1d0WV9rUPUFPQ/s1600/communitheme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="848" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUGlgaRwUMam2HGdHwiUR4OUFvHJuMErmBDIutvQ8YgtL9E29tIxADNyV4PPnyPSn10CQcRqcRy0RvMdrZxoLLq-QgQNYIIUWIqkPIgTCF62ZK6jvLhfqO9w2sxUSHZW1d0WV9rUPUFPQ/s320/communitheme.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Communitheme, the theme that was originally developed for Ubuntu 18.04, will be the new default theme in 18.10. This is a whole new, fresh look to Ubuntu. The developers are still working on the theme and there may be more changes and style updates. As of Late July 2018, Communitheme is known by its new name – Yaru.<br />
<br />
<h3>
GNOME 3.30</h3>
The newest version of GNOME, 3.30, is scheduled for release this September, which means it’s likely that Ubuntu 18.10 will use the newest version of GNOME, though this still hasn’t been confirmed.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Android Integration by Default</h3>
<br />
Ubuntu 18.10 will likely ship with an Android integration app by default. GSconnect will be installed by default, which means that you’ll be able to integrate your Ubuntu 18.10 with your Android phone – this enables viewing phone notifications on your desktop, transferring files, and more.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Linux Kernel 5.0</h3>
The new Kernel version (5.0) is scheduled for release this year, most probably before the official release of Ubuntu 18.10, which makes it a perfect candidate for 18.10. Again, nothing has been confirmed yet. Although a new major version number, there won’t be any major changes or new features in the kernel.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Low Bandwidth Mode in 18.10</h3>
Although already available, it may be more accessible and easier to find. You can enable a “low bandwidth” mode on Ubuntu 18.10 to save data. This is especially useful if your internet provider has a bandwidth cap, or if you’re using your mobile phone’s data.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Other things</h3>
There are other “minor” changes and updates in 18.10 worth mentioning:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The development team is exploring options for improving the laptop battery life</li>
<li>Snaps will be improved – faster boot time, better looks</li>
<li>Faster booting. They worked on this for 18.04. Boot time should be even faster in 18.10</li>
<li>Better support for multiple monitors</li>
<li>You may be able to unlock 18.10 with a fingerprint scanner</li>
<li>and a lot more improvements and bug fixes</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
When will I be able to update from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 18.10?</h3>
If you do it manually, whenever you feel like it. Just download the daily build and start testing. If not, wait for the official release. You can upgrade to a development release (-d) with the following command:<br />
<h2>
<i>sudo do-release-upgrade -d</i></h2>
<h3>
How can I help with the development of Ubuntu 18.10?</h3>
<br />
First of all, every bit helps. You don’t have to be a developer to help. You can help by translating, spreading the word, and donating. You can help by simply using the 18.10 release and reporting any bugs you come across.<br />

Ars is working on a full review of the release, but I wanted to share some first impressions of the desktop, which is a major advance over the last LTS version.<br />
<br />
Canonical made a bit of a U-turn in its interface plans while developing the last interim release of Ubuntu (17.10, codenamed "Artful Aardvark")—dropping development of its homegrown Unity interface and application launcher (as well as development of an Ubuntu phone), saying goodbye to the Ambiance interface theme of old and embracing the GNOME 3.28 desktop instead. Also significant is the integration of Snapcraft's "snap" format—a universal containerized installer format for packaged applications on all Linux platforms—into Ubuntu's application store.<br />
<br />
Ubuntu had settled on the Wayland display server for 17.10 as a default because Canonical wanted to boost 3D graphics capabilities, but it has switched back to X.org graphics server as the default for 18.04, mostly because Wayland's support for screen sharing in applications such as Google Hangouts and Skype isn't quite there. There is also support for remote desktop applications based on RDP and VNC, according to Canonical's Desktop Engineering Manager Will Cooke, and "recoverability from Shell crashes is less dramatic under Xorg." But Wayland is still pre-installed and can be selected at login, and Cooke said that Canonical would take another look at making it default for version 18.10.<br />

<br />
Codenamed ‘Bionic Beaver’, the Ubuntu 18.04 release is the first long-term support edition of the popular Linux-based Ubuntu operating system in two years. It comes with 5 years of support and updates from Canonical.<br />

<br />
<br />
Which is huge — you won’t have to upgrade again until well into the next decade!<br />
<br />
New Ubuntu 18.04 features include the GNOME Shell desktop, a slate of updated software, and a promising preview of next-gen open source technology Wayland.<br />
<br />
A lot has happened in Ubuntu land since the last LTS, Ubuntu 16.04, was released. Read on for a comprehensive rundown of everything that’s new in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, to watch our Ubuntu 18.04 LTS video, and to grab an Ubuntu 18.04 download of your own.<br />
<br />
Ubuntu 18.04 is the most exciting release of Ubuntu in years. Having helped test it for the past week or so I’d go as far as to say it is the best Ubuntu release.<br />
<br />
‘It might be the best Ubuntu release in recent memory’<br />
<br />
Long Term Support releases typically focus more on conservative software refinement than they do on major changes. Traditionally this isn’t a bad thing, and people opt to ride an LTS release for the reassurance of ongoing support.<br />
<br />
Not so with the “Bionic Beaver.”<br />
<br />
For those upgrading from 16.04 Ubuntu 18.04 is arguably the single biggest Ubuntu release in recent memory.<br />
<br />
Almost every part of the OS is different, improved or new. There’s a new desktop, new kernel, new apps, new lock screen,new workflow, and more:<br />
