After an 18 Month Gap, Opera for Linux Returns With New Stable Release
================================================================================
**The first stable release of Opera for Linux in more than 18 months is now available for download.**
![Hello again, Opera!](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/iopera.jpg)
Hello again, Opera!
Opera for Computers for Linux 26 (no really, thats its name) features a complete top-to-bottom overhaul, new features, and better performance thanks to its Aura and Blink underpinnings (yes, its no longer based on the proprietary Presto web engine).
#### Features ####
The browser [wiggled its toes in tux-friendly waters back in June with the launch of a developer preview][1], but if you last tried Opera when it looked like this, youll want to grab some smelling salts: things have changed.

<iframe width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-kS10C2BUOs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Alongside an impressive new look and blazing fast, standards-compliant rendering engine come many new and improved features.
- **Discover** — Shows articles from around the web in a range of categories
- **Speed Dial** — Supports interactive widgets, folders, and themes
- **Tab Peek** — Preview the content of an open tab without switching back to it
- **Opera Turbo** — Data-saving mode ideal for patchy connections
- **Rich bookmarking** — including new sharing functionality
- **Add-ons** — compatible with Chrome extensions, too
- **Support for HiDPI displays on Linux**
### Download Opera for Linux 26 ###
Opera say those running Opera 12.6 on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu still supported by Canonical will automatically receive this new update through the Ubuntu Software Center.
But in all honesty Im not sure anyone is in that boat! So, helpfully, a Debian installer can be downloaded from the Opera website. This will also add the Opera repository to your Software Sources to enable you to receive future updates in a timely fashion.
- [Download Opera for Computers for Linux 26][2]
Feel free to kit your new browser out with our nifty Opera Add-On, too:
- [Install OMG! Ubuntu! Opera Extension][3]
#### Important Notice about Linux Support ####
**Opera for Linux is 64-bit only**. The company say this decision was made based on what most Linux desktop users have installed. While annoying it is part of a larger overall trend away from 32-bit software, with Opera for Mac also being 64-bit exclusive, too.
In another case of “spending limited resources wisely”, this release is only being officially supported on Ubuntu (and buntu-based derivatives, including Linux Mint).
Users on other distributions, from Arch to openSUSE, can still install Opera for Linux but will need to [use a (fairly simple) workaround][4] or hunt down an unofficial repository.
**If you give it a spin let us know what you make of it in the comments below.**

Firefox 34 Arrives with Plugin-Free Video Calling and Powerful WebIDE
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/firefox-banner.jpg)
**Its been a busy few months for Mozilla, what with agreeing to a deal to switch its default search provider to Yahoo!, launching a custom version of its browser packed full of developer goodies, and launching Firefox OS handsets in new territories.**
Today, Mozilla has released Firefox 34 for Windows, Mac and Linux desktops, the first stable release since last months security n bug fix update.
### Headline Feature ###
Despite the rapid release cycle Mozilla once again manages to deliver some great new features.
Making its first appearance in a stable release is **Firefox Hello**, Mozillas WebRTC feature.
Though not enabled for all (you can manually turn it on via about:config), the feature bring plugin-free video and voice calls to the browser. No Skype, no add-ons, no hassle. You simple click the Firefox Hello icon, send your share link to the recipient to initiate a connection (assuming theyre also using a WebRTC-enabled browser, like Google Chrome or Opera).
![The Hello Firefox Popup](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/hello-firefox.jpg)
The Hello Firefox Popup
Signing in with a Firefox account will give you more features, including a contacts book with one-click calling (no need to share links).
#### Other Changes ####
Version 34 also makes it easier to **switch themes** (formerly known as personas), with live previews and a switcher menu now available on the **Customising canvas**:
![Ad-hoc theme switching](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/firefox-theme-switcher.jpg)
Ad-hoc theme switching
The first major search engine change arrives in this release, with Yandex shipping as default for Belarusian, Kazakh, and Russian locales. Yahoo! will be enabled for US users in the near future. But remember: [this does not affect the version of Firefox provided in Ubuntu][1].
US users get secure **HTTPS** Wikipedia searching from the search box:
![Secure Wikipedia Searches for English US Users](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/firefox-https-search-for-wikipedia.jpg)
Secure Wikipedia Searches for English US Users
In addition to improved HTML5 support (largely around WebCrypto features) a [**new WebIDE tool**][2] ships in this release, and is packed full of great tools for developers.
From Android connectivity and an in-app editor to support for deploying and testing apps in a Firefox OS simulator. If you havent tried Firefox OS in a while, v2.2 (unstable) has plenty to play with including edge swiping, new home screen arranging features, and some new APIs.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/firefox-webide.jpg)
### Download Firefox 34 ###
Canonical will roll out Firefox 34 to users of Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 14.10 in the next 24 hours or so, so keep an eye out. If youre super impatient the release can also be downloaded from Mozilla servers directly.

