Hey :)

I just wanna let you know I built Ubuntu ISO image with integrated COSMIC DE, which is building on my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~hepp3n/+archive/ubuntu/cosmic-epoch

Currently updating to epoch-1.0.16. The debs are directly from upstream, rebuild on launchpad with amd64v3 enabled (not recommended tho).

The iso have baked PPA for updating DE binaries. Ubuntu/GNOME sessions are removed with most of the GNOME packages.

The experience is nice, if you like Ubuntu and COSMIC it should fit your needs ^^

Some of the more interesting points:

  • transition from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker
  • package-agnostic App Center
  • simplified installation experience that dramatically reduces complexity during partitioning and storage configuration
  • new onboarding experience that moves personalization and system setup into a dedicated first-boot experience. Rather than asking users to make every decision during installation
  • on-device speech-to-text engine integrated as a native desktop input method, providing a foundation for fast, private, and offline voice interaction

I just upgraded to 26.04 and had to spend some time researching and messing around before I found out a specific package was missing which solved my problems. That package is gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions!

So yea, after installing that package (with apt) and logging out and back in again, I opened the gnome extensions manager app/thing, and saw desktop icons NG, Ubuntu Appindicators, Tiling Assistant & Dock extensions are all present.

Just thought I'd make this post so that in the off chance someone has the same issue and looks for the solution on lemmy, they can see this and know the solution?

:picklerick: Die Bedeutung des Wortes Ubuntu:

Ubuntu, ausgesprochen [ùɓúntú], bezeichnet eine Lebensphilosophie, die im alltäglichen Leben aus afrikanischen Überlieferungen heraus vor allem im südlichen Afrika praktiziert wird.

Das Wort Ubuntu kommt aus den Bantusprachen der Zulu und der Xhosa und bedeutet wörtlich "Ich bin, weil du bist"

Ubuntu kann aufgefasst werden als „gemeinsam zu Menschen werden, einander wechselseitig menschlich machen

:cannabis: Ubuntu, auch Ubuntu Linux, ist eine GNU/Linux-Distribution, die auf Debian basiert. Die Entwickler verfolgen mit dem System das Ziel, ein einfach zu installierendes und leicht zu bedienendes Betriebssystem mit aufeinander abgestimmter Software zu schaffen.

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS about a year ago. Now that 26.04 is out, I was planning to upgrade, but instead I think I'm going to wipe and re-install from scratch. Does anyone have any tips or tweaks they recommend for new installs? Things like, do or don't encrypt the drive during the install process, make an administrator account separate from your regular user account? I already plan to install the Flatpak repo and the Gnome Software Center.

Thanks!

Voici la trouvaille du jour suite au rangement de ma cave : un install CD d'Ubuntu pour PowerPC (G3, G4 et G5) !

Presque envie d'essayer sur un ancien ordinateur Apple 😇

Mon envie de passer sour Ubuntu commence à dater 🤣

On my Kubuntu 24.04 system I've replaced the Firefox snap package with the proper apt one from Mozilla (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions).
I've done this previously on 22.04, but on do-release-upgrade to 24.04 it got undone and I had to manually set things right again. With the upcoming 26.04 release I'm wondering if there's a way to tell do-release-upgrade to leave my installed *.deb packages on my system and not overwrite them with their snap counterpart?

For me, I'll be waiting for at least a point release in Ubuntu before I ever consider migrating any machines. Then I'll check against the forums and any security announcements.
