Ubuntu 22.10: Top New Features and Release Wiki
|
||||
======
|
||||
Here’s the list of new features and tech which is coming up in Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu.
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu Desktop (dev)][1]
|
||||
|
||||
The development of Ubuntu 22.10 is almost at the finishing stage, and the BETA is out. At this stage, features are frozen, and only testing/bug fixes are ongoing for Ubuntu 22.10.
|
||||
|
||||
In this article, I will touch upon the essential features of Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu. But before that, a quick summary of the schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 22.10 BETA was released on September 29, 2022, and it’s currently under testing.
|
||||
|
||||
The final release of Ubuntu 22.10 is on October 20, 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
Since it is a short-term release, it is supported for nine months until July 20, 2023.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu Desktop: Top Features
|
||||
|
||||
Following the letter-based code name, we are at “K” following the “J” of Jammy Jellyfish. This version is code-named “Kinetic Kudu”, named after a [long-horned animal species][2] found in Africa.
|
||||
|
||||
All the packages and repos are named as “kinetic” in applicable places for this release.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Linux Kernel
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 22.10 features Linux Kernel 5.19, which was released a few days back. The current mainline kernel, which is dubbed as [version 6.0][3], won’t feature in this version due to a schedule mismatch.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Kernel 5.19 brings regular updates across CPU, GPU and other peripherals. Significant features in this Kernel include multi-platform ARM support, LoongArch arch support, support for AMD RDNA, CDNA, Intel’s Raptor Lake and many important updates. You can read in detail about its new features on [this page][4].
|
||||
|
||||
#### GNOME 43
|
||||
|
||||
In Ubuntu 22.10, GNOME 43 is the base desktop version. GNOME 43 is an impressive release in terms of features and work around the GTK4 and libadwaita. A lot of features which was missed to reach in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, finally arrived in this version.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the feature list is vast, I will try to summarize it here.
|
||||
|
||||
First and foremost, GNOME Shell gets high-resolution scroll wheel support, colour support in server decoration, and improved animation and performance all around the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, the vital app – Files (Nautilus) 43 brings a vast set of tweaks after its migration to GTK4. In Files 43, you get the redesigned context menu, rubberband selection, adaptive sidebar, which auto-hides based on its size, emblems support and new GtkColumnView support for a better experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Third, the stunning [GNOME 43 quick settings][5] arrive in Ubuntu. The settings will give you easy access to several key items right from the tray.
|
||||
|
||||
Other important changes in GNOME 43 include:
|
||||
|
||||
* An updated properties dialog window with intelligent behaviour based on file types
|
||||
* GNOME Web gets web extension API support enabling you to install Firefox and Chrome add-ons
|
||||
* Improved context menu in Files sidebar
|
||||
* Updated app info page in Software
|
||||
|
||||
Don’t forget to review my detailed [GNOME 43 feature write-up][6] to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
#### New Settings Panel
|
||||
|
||||
There are some [key changes][7] arrive in the Settings panel. A new panel is introduced – “Ubuntu Desktop” which has the desktop icon and dock options. This panel is unavailable in vanilla GNOME (e.g. in Fedora Workstation).
|
||||
|
||||
![New Ubuntu desktop and Appearance tab in settings][8]
|
||||
|
||||
The Background tab is now merged with the Appearance tab. This essentially consolidates Ubuntu’s theming options to one single setting page. Effectively, it’s a good change and a wise UI decision. In addition, a new “Device Security Panel” is also introduced.
|
||||
|
||||
#### PipeWire by Default
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 22.10 is all about adopting the new tech, and leaving the legacy items behind. With that motto, in this release, the Pipewire sound server is made default for the first time in Ubuntu. PulseAudio will still be there but inactive for now.
|
||||
|
||||
For those folks in Audio recording, mixing work would greatly benefit from this.
|
||||
|
||||
#### IWD replacing the wpa_supplicant
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, with PipeWire, another new tech adoption is coming in Ubuntu 22.10. The legacy `wpa_supplicant` wireless module is changing, and IWD (iNet Wireless Daemon) is replacing it. The IWD was developed by Intel, and it had certain advantages and more features over wpa_supplicant.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides, the wpa_supplicant is almost two decades old and served its purpose in GNU/Linux and BSD systems.
|
||||
|
||||
In my personal experience, I had some difficult experiences with wpa_supplicant, which manages the Wi-Fi connections. For example, sudden disconnection, and not waking up the Wi-Fi after standby, to name a few.
|
||||
|
||||
With the modern IWD, I hope the continuous struggle with several users with Ubuntu and Wi-Fi shall disappear. If you want to learn more about IWD, you can read some excellent discussions [here][9] and [here][10].
|
||||
|
||||
#### Official desktop flavours
|
||||
|
||||
All the official desktop flavours of Ubuntu are getting their current stable release. If you are already using Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE – well, you get the same version as the prior one. Because these desktops did not have a major upgrade recently.
|
||||
|
||||
Lubuntu users should get the recently released LXQt 1.1.0 desktop which brings additional features such as compact and a new application menu, new theming changes and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Kubuntu users should get KDE Plasma 5.25, which brings you some unique features such as a floating panel, dynamic accent colour and many [such exciting features][11].
|
||||
|
||||
Budgie lovers should get the new features that are under development via Ubuntu Budgie 22.10. I will write up a separate article on Budgie because of the changes.
|
||||
|
||||
So, in summary, you get [Xfce 4.16][12], MATE 1.24, KDE Plasma 5.25 and LXQt 1.1.0 as the desktop versions.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tool-chain updates
|
||||
|
||||
Now, it’s time to find out about the important packages and programming updates for developers. In this release, you get the following version upgrades for individual items.
|
||||
|
||||
* BlueZ 5.65
|
||||
* CUPS 2.4
|
||||
* Python 3.10.6
|
||||
* NetworkManager 1.38
|
||||
* Mesa 22
|
||||
* Pipewire 0.3.56
|
||||
* PulseAudio 16
|
||||
* xdg-desktop-portal 1.14
|
||||
|
||||
Although, I am not sure whether Python 3.11 will be ready ([currently in RC][13]) before release. I hope not.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Wallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, a brand new wallpaper featuring the official Kudu mascot is ready to give your desktop a nice touch.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Summary of the key changes in Ubuntu 22.10
|
||||
|
||||
* Linux Kernel 5.19
|
||||
* GNOME 43
|
||||
* Pipewire by default
|
||||
* IWD is replacing wpa_supplicant
|
||||
* KDE Plasma 5.25 in Kubuntu
|
||||
* LXQt 1.1.0 in Lubuntu
|
||||
* Firefox 104
|
||||

Kubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu: Top New Features
|
||||
======
|
||||
A brief summary of Kubuntu 22.10 “Kinetic Kudu” and additional information about the release.
|
||||
|
||||
![Kubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu Desktop][1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Kubuntu 22.10: Top New Features
|
||||
|
||||
Among all the [great KDE Plasma-based distributions][2], Kubuntu is the best. Because it brings stability to both Plasma and at its core, that is Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Kubuntu 22.10 is a short-term release based on Ubuntu 22.10 – supported for nine months from the release. Since short-term releases are to adopt the latest technologies, removing the obsolete ones, its features list is minimal.
|
||||
|
||||
This release of Kubuntu features Linux Kernel 5.19, which brings run-time Average Power Limiting (RAPL) support for Intel’s Raptor and Alder Lake processor, multiple families of ARM updates in mainline kernel and usual processor/GPU and file-system updates. Learn more about Kernel 5.19 features in [this article][3].
|
||||
|
||||
Compared to the prior [Kubuntu release 22.04 LTS][4] (with Plasma 5.24), you get the latest KDE Plasma 5.25 (final point release) desktop with all the bug fixes and updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Although, [KDE Plasma 5.26][5], which has just got released, could not make it to this version. But I believe it should come in as a point release, just not on the release day.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides, Plasma 5.25 is not small in terms of features. It’s, in fact, packed with new cool advancements. If you are especially using Kubuntu’s earlier version, you should be aware of these new items.
|
||||
|
||||
Firstly, Kubuntu 22.10 enables you to make your default panel “float”. We call it the Floating Panel. So, no more using the add-ons for this.
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, the accent colour of your desktop can change based on the wallpaper’s tone. Now you can see your Kubuntu desktop changes dynamically when you enable it from Settings > Global Theme > Colours.
|
||||
|
||||
![KDE Plasma - Dynamic Accent Colour and Floating Panel Demo][6]
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, switching between dark and light modes becomes more smooth thanks to the change. Also, in Kubuntu 22.10 with Wayland, you can now see and apply the display-specific resolutions in the settings dropdown.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, Discover is more friendly to Flatpak, with additional app details and an additional options button to notify you that there is still data for uninstalled apps.
|
||||
|
||||
![The app page gives more clarity in Plasma 5.25][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, the Krunner launcher in Kubuntu now detects the search language and display results accordingly. Also, the network manager applet now shows the Wi-Fi frequency alongside the access point name (this is help full for cases where you have the same access point name for 4G and 5G bands).
|
||||
|
||||
All of these changes are powered by Qt 5.15.6 and Framework 5.98. If you want to learn more about Plasma 5.25, refer to the dedicated feature guide [here][8].
|
||||
|
||||
### Other features of Kubuntu 22.10
|
||||
|
||||
The core applications and packages bump up to their respective versions based on Ubuntu 22.10, and here’s a summary.
|
||||
|
||||
* Linux Kernel 5.19
|
||||
* KDE Plasma 5.25.5 (hopefully will get 5.26 soon)
|
||||
* KDE Framework 5.98
|
||||
* Qt 5.15.6
|
||||
* Firefox 105.0.1
|
||||
* Thunderbird 102.3.2
|
||||
* LibreOffice 7.4.2.3
|
||||
* VLC Media Player 3.0.17
|
||||
* Pipewire replacing PulseAudio
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can download the Kubuntu 22.10 BETA from the below links.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
While the developers are preparing for the final release (due on Oct 20, 2022), you can try it on a [virtual machine][10], Or a physical system.

Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 Kinetic Kudu: Top New Features
|
||||
======
|
||||
Here’s a brief overview of the Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 (upcoming) and its features.
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 KInetic Kudu Desktop][1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu Budgie 22.10: Top New Features
|
||||
|
||||
The Budgie desktop has a different fan base because of its fusion of simplicity, feature and performance. Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 is an official Budgie flavour of Ubuntu, where you get the latest Ubuntu base with a stable Budgie desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 is a short-term release, supported for nine months until July 2023.
|
||||
|
||||
This release of Ubuntu Budgie features Linux Kernel 5.19, which brings run-time Average Power Limiting (RAPL) support for Intel’s Raptor and Alder Lake processor, multiple families of ARM updates in mainline kernel and usual processor/GPU and file-system updates. Learn more about Kernel 5.19 features in [this article][2].
|
||||
|
||||
At the heart of this version, Ubuntu Budgie is powered by Budgie Desktop version 10.6.4, which brings updated applications and additional core tweaks. If you are using the prior Ubuntu budgie version, i.e. 22.04 or 21.10, you will notice some changes. And you should be aware of those.
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, the Budgie Control Center gets modern protocols for screensharing (both RDP and VNC), enhanced fractional scaling and colour profile support for your monitor. In addition, the Control centre now shows the monitor refresh rate and additional support added for Wacom tablets.
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, Budgie desktop settings get a global option to control applets spacing and additional refinements.
|
||||
|
||||
After removing the calendar launcher, the clock at the top bar now only gives the launcher for date/time settings. You can access the Calendar from the applets at the extreme right of the top bar.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 fundamentally changed its application stack, which ships by default. Earlier (22.04 and prior), Budgie featured the GNOME applications as default for several desktop functions. Since GNOME is already moved to libadwaita/GTK4 with its own styling and theming, those apps wouldn’t look consistent in Budgie’s styling.
|
||||
|
||||
That is correct. Because these rounded corners with budgie/mate apps really look off.
|
||||
|
||||
![Budgie desktop with GTK4-libadwaita and MATE apps][3]
|
||||
|
||||
So, from this release onwards, the default app sets are slowly moving away from GNOME Apps to native or MATE apps/alternatives.
|
||||
|
||||
For Example, GNOME Calculator and System Monitor are now replaced by Mate Calculator and Mate system monitor. Atril document viewer replaces Evince reader. In addition, font-manager replaces GNOME Font Viewer, and a list of other GNOME apps are in “wait and watch” mode. They may get replaced in upcoming Budgie desktop point releases.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the text editor is still Gedit in this version, which is already a [great choice][4]. And a new native screenshot application debuts with a tweak tool for Raspberry Pi devices.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to learn more about this transition, read the discussion [here][5].
|
||||
|
||||
So, that’s about the core changes in this release and here’s a quick summary of Ubuntu Budgie alongside other applications.
|
||||

