Kubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish: Ubuntu's slogan is "Linux for human beings", which describes the primary purpose of distribution. Convenience to the end user.
The ease of using Ubuntu has established distribution as the most popular Linux kernel.
On October 18, Canonical released the new 18.10 version in all mainstream flavors. Below we will see the functional Kubuntu 18.10 I tested with a Live USB.
Kubuntu 18.10 distribution, uses the KDE Plasma 5 desktop. It comes with the new Linux Kernel 4.18, the new Qt 5.11, KDE Frameworks 5.50, the Plasma 5.13.5 desktop and KDE Applications in the 18.04.3 version.
The new Kubuntu comes with up-to-date all major application packages: Krita, Kdeconnect, Kstars, Peruse, Latte -dock, Firefox and LibreOffice and with several improvements to KDE Plasma.
The distribution integrated the Snap packages into the centre Plasma Discover desktop software and are now enabled by default. Of course you can also use the Snapcraft Store from your browser.
Please note that apart from the Discover software center, Muon also has a variant of Synaptic Package Manager:
And for those who have been waiting to try the Plasma 5.14 DE at Kubuntu 18.10, the distribution announcement says:
"Users wanting to try the latest 5.14.1 and 5.51 platforms, which were released too late to be added to version 18.10 by default, can install them on Backports PPAs."
With the new algorithms inclpressureWith LZ4 and ztsd, Ubuntu 18.10 was supposed to boot about 10% faster. Since I didn't install the distro I didn't notice anything particularly impressive with the USB to mention. Installation according to Canonical will also be a bit faster.
For those who were now waiting for Ubuntu 18.10 to come with Android integration, μάλλον θα απογοητευτούν. Με αυτό το χαρακτηριστικό θα μπορούσατε να συνδέσετε την Android συσκευή σας με το Ubuntu και να μεταφέρεστε αρχεία ασύρματα. Θα μπορούσατε επίσης να δείτε τα Android notifications και πολλά άλλα, καθώς σύμφωνα με τα σχέδια της Canonical το GSConnect θα ήταν ενεργοποιημένο από προεπιλογή στην έκδοση 18.10.
Unfortunately, the company did not succeed in Ubuntu 18.10, to see if it does so in the forthcoming 19.04 LTS that will be released after about 9 months.
To upgrade to 18.10 from previous version 18.04 open it Software & Updates and make sure “Notify me of a new Ubuntu version” is set to “For any new version”:
Close the application window and run the update manager. You will be notified that there is a new version of Ubuntu. With a click on the upgrade, the update manager will start downloading all the necessary files to upgrade your system. Normally, the home folder that contains your personal files will remain as it is, but to be sure, get a backup before you start the process.
