Zukunft von Ubuntu Unity ungewiss: Entwickler suchen dringend Unterstützung https://fosstopia.de/ubuntu-unity-vor-dem-aus/ #UbuntuUnity #UbuntuUnity25.10 #UnityDesktop

Some FOSS projects just baffle me on the tools they use for community interaction. I just wanted to ask the Unity Desktop team a question and they only use proprietary tools like discourse, Twitter and reddit. They offer a bridge to matrix but nothing more.

Is this odd, or is it just me?

#unitydesktop

This morning I woke up and discovered my #Ubuntu had magically switched from #UnityDesktop to #Gnome (several months after install). Looked great, better native screenshot commands, Play & Previous/Next Track keys finally work.

But many small issues arose: unable to remap Calculator key, some custom .desktop files stopped showing icons and are not lockable on dashboard, cursor disappears in Chrome on click (?).

I rebooted to at least fix the cursor, and... it started on Unity desktop again.

Ubuntu Unity 24.04 LTS is coming, and it's going to use Calamares as the installer.

An Ubuntu Unity live session, with the Calamares installation system performing the install process. The user is on the "Install" screen. The following words are displayed on the screen: "Thank you for choosing Ubuntu Unity. The installation process should finish soon."

@mikegrindle nice write-up. Peppermint is a lovely choice.

I use Linux everywhere as well (#Xubuntu since #UnityDesktop was introduced, but I'm warming to #ZorinOS lately), and the last time I bought a brand-new laptop was ten years ago. I favour #Thinkpad and #Dell #Latitude.

I really enjoy using #KDEplasma and #KDE 5. Which is great because when I first started my Linux adventure it was with Gnome 2.x then #UnityDesktop though not that customizable was an exciting, useful and forward thinking. Over that time I tried KDE but I never liked plasma 4. Then #Ubuntu moved back to Gnome, and I couldn't get into it. Tried MATE for a bit until settling into KDE5 with Kubuntu. Been loving it since and looking forward to eventually KDE6.