Celebrating KDE’s 26th Birthday With Some Inspiring Facts From Its Glorious Past!
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Wishing a Very Happy Birthday to **KDE**!
|
||||
|
||||
Let us celebrate this moment by looking back on its glorious history with some inspiring facts on this legendary and much-loved Desktop Environment!
|
||||
|
||||
![kde birthday][1]
|
||||
|
||||
### KDE’s Origin
|
||||
|
||||
**26 years ago**, [Matthias Ettrich][2] (a German Computer Scientist currently working at [HERE][3]) founded KDE.
|
||||
|
||||
![matthias 2950607241][4]
|
||||
|
||||
When Matthias was a student at the [Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen][5], he was not satisfied as a [Common Desktop Environment (CDE)][6] user.
|
||||
|
||||
CDE is a desktop environment for Unix.
|
||||
|
||||
However, he wanted an interface that was more comfortable, simpler, and easy to use, with a better look and feel.
|
||||
|
||||
So, in 1996, Matthias Ettrich announced the **Kool Desktop Environment (KDE)**, a GUI (graphical user interface) for Unix systems, built with Qt and C ++.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the full form of KDE was an innocent pun intended to CDE at the time. You do not usually say it as “Kool Desktop Environment”, just KDE as of now. You can read the [original announcement post][7] to get a dose of nostalgia.
|
||||
|
||||
**Trivia**: The official mascot of KDE is Konqi who has a girlfriend named Katie. Previously there used to be a wizard named [Kandalf][8] but was later replaced by Konqi because many people loved and preferred the mascot to be this charming and friendly dragon!
|
||||
|
||||
![Konqi is KDE's mascot. Katie is his girlfriend and mascot of KDE women's project.][9]
|
||||
|
||||
[Konqi][10]
|
||||
|
||||
[Katie][11]
|
||||
|
||||
And, here’s how it looked like with KDE mascot:

||||
|
||||
### 13 Interesting and Inspiring Facts on KDE
|
||||
|
||||
We’ve looked back into some interesting yet inspiring events that took place over the last 26 years of the KDE project:
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Early Development Events
|
||||
|
||||
15 developers met in Arnsberg, Germany, in 1997, to work on the KDE project and discuss its future. This event came to be known as [KDE One][13] followed by [KDE Two][14] and [KDE Three][15] and so on in the later years. They even had [one][16] for a beta version.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. The KDE Free Qt Foundation Agreement
|
||||
|
||||
The foundation agreement for the [KDE Free Qt Foundation][17] was signed by [KDE e.V.][18] and [Trolltech][19], then owner of the Qt Foundation who [ensured the permanent availability][20] of Qt as free software.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. First Stable Version
|
||||
|
||||
![kde 1][21]
|
||||
|
||||
The [first stable version][22] of KDE was released in **1998**, in addition to highlighting an application development framework, the [KOM/OpenParts][23], and an office suite preview. You can check out the [KDE 1.x Screenshots][24].
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. The KDE Women Initiative
|
||||
|
||||
The community women’s group, [KDE Women][25], was created and announced in March 2001 with the primary goal to increase the number of women in free software communities, particularly in KDE.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. 1 Million Commits
|
||||
|
||||
The community [reached 1 million commits][26] within a span of only 19 months, from 500,000 in January 2006 and 750,000 in December 2007, with the launch of KDE 4 at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. Release Candidate of Development Platform Announced
|
||||
|
||||
A [release candidate][27] of KDE’s development platform consisting of basic libraries and tools to develop KDE applications was announced on October 2007.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 7. First KDE & Qt event in India
|
||||
|
||||
The [first conference][28] of the KDE and Qt community in India happened in Bengaluru in March 2011 that became an annual event henceforth.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 8. GCompris and KDE
|
||||
|
||||
In **December 2014**, the educational software suite [GCompris joined][29] the [project incubator of KDE community][30] (We have [previously][31] discussed GCompris, which is bundled with Escuelas Linux, a comprehensive educational distro for teachers and students).
|
||||
|
||||
#### 9. KDE Slimbooks
|
||||
|
||||
In **2016**, the KDE community partnered with a Spanish laptop retailer and [announced the launch of the KDE Slimbook][32], an ultrabook with KDE Plasma and KDE Applications pre-installed. Slimbook offers a pre-installed version of [KDE Neon][33] and [can be purchased from their website][34].
|
||||
|
||||
#### 10. Transition to GitLab
|
||||
|
||||
In **2019**, KDE [migrated][35] from Phabricator to GitLab to enhance the development process and let new contributors easy access to the workflow. However, KDE still uses bugzilla for tracking bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 11. Adopts Decentralized Matrix Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
KDE added Matrix bridge to the IRC channels and powered up its native chat clients using the open-source decentralized Matrix protocol in **2019**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 12. KDE PinePhone
|
||||
|
||||
KDE developers teamed up with [PINE64][36] in **2020** to introduce a community edition PinePhone powered by KDE.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 13. Valve Picks KDE for Steam Deck
|
||||
|
||||
Steam Deck is undoubtedly a super trending Linux gaming console right now. And, Valve chose KDE as its desktop environment to make it work in **2021**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Today, KDE is Powered by Three Great Projects
|
||||
|
||||
#### KDE Plasma
|
||||
|
||||
Previously called Plasma Workspaces, KDE Plasma facilitates a unified workspace environment for running and managing applications on various devices like desktops, netbooks, tablets or even [smartphones][37].
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, [KDE Plasma 5.26][38] is the most recent version and was released some days ago. The KDE Plasma 5 project is the fifth generation of the desktop environment and is the successor to KDE Plasma 4.
|
||||
|
||||
#### KDE Applications
|
||||
|
||||
KDE Applications are a bundled set of applications and libraries designed by the KDE community. Most of these applications are cross-platform, though primarily made for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
A very [nice][39] project in this category is a music player called Elisa focused on an optimised integration with Plasma.
|
||||
|
||||
#### KDE Development Platform
|
||||
|
||||
The KDE Development Platform is what significantly empowers the above two initiatives, and is a collection of libraries and software frameworks released by KDE to promote better collaboration among the community to develop KDE software.
|
||||
|
||||
**Personal Note**: It was an honour covering this article on KDE’s Birthday and I would like to take this opportunity to brief some of my personal favourite KDE based apps and distros that I have extensively used in the past and continue to.
|
||||
|
||||

