Lubuntu outlines features for version 24.04 |
|
The Lubuntu team have published a blog post which outlines changes and features coming to the next version of their distribution. Lubuntu 24.04 "Nobel Numbat" will make the system installer more accessible, offer a minimal install option which will exclude Snap support, and offer an easier way to configure the SDDM login screen. The developers have also explained why they continue to use Calamares as Lubuntu's system installer rather than Ubiquity or Ubuntu's new installer: "The Ubuntu Desktop Team has recently been working on the new Ubuntu Desktop Installer. This tool, developed with Flutter and distributed as a snap, is intended to provide a frontend interface for Subiquity, which is the new installer for Ubuntu Server. They are attempting to replace Ubiquity, which is a noble mission. After thorough evaluation of the new installer, the decision was made not to adopt it for our use. We found that Calamares consistently and continuously outperforms the new installer in UI page performance and installation speed, and aligns more closely with our existing theming. Furthermore, the requirement for each flavor to create a separate snap for theming purposes presents a less than optimal solution." |