From Mint to Trisquel: The Top Linux Distro Releases in November 2014
================================================================================
**November wasnt heavy on new Linux distribution releases, but still had more than enough to keep distro-hoppers bouncing from download server to ISO mirror and back again.**
From the free software ethic of **Trisquel** to the nostalgic glow of **Ubuntu MATE**, lets take a look at the major Linux distribution releases made in November 2014.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/linux-mint-17.jpg)
### Linux Mint 17.1 ###
Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca is the big hitter on this list, going stable just in time to make it.
Based on Ubuntu 14.04 and using Linux kernel 3.13, the update also comes loaded with the **latest [Cinnamon 2.4][1] desktop environment, a customisable version of the Nemo file manager**, and improvements to the Update Manager to make package upgrades safer, saner and swifter.
Other changes see the **Background**, **Login** and **Theme** settings panes redesigned, and **Privacy and Notification sections** added. The default **system font has been switched to Noto Sans**, while fans of customisation will enjoy new colors added to the Mint-X theme package.
Linux Mint 17.1 delivers a set of solid, well thought out changes and performance improvements, important for an LTS release supported until 2019.
More information and those all important downloads can be found on the official project website.
- [Visit the Linux Mint Website][2]
### Ubuntu Mate 14.04 LTS ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ubuntu-mate-lts.jpg)
It may have [arrived after the release of Ubuntu MATE 14.10][3] (**timey-wimey**), but as the first Long Term Support release of the flavor Ubuntu MATE 14.04 was welcomed with warm arms, especially by those who love to bask in the green-hued glow of GNOME 2 nostalgia.
Packed with security updates, MATE 1.8.1, and new software included out of the box, Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS is a notable update with plenty to tempt those on the newer (but older) 14.10 release.
For full hardware requirements, support information and download links, head on over to the official project website.
- [Download Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS][4]
### Trisquel 7.0 ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/trisquel-7-300x224.jpg)
The [latest stable release of Trisquel][5], an Ubuntu-based distribution endorsed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), arrived in the middle of November — and was met by **a lot** of interest.
The free (as in freedom) distribution is built on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but ships without any of the proprietary bits and pieces. Its a “pure” Linux experience that may require some workarounds, but serves to flag up the areas where more attention is needed in FOSS hardware support and app alternatives.
The Libre Linux 3.13 Kernel, GNOME 3.12 Flashback desktop and the Firefox-based Abrowser 33 are among the changes to be found in Trisquel 7.
- [Download Trisquel 7][6]
### Other Notable Releases ###
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/opensuse-desktop-kde.jpg)
Outside of the Ubuntu-based bubble November 2014 saw releases of other popular Linux distributions, including beta milestones of Mageia 5 and Fedora 21, and a new stable release of Scientific Linux 6.6.
Joining them is openSUSE 13.2 (stable) — the first release to follow a change in the way openSUSE development takes place, the first to adopt the new openSUSE design guidelines and the first to ship with a streamlined (if still unwieldy) installer.
The release has been getting great reviews from the geek press, who gave particular praise for the GNOME 3.14 implementation.
Coming from Ubuntu, where “everything just works”, the cultural and technical gulf can be daunting at first. But if you have some free time, like the color green and relish a challenge, the official openSUSE 13.2 [release announcement][7] should be your starting point.
**Have you tried any of these releases above? Let us know what you made of them in the space down below .**