Top 10 Best Linux Distributions in 2022 For Everyone
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**We compiled a list of the 10 best Linux distributions for everyone in 2022 based on their stability, attractiveness and time required to configure after installation.**
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux Distribution space is heavily fragmented to the point that a new fork is being created almost daily. A very few of them are unique and bring something different to the table. Most of them are just the same Ubuntu or Debian based with a different theme or a wrapper.
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux distro landscape is so dynamic that it changes every month. Some Linux distributions become more stable with ever-changing packages and components, while others become unstable in quality. Hence, it’s challenging to pick and choose the best Linux distribution for your school, work or just casual browsing, watching movies, etc. Not to mention, many Linux distributions are discontinued yearly due to a lack of contributions, cost overruns and other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, we compiled the below 10 best Linux distributions in 2022, which are perfect for any user or use case. That includes casual dual-boot users with Windows 10 or 11, students, teachers, developers, creators, etc. Take a look.
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Linux Distributions of 2022
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Fedora KDE
|
||||
|
||||
The first Linux distribution, which I think is the best on this list, is Fedora Linux KDE Edition. The primary reason is that Fedora Linux is very stable with the latest tech, and KDE Plasma is super fast and perfect for all users. Moreover, this Fedora and KDE Plasma combination doesn’t require further modification or tweaks after installation. Over the last couple of releases and after the latest [Fedora 36][1] release feedback, Fedora Linux with KDE Plasma has become the go-to distribution for every possible use case and workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, KDE Plasma also brings KDE Applications and goodies, eliminating additional software you need. And with the help of Fedora repo and [RPM Fusion][2], you can blindly trust Fedora Linux with KDE Edition for your daily driver.
|
||||
|
||||
[![Fedora KDE Edition - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][3]][4]
|
||||
|
||||
On a side note, you can also consider the [Fedora Linux workstation][5] edition with GNOME if you prefer a GNOME-styled desktop. In addition, you might consider other [Fedora Spins][6] or [Fedora Labs][7] if you like a different desktop flavour.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Fedora KDE Edition here. Other downloads with [torrent details][8] are present here.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Fedora][9]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. KDE Neon
|
||||
|
||||
The second distribution we would like to feature in this list is KDE Neon. The KDE Neon is based on the Ubuntu LTS release at its base. But the KDE Framework and KDE Applications with KDE Plasma desktop are the latest from the team. The primary reason for featuring this is that it is perfect for you if you want a Ubuntu LTS base distribution but want the latest KDE Applications. In fact, you can use it for your daily driver for years to come, provided you keep your system up to date.
|
||||
|
||||
In contrast, the Kubuntu LTS releases are also perfect. But they may not have the latest KDE Framework or applications.
|
||||
|
||||
[![KDE Neon - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][10]][11]
|
||||
|
||||
You can download the KDE Neon at the below link. Make sure to choose the user edition while downloading.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download KDE Neon][12]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Ubuntu LTS Releases with GNOME
|
||||
|
||||
The Ubuntu LTS releases (with default GNOME Desktop) are the most used Linux Distribution today. It’s the most popular, most downloaded and used by users, enterprises and several real-world needs.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no doubt about the Ubuntu LTS version’s power and stability. It has been time-tested. With the vast community support, Ubuntu LTS versions with customised GNOME might be the perfect fit for your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Most third-party applications and games primarily target Ubuntu, and you get a much bigger support base than all the distributions in this list. But the recent trends of decisions from Canonical (Ubuntu’s creator), such as forcing users to adopt Snap and other stuff, may raise a concern for you if you are an advanced user.
|
||||
|
||||
But for casual users who want to browse the internet, watch movies, listen to music and do personal work, you can blindly trust Ubuntu LTS versions as your best Linux distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
[![Ubuntu LTS with GNOME][13]][14]
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can download Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (the current one) using the below link.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Ubuntu][15]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Linux Mint Cinnamon
|
||||
|
||||
One of the Linux distributions that “just works” out-of-the-box in “any” type of hardware. The [Linux Mint][16] is fourth on this list. The above three distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu LTS) may not work well in older hardware (PC or Laptop) having low memory and older CPU. But Linux Mint is perfect in those use cases with its unique ability to make everyone welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, with Linux Mint, you do not need to install any additional applications after a fresh install. It comes with every possible driver and utility for all use cases. For example, your printer, webcam, and Bluetooth would work in Linux Mint.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, if you are new to Linux or Windows users who plan to migrate, then it is a perfect distribution to start. Its legacy menu-driven Cinnamon desktop is one of the best open-source desktops today.
|
||||
|
||||
[![Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition][17]][18]
|
||||
|
||||
If you ever get confused or have no time to choose which distribution is best for you, choose the Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. With that said, you can download Linux Mint using the below link.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Linux Mint][19]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. Pop OS
|
||||
|
||||
The Pop OS is developed by American computer manufacturer System76 for their hardware lineup. But it is one of the famous and emerging Linux distributions based on Ubuntu. The Pop OS is primarily known to have perfect for modern hardware (including NVIDIA graphics) and brings some unique features absent in the traditional Ubuntu with GNOME desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you get a well-designed COSMIC desktop with Pop OS (which is currently being written with Rust), a built-in tiling feature, well-optimized power controls, and a stunning Pop Shop. The Pop Shop is a software store designed by its maker to give you a well-categorized set of applications for your study, learning, development, gaming, etc. This distribution is also perfect for gaming if you plan to start your Linux journey with gaming in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, if you want a professional-grade Linux distribution with official help and support, you should check out actual System76 hardware with Pop OS.
|
||||
|
||||
[![Pop OS - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][20]][21]
|
||||
|
||||
However, you can download the Pop OS for various hardware for free using the link below.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Pop OS][22]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. MX Linux
|
||||
|
||||
MX Linux is a well-designed Linux distribution primarily targeted at older hardware with productivity and stability in mind. It’s an emerging Linux distribution that is free from systemd and uses the init system. Based on the Debian Stable branch, it brings Xfce Desktop, KDE Plasma desktop and Fluxbox with its own powerful MX utilities.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use MX Linux for all of your needs. But I would not recommend it for gaming or development work. If you need a stable Linux distribution for your older hardware, free from systemd, you can choose MX Linux. Especially the Fluxbox edition.
|
||||
|
||||
[![MX Linux][23]][24]
|
||||
|
||||
You can download MX Linux from its official website below.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download MX Linux][25]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 7. Endeavour OS
|
||||
|
||||
If you like the concept of “Rolling release”, which gives you all the latest packages and operating system components, Arch Linux is perhaps the best you can have. However, installing Arch Linux might be tricky for new users, although the recent [archinstall][26] does a pretty job.
|
||||
|
||||
However, EndeavourOS is a perfect Arch Linux-based distribution which features Xfce, KDE Plasma and other popular desktops out of the box. Armed with the Calamares installer, it is super easy to install Endeavour OS.
|
||||
|
||||
However, this might not be the best Linux distribution for beginners. But it is the best one for little advanced users who are already familiar with Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
On the brighter side, you get to say, “btw, I use Arch”.
|
||||
|
||||
[![EndeavourOS - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][27]][28]
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, EndeavourOS has excellent community support, and its Telegram channel support is the best in my personal experience. So, if you ever get stuck, help is just a message away.
|
||||
|
||||
Download this excellent and emerging Linux distribution using the link below.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Endeavour OS][29]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 8. Zorin OS
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu Linux and is best for those who want nice looks, power, stability, and a productive system. In this Linux distribution, the default desktop is a blend of Xfce and GNOME 3, heavily customised. One of the advantages of Zorin is it comes with ready-made themes. With those themes, you can make Zorin OS look like Windows and macOS with just one click.
|
||||
|
||||
This helps the new users easily migrate to Linux and use Zorin for their day-to-day work.
|
||||
|
||||
[![Zorin OS - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][30]][31]
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, Zorin OS maintains three editions – Pro, Lite and Core, which cater to different user bases. The Pro edition is a paid version with additional themes and tweaks for a minimal fee.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Zorin OS from the below link.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Zorin OS][32]

