I have received a VM from a colleague that contains an Ubuntu (16.04 LTS ) based environment. The sound server is Pipewire, as it was in 22.10.The context is: Windows laptop running Virtual Box. All the other bundled apps are conventionally packaged, including the new LibreOffice 7.5.2, complete with colorful new icons – although Ubuntu's developers have tweaked them slightly. The trusty GEdit has gone, replaced by the new Text Editor that debuted in GNOME 42.Īlso as usual, a few Snap packages are preinstalled, notably Firefox 111 and the Snap Store. These include Ubuntu Dock, its fork of the Dash to Dock extension DING, or Desktop Icons Next Generation and its AppIndicator extension, which continues to support the old status icons that the GNOME development team desperately want to banish forever. As usual, Ubuntu has applied its own custom Yaru theme, and its mild customizations to GNOME to make it a little friendlier hint at the old Unity look. The default desktop is GNOME 44, which we already looked at in beta form, as well as its release candidate version. There's a new thinner font in the top panel, and the beta uses the new "Subiquity" installer, built with Google's Flutter GUI toolkit. Had enough of Android? First 'Focal' based Ubuntu Touch is outĮven during the installation stage, Lunar looks a little different.It's official: Ubuntu Cinnamon remix has been voted in.Version 100 of the MIT Lisp Machine software recovered.OpenMandriva Rome version 23.03 is out now.Once you enable it, it is instantly available without a reboot. Although off by default, fractional scaling works in both. This version has the latest kernel 6.2 and ran very smoothly on the X1 Carbon, with both display servers.