Official Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn T-Shirts Now Available to Buy
================================================================================
![ubuntu-tshirt-runner](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ubuntu-tshirt-runner.jpg)
**For a while it looked like an official mascot t-shirt to accompany the release of Ubuntu 14.10 would be as rare as the Unicorn fronting it. But, today, the Canonical Store was finally furnished with the fan-favourite merch item.**
The shirt is available to buy in either dusk blue (mens fit) or hot pink (womens fit), but aesthetic and form aside the design is the same. Each shirt is emblazoned with the custom origami Utopic Unicorn emblem designed by Canonical. On the reverse of each shirt is the Ubuntu logotype and the words “Utopic Unicorn 14.10“, helping you promote the OS from the back as well as the front — I like it!
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/unicorn-t-shirt.jpg)
Available in small to XX-Large for mens, and womens sizes spanning 8-10 through 14-16, each t-shirt is priced at £11 in the UK, $17.45 in the US and €13.42 in Europe. A little higher than previous years and, as ever, minus postage/shipping and packaging.
- [Buy Mens Ubuntu 14.10 T-Shirt][1]
- [Buy Womens Ubuntu 14.10 T-Shirt][2]
Mascot t-shirts have been a staple of each Ubuntu release since as far back as version 8.04 Hardy Heron though they typically see release prior to the OS itself.
If youre not a fan of this particular release youll find a limited number of older mascot-matched merchandise still available to buy and at a reduced price. So if youd rather strut your stuff with a Salamander, promote a Pangolin or look tahr-iffic in a Trusty design, be sure to check out [the Sale section][3].

The Easy Way to Keep Track of Multiple Time Zones in Ubuntu
================================================================================
![date-time](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/date-time.jpg)
**Whether Im making sure that a tweet about a Chromebook sale in Australia hits those down under when awake or scheduling a Skype call with *Sam Tran*, the developer half of Ohso, I work with multiple time zones in mind.**
And therein lies a problem. If you know me youll know that I have the memory capacity of a goldfish running Windows Vista (i.e., not very good). I can barely recall what I got up to yesterday, much less remember the time differential between my door and the foot of Golden Gate bridge!
To help, I use widgets and menu items to keep me in sync. I move across multiple operating systems in the space of a regular working day, mobile and desktop, but only one lets me set up world clocks the quickest and easiest.
**And it happens to be the one whose name is above the door.**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/timezones-300x180.jpg)
### Add World Clocks to Ubuntu Date/Time Applet ###
The default date-time indicator in Unity comes with supports for adding and viewing multiple time zones. No add-ons, no extra packages required.
1. Click on the clock applet and select the **Time & Date Settings** entry
1. In the **Clock** tab, check the box next to **Time in Other Locations**
1. Click the **Choose Locations** button
1. Tap **+** and enter the name of the location
#### Other Desktop Environments ####
The default clock applet in **KDE Plasma** has a similar feature and flow:
1. Right-click on the digital clock widget and select **Digital Clock Settings**
1. Click the **Time Zones** section
1. Enter the name of a city in the search field
1. Click **Ok**
The extensible nature of **GNOME Shell** sees a slew of World Clock options available to fill the gap left by its default time ticker, with [multi clock][1] being my personal favourite. The same goes again for **Cinnamon**, whose panel applet repository has ample choices, like the super slick “**World Clock Calendar**” .
![World Clock Calendar in Cinnamon 2.4](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/cinnamon-applet.jpg)
World Clock Calendar in Cinnamon 2.4
**XFCE** and **LXDE** arent quite as generous, with the only out-of-the-box “workarounds” being **multiple clocks** added to the panel, each manually configured to a given locale. Both do support indicator applets, so if youre not dependent on Unity you can install/add the standalone date/time indicator.
**Budgie** is a little too young to make corner case demands of, while Pantheon I havent tried — Ill let you fill me in on that score in the comments.
#### Desktop Apps, Widgets & Conky Themes ####
Of course, panel applets are just one way to keep tabs of the time in other countries multiple time zones. If youre not fussed about panel access there are various **desktop apps** available, many of which work cross-distro and/or cross-platform.
**GNOME Clocks** is one such app and is available to install straight from the Ubuntu Software Center in 14.04 LTS+. **Conky** is a potential alternative (though I havent yet found a pre-made theme designed for the purpose) and lightweight Chrome Apps like [Calendar Clock][2] will work anywhere Chrome does, free of the browser.
**Do you keep tabs on time zones? If so, what app, method or widget do you use to stay on top? **