|
||||
#### 9. Debian with Xfce
|
||||
|
||||
There are many Linux distributions which are based on Debian. But I have included vanilla Debian in this list because of its excellent stability and power. Debian – termed a “Universal Operating System”, is perfect for moderately experienced users of Linux. But if you can set up a daily driver with Debian Stable with Xfce, you can run it for years without reformating or reinstalling for fear of breaking your system.
|
||||
|
||||
Debian package repo contains all possible packages, which gives you the ultimate flexibility to set up any custom system you want.
|
||||
|
||||
![Debian with Xfce Desktop][33]
|
||||
|
||||
A perfect Linux distribution if you know how to set up a Debian box with some experience. You can download and install Debian after choosing the proper installer for your system here. Debian comes with an installer for several architectures. You may [read our guide][34]if you are confused about which one to choose and how to install it.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 10. Ubuntu Studio
|
||||
|
||||
The final best Linux distribution we feature in this list is Ubuntu Studio. Ubuntu Studio is an official Ubuntu Linux distribution specially curated for Multimedia production type of work.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Studio comes with the low-latency mainline Linux Kernel to give additional advantages to multiple operations. In addition, Ubuntu Studio brings its native “Ubuntu Studio Controls”, which provides creators with several options to tweak CPU settings for heavy CPU-intensive rendering and processing.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, a massive list of free and open-source audio, graphics, and video applications is pre-loaded into the ISO, saving time if you plan to build a multimedia workstation.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu Studio is powered by the KDE Plasma desktop, the perfect Linux distribution for all creators worldwide.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Ubuntu Studio from the below link.

||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
I hope this list of “curated and best Linux distributions” helps you pick one for yourself, your friends and co-workers. These are based on their current status (active project), prospects (i.e. it has a well-defined vision for the future) and how easy to set up and out-of-the-box experience.
|
||||

10 Lightweight Linux Distributions for your Old Hardware in 2022
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**We highlight a list of 10 lightweight Linux Distributions ideal for your older PC in 2022. We give you their features and what makes them perfect for reviving older hardware.**
|
||||
|
||||
We believe that you should not throw away any hardware, especially PC and its components. Ideally, well-designed software should always run on any hardware. There are many [Linux Distributions][1] specifically designed for older hardware and PCs. And you can quickly revive them with the help of these Linux operating systems. In this post, we highlight ten such Linux Distributions which are lightweight and old hardware friendly in 2022.
|
||||
|
||||
### 10 Lightweight Linux Distributions 2022
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Linux Lite
|
||||
|
||||
The first lightweight Linux Distribution we feature in this list for 2022 is Linux Lite. Linux Lite is a continually developed and improved Linux Distribution based on Ubuntu and Debian. This decade-old Linux Distribution is perfect for your older hardware which needs a friendly and well-designed distro. The team markets this distro as an ideal starting point for Windows users who ends up with not supported hardware with Windows. The primary advantages of this distro are well customized and nice-looking Xfce desktop with an Ubuntu base, the latest Kernel and, of course, a 32-bit ISO image.
|
||||
|
||||
![Linux Lite - Lightweight Linux Distributions][2]
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Puppy Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The second distro that we feature in this list is Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux is a little different than traditional distros out there. It is designed to run from RAM without needing to install it in a physical system. If appropriately configured, you can save the sessions, plus it continues to work well even if you remove the bootable medium.
|
||||
|
||||
![Puppy Linux - one of the best lightweight Linux Distribution in 2022][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Puppy Linux – one of the best lightweight Linux Distribution in 2022
|
||||
|
||||
This Linux distro is binary compatible with Ubuntu LTS versions; the latest version is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Since Ubuntu dropped the 32-bit support, the newest version dropped the 32-bit version.
|
||||
|
||||
Puppy Linux use cases are perfect for older computers, Netbooks, and hardware with less than 1GB of RAM. At the core, it is run by superfast JWM (Jow’s Window Manager), Puppy Package Manager that supports .deb, .rpm and its native PET packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, it’s a perfect and well-designed Linux Distribution for older hardware, hands down.
|
||||
|
||||
Features:
|
||||
|
||||
- Based on the Ubuntu LTS Version
|
||||
- It can run on low-end Netbooks
|
||||
- Works directly from RAM even after removing the bootable media
|
||||
- Unique package manager – Puppy Package Manager
|
||||
- Powered by JWM
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. BunsenLabs Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The third lightweight Linux distro in this list is BunsenLabs Linux, a successor of the Crunchbang project. The BunsenLabs Linux is based on the Debian Stable branch, bringing modern applications to your low-end system. This distro provides a 32-bit version image for low-end systems and a standard 64-bit system for your regular hardware. At the core, BunsenLabds is powered by a pre-configured OpenBox window manager with a stunning tint2 panel, pre-configured Conky and jgmenu.
|
||||
|
||||
![BunsenLabs Linux -Lightweight Linux Distribution ][5]
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||

#### 4. Lubuntu
|
||||
|
||||
Lubuntu is famous for being a lightweight Linux Distribution. It is an official Ubuntu Linux flavour that features the lightweight LxQt desktop environment. Lubuntu gives you modern Ubuntu Linux packages and technology while it features the LxQt for your low-end hardware. Although it might require some extra system resources compared to other distros in this list, it is still a go-to Linux distro for older hardware.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. Absolute Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The fifth lightweight Linux distribution is Absolute Linux, based on Slackware Linux. This distro packages all necessary day-to-day applications in its installer image so that you get a complete distro out of the box. Absolute Linux features the IceWM and ROX Desktop, which gives you ultimate speed while using it on your older hardware. It is systemd-free, which offers an extra advantage over other distributions.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
[Download Absolute Linux][10]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. antiX Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Yet another lightweight Linux distribution we want to highlight is antiX Linux. The antiX Linux is based on Debian stable branch and has several attractive features. At its core, it uses IceWM, Fluxbox, and ROX Desktop options, giving you an excellent and fast desktop experience. It is entirely systemd-free and uses sysVinit and runit system. The antiX Linux also gives you a 32-bit installer and has four variants – Full, Core, Base and net catering to different use cases.

||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
- Based on Debian stable
|

- It provides a 32-bit installer
|
||||
- Systemd free
|
||||
- Powered by IceWM and other window manager flavours
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 7. LXLE
|
||||
|
||||
The LXLE Linux is a spin of the Lubuntu LTS series with an LXDE desktop instead of an LXQt desktop. The choice of applications, installer and other features makes it a perfect distro for older hardware. It is ideal for reviving your old system with a stable Ubuntu-LTS base and a fast LXDE desktop environment.
|
||||
|
||||
![LXLE Linux - Lightweight Linux Distributions][13]
|
||||
|
||||
LXLE Linux
|
||||
|
||||
However, in my personal opinion, I feel LXQt is a little faster than LXDE. Well, that feedback might be relative and can be different for you. There are not many Linux distributions today, which give you an LXDE flavour. Hence it is one of the unique and lightweight Linux distributions for your daily use.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download LXLE][14]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 8. Porteus Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The Porteus Linux is a remix of Slackware Linux that features the old KDE 4.0+ desktop environment (before the KDE Plasma series). This superfast Linux distribution is perfect for your antique hardware because it is based on bleeding-edge Slackware and gives you a 32-bit version. This distro can run from Live USB or a CD, or any bootable media and comes with just 300 MB of installer size.
|
||||
|
||||
If you love the old KDE (like me!) and Slackware simplicity, this is a perfect distro for you, even your new hardware.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 9. Q4OS
|
||||
|
||||
Q4OS is a unique Linux Distribution in this list. It targets the older Windows systems, which have become obsolete today. Many older PCs used to run Windows XP and Windows 7. They no longer work well with Windows and some modern Linux Distributions because the modern and updated OS requires much more computing power and resources.
|
||||
|
||||
Q4OS targets those use cases and give you a well-designed Linux Distribution with features such as a 32-bit installer, Windows installer, Trinity Desktop environments, pre-made Windows themes, etc.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 10. MX Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The final Linux Distribution in this list is the famous MX Linux, which has made its features and uniqueness in recent times. However, I doubted whether I would list MX Linux as lightweight. Because in my opinion, it is a medium-weight Linux Distribution if you consider its KDE Plasma flavour.
|
||||
|
||||
![MX Linux][19]
|
||||
|
||||
MX Linux
|
||||
|
||||
However, it has some features which make it a perfect candidate for lightweight Linux distributions. MX Linux is based on the Debian Stable branch and created with antiX components. It features its own MX Linux native applications for your additional workflow. You get KDE Plasma, Xfce and Fluxbox as desktop options.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Summary & Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
If you look closely, most of the lightweight Linux distribution we listed here is based on Debian Linux. It is truly the “Universal Operating System”. Modern Linux Desktop Environments like GNOME 40+, and KDE Plasma with Systemd init systems are no longer compatible with older hardware. Also, as technology progresses, more software complexity is introduced, requiring higher-end systems.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, I hope you get some idea about which lightweight Linux distributions to choose for your old laptop or PC from this list. Each of them serves different tastes and needs with one goal: to revive your older systems. So, take your pick.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers.

Top 10 Most Beautiful Linux Distributions [Featured]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**We give you the top 10 beautiful Linux Distributions of 2022. They are a visual treat to your eyes while being a robust operating system.**
|
||||
|
||||
The most fantastic thing about [Linux Distributions][1] is you can customize them to any extent to satisfy your visual needs. Whether based on Ubuntu or Fedora, you have all the tools you need to customize a Linux desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
But, there are many Linux Distributions that looks stunning without any customization. The developers have made them so that you can experience the visual treat right after installation without any additional effort on customization.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, we compiled a list of the most beautiful Linux distributions you can try right now and give your PC a visual makeover.
|
||||
|
||||
### Most Beautiful Linux Distributions of 2022
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Zorin OS
|
||||
|
||||
The first Linux Distribution which we would like to feature is Zorin OS. The Zorin OS is a beautiful Linux distribution that uses Zorin Desktop based on GNOME. It is perfect for newcomers who want a nice desktop but are also productive at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
One unique feature of Zorin OS is its ability to transform its look to make it like any other operating system. That means the taskbar, application menu, and Dock can change with just one click option from its Layout settings, giving you the utmost flexibility and out-of-the-box experience while using ZorinOS.

|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Elementary OS
|
||||
|
||||
The elementaryOS is one of the most beautiful Linux distributions today based on Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) release. This Linux Distribution uses the stunning Pantheon Desktop environment, whose look and feel is inspired by macOS.
|
||||
|
||||
The elementary OS is perfect for those coming from macOS to the Linux world as they would find many things familiar, such as gestures and window decorations.
|
||||
|
||||
However, you may not find many customization options available in elementary OS settings. You may need to depend on external script commands to make further customization. However, the default looks are beautiful and serve their purpose for the majority of users.
|
||||
|
||||
The most significant advantage of elementary OS is its curated app store. The App Store provides you with all categories of applications specially designed for the elementary OS, which looks and works great.

#### 3. Deepin OS
|
||||
|
||||
The third distribution which we would like to highlight is Deepin OS. The Deepin OS is based on Debian and was created by Deepin Technology Co from China. It uses its own Deepin Desktop Environment based on Qt. The Deepin desktop looks incredible with its widgets, colour schemes, window decorations, and wallpapers that give you an out-of-the-box visual treat.
|
||||
|
||||
With its well-polished visual components, you may think that it looks almost similar to macOS. And thanks to the Debian “stable” branch, Deepin OS is the perfect choice if you want an excellent-looking Linux distribution with stability.
|
||||
|
||||
Why is Deepin OS beautiful?
|
||||
|
||||

||||
We all love Linux Mint because of its simplicity, elegance and stability. It is one of the most widely used and famous Linux distributions today. And perhaps the most used Linux distribution after Ubuntu. However, it is not that fancy-looking if you compare this with other Linux Distributions here in this list.
|
||||
|
||||
But the default Cinnamon desktop looks clean and perfect if you like the legacy user interface, which looks fantastic.
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux Mint Cinnamon edition is perfect for all users, especially new users of Linux or even those are migrating from Windows. The default looks and feels with Mint’s green colour palette look refreshing.
|
||||

Top 10 32-Bit Linux Distributions in 2022 [Compared]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**We list the best 32-bit Linux distributions that still support ancient systems.**
|
||||
|
||||
### What is happening with 32-bit Linux Distros?
|
||||
|
||||
Linux always supports older hardware, thanks to the community. But more and more Linux operating systems are dropping support for 32-bit systems mainly because it takes additional testing effort to keep another build apart from 64-bit, and the number of 32-bit systems is reducing daily.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the older hardware manufactured before 2007 has 32-bit architecture-based CPUs, which we mostly know as i386, i586, i486 and x86. However, the hardware manufactured after 2007 are primarily 64-bit and may term as modern.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, many famous and lightweight Linux distros dropped support for 32-bit architecture. But some projects are still strong and provide users with an option to run the older machines with full functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
I will list the ten best Linux distros that still support 32-bit systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### Top 10 32-bit Linux distros in 2022
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Debian
|
||||
|
||||
Debian Linux is the foundation of hundreds of Linux distributions across multiple architectures. Millions use it as a desktop and server operating system. Debian is a “universal operating system” because it supports x86-64, arm64, armel,armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, mips64el, ppc64el, s390x architectures with work in progress for riscv64.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, it supports a wide range of hardware and includes free and non-free packages. On the desktop side, all the major [desktop environments][1] are available for you to install on your older hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps, it is the safest choice if you are looking for a vanilla 32-bit Linux distro experience.
|
||||
|
||||
![Debian Logo][2]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why is Debian the best 32-bit distro?
|
||||
|
||||
- Most popular and widely used
|
||||
- Dependable and used by millions
|
||||
- Well documentation, tutorials and user guides
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The team behind it gives a lot of thought while packaging the applications in this distro. Besides that, it is also based on antiX components and comes with KDE Plasma desktop, Xfce and Fluxbox.
|
||||
|
||||
MX Linux is probably the best choice in this list because it is easy to download and use in older systems.
|
||||
|
||||
![mx linux logo][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why is MX Linux the best?

||||
The third 32-bit Linux distro in this list is Q4OS. Q4OS is a unique Linux operating system based on Debian and brings KDE and Trinity desktop environments. It comes with a 32-bit installer which can be used to install. In addition, Q4OS also features a Windows installer where you can parallel run this distro inside WIndows.
|
||||
|
||||
An exciting and related trivia about Q4OS is that it was created as an alternative to Windows XP when Microsoft discontinued it on 2014. And it’s still going strong and providing a stable 32-bit alternative to many users.
|
||||
|
||||
![Q4OS Logo][8]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Here are some of the critical advantages of Q4OS

|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. NixOS
|
||||
|
||||
The fourth Linux distro in this list of 32-bit distributions is NixOS, built on top of the Nix Package manager. This independent Linux distribution is perfect for DevOps and deployment pipeline tasks and supports atomic updates. It uses a configuration script for several tasks, including installation.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, NixOS is not for the beginner or average Linux users, although it functions like other Linux distributions. It’s not designed to be an end-user Linux operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
However, since it provides a 32-bit variant, it’s perfect for some use cases where you need to set up a remote server or pipeline in older hardware. You can learn more and download using the below link.
|
||||
|
||||

It comes with X Binary Package System (XBPS), which helps you to install apps and packages directly from sources. In addition, it uses runit as init system, instead of systemd.
|
||||
|
||||
Void Linux provides a 32-bit installer with the latest packages alongside the usual 64-bit and ARM installation methods. Hence, you can quickly try it out on your older hardware. Moreover, Void Linux also support all major desktop environments, such as Xfce, Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt and more.

||||
|
||||
Zorin OS is an excellent and popular Linux distribution, a fusion of Xfce and GNOME 3 desktop. It comes with a Pro and Lite version. The Zorin OS Lite version provides a 32-bit installer at the moment.
|
||||
|
||||
![Zorin OS - Best Linux Distributions of 2022][13]
|
||||
|
||||
But there is a catch. Currently, the Zorin OS 15.3 Lite version only supports the 32-bit version. And its support ends on April 2023.
|
||||
|
||||
After that, Zorin OS will not be supporting the 32-bit version anymore. The reason is it is based on Ubuntu LTS. And Ubuntu discontinued the 32-bit image from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa version.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, you can use Zorin OS 15.3 Lite until April 2023 and take advantage of its beautiful desktop and additional features.

### List of significant distros that dropped support of 32-bit recently
|
||||
|
||||
Since you went thru the above list, it’s always to remember that a bunch of distros which depended on Ubuntu dropped their 32-bit support. From the version Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, Ubuntu officially closed the support for 32-bit. Hence all the Ubuntu-LTS variants are also forced to follow this decision.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s a brief list of awesome distros which unfortunately discontinued the 32-bit support in the recent past.
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux Mint 20 and above
|
||||
- Puppy Linux 9.5 and above
|
||||
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa and above
|
||||
- All the official Ubuntu flavours (such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu) from 20.04 onwards
|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
You can rest assured that there will always be support for 32-bit Linux distributions to support older hardware. If a day comes when all distro stops support, Debian will always support all hardware possible. That’s the beauty of Debian.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, other niche distros, such as Puppy and Void Linux – will continue to support 32-bit hardware in the coming days. Because they are built with this purpose only.
|
||||

How to Make LibreOffice Look Like Microsoft Office
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**We attempted to make the LibreOffice suite look like Microsoft Office. Is it possible? Let’s find out.**
|
||||
|
||||
[LibreOffice][1] is a free and open-source office productivity suite that provides you with a complete collection of applications. It consists of a Word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet program (Calc), Presentation (Impress), and a drawing program (Draw). It also gives you a stand-alone database system LibreOffice Base while LibreOffice Math is a program that helps students and researchers write formulas and equations.
|
||||
|
||||
While the widely used [Microsoft Office][2] is a paid office productivity suite that gives you excellent programs to perform almost all tasks related to study, office, and enterprise usage.
|
||||
|
||||
Adopting LibreOffice is sometimes difficult compared to Microsoft Office – although most of the menu items and tools are the same. Both programs are different, but their objective is the same in terms of functionality. Due to its popularity, Microsoft office is used widely and is well-known to users. However, many users prefer the free LibreOffice for their work and activities.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, if you can make LibreOffice look like Microsoft Office, it is much easier for first-time users to adopt – mostly coming from a Microsoft Office background. The look and feel play a big part in users’ minds, including their muscle memory, familiarity with colours, and menu items.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you can not make it exactly like Microsoft Office because of the different icons, fonts, etc. However, you can make it look up to a certain amount.
|
||||
|
||||
### Make LibreOffice Look Like Microsoft Office
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. User Interface changes
|
||||
|
||||
LibreOffice has a “Ribbon” style toolbar called Tabbed Bar. However, it has many toolbar options (see below). For this guide, I have used the Tabbed bar option.
|
||||
|
||||
- Open LibreOffice and go to `Menu > View > User Interface`.
|
||||
- Select `Tabbed` from the UI Section.
|
||||
|
||||
![tabbed bar option][3]
|
||||
|
||||
- Click on Apply to All.
|
||||
- LibreOffice also provides an option to apply the toolbar type-specific to Writer or Calc. If you want a different toolbar type, you can choose that way. But I would recommend using the Apply to All to make it consistent.
|
||||
|
||||
- Now you should have the Microsoft Office-style Ribbon. Although they are not precisely the same, you get the feel of it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Microsoft Office Icons for LibreOffice
|
||||
|
||||
The Icons in the toolbar play a big part in your workflow. LibreOffice provides some nice icons for your toolbar. The best ones are the –
|
||||
|
||||
- Karasa Jaga
|
||||
- Colibre
|
||||
- Elementary
|
||||
|
||||
For this guide, we will use Office 2013 icon set, which an author develops. It is available in Devian Art.
|
||||
|
||||
- Go to the below link and download the LibreOffice extension file (*.oxt). For the newer versions of LibreOffice, you need to use extension files to install icon sets.
|
||||
|
||||
[download office 2013 icon sets for libreoffice][4]
|
||||
|
||||
- After downloading, double-click the .oxt file to open. Or, press CTRL+ALT+E to open the Extension Manager and select the downloaded .oxt file using the Add button. Close the window once done.
|
||||
|
||||
![Import icon sets in Extension Manager][5]
|
||||
|
||||
- Now go to `Tools > Options > View`. From the Icon style, choose Office 2013.
|
||||
|
||||
- Change the icon size via `Icon Size > Notebookbar > Large`. If you feel the icons are small, you can change them. However, I think to make it more Office-like, the large settings work better.
|
||||
|
||||
![Change icons in Options][6]
|
||||
|
||||
And that’s it. Your LibreOffice installation should look like this.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
![Making LibreOffice look like Microsoft Office in Windows 10][8]
|
||||
|
||||
![Making LibreOffice look like Microsoft Office in GNOME][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Remember, the looks may be different if you are using Ubuntu, KDE Plasma, or any Linux distribution. But I think it looks closer to Microsoft Office in KDE Plasma than GNOME. LibreOffice doesn’t look good in GTK-based systems at the moment.
|
||||
|
||||
In Windows, however, it looks better because it uses a system font and colour palette.
|
||||
|
||||
These are some settings that you can use. However, you can play around with more customizations, icons, and themes as you wish. If you fancy dark mode in LibreOffice, you may want to read our tutorial – on [how to enable dark mode in LibreOffice][10].
|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Office is undoubtedly the market leader in the Office productivity space. There is a reason for it, it comes with decades of development, and it’s not a free product. The latest Office 365 Home usage price is around ~7 USD per month for 3 to 4 devices, which is a bit pricy if you ask me.
|
||||
|
||||
Whereas LibreOffice is free and community-developed and headed by The Document Foundation. It is not trying to be Microsoft Office, but it allows millions of users, schools, non-profits, colleges, and students to work and learn using a free office suite. Hence, the development is slower, and features arrive late.
|
||||
|
||||
Hence, it is beneficial if it can mimic the basic look and feel to make it like Microsoft Office to increase LibreOffice’s adoption. And I hope this guide serves a little purpose in that direction.
