UBUNTU 17 DESKLETS SOFTWARE

I found it in Ubuntu 11.10’s Software Center and Linux Mint 12’s Software Manager. GDesklets is available in the package manager repositories for leading Linux distros. I recently tried gDesklets and was mildly happy with it. In the process of upgrading and changing Linux distros, I wandered away from that project.

UBUNTU 17 DESKLETS ANDROID

I am a lot more receptive to using widgets on my computers now that widget usefulness is ingrained in my psyche from my Android smartphone and tablet experiences.īut having two separate desktop widget projects is counter productive. These desktop mini programs range from weather forecasts and news tickers to system information displays and music player controls, This widget system works on most of the modern Unix-based desktops, including GNOME, KDE and Xfce. The system is not restricted to one desktop environment. GDesklets, like Screenlets, is a system for bringing mini programs to your desktop. It has a good amount of catching up to do in order to grow beyond the basics. While both projects have a similar look and feel, gDesklets is more of a latecomer to the party.

UBUNTU 17 DESKLETS DOWNLOAD

Ubuntu 17.04 download links are available from the official Ubuntu website but, do note, that the Long Term Support release remains the default recommended download.When it comes to little desktop applets or widgets on the Linux platform, you have two choices: gDesklets and Screenlets.

UBUNTU 17 DESKLETS UPGRADE

Ubuntu 16.10 users will want to upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04 for the general around improvements, access to newer apps, and because the truncated support period of these short term releases necessitates it.įor users of other Linux distributions there’s probably little here worth upping sticks for, unless your distro of choice isn’t providing timely updates or newer kernel releases that you feel you really need, of course. While there is little compelling reason for anyone running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to upgrade (especially for those who opt receive the newer hardware enablement stack) it’s not an irrelevant release. Ubuntu 17.04 is an iterative update with modest appeal. The default DNS resolver is now systemd-resolved, and gconf is no longer installed by default having been replaced by gsettings.

With the bulk of GNOME 3.24 available in Zesty you also get new versions of many other apps and tools, except for the stock Terminal emulator (which stays on v3.20), the Nautilus file manager ( on v3.20) and Ubuntu Software ( on v3.22, but with some additional features, like Snap URL support). There’s the latest LibreOffice 5.3 (aka the one you can enable the ‘Ribbon’ interface in) the default Calendar app picks up a handy week view and key essentials Firefox and Thunderbird are shipping their latest stable versions, too. Ubuntu’s core app set has been largely updated and dusted down for 17.04. Ubuntu 17.04 includes the Linux kernel 4.10, which is great news for anyone looking to run the release on AMD Ryzen or Intel Kaby Lake systems. Gamers will also appreciate the inclusion of MESA 17.0.2 and the X.Org Server 1.19.2 is also included by default.

So, instead, Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus uses a swapfile by default. Sizing of swap files is different to the swap partitions and typically use no more than 5% of free disk space (or 2048MB of RAM), which is another potential benefit. It makes little sense on modern systems that have more memory available. Swap Filesįresh installs of Ubuntu 17.04 will no longer require a swap partition that’s (at least) twice the RAM size. It’s still fairly nippy on my hardware, but while there may be a few bug fixes and a bit of performance tuning here and there, it’s not especially noticeable versus in 16.10 and 16.04 LTS …or 15.10… and so on. Unity is, by and large, the same as it is in the 16.04 LTS. It’s reasonable to expect developers to want to kick a few tyres on that switch ahead of time, in the next interim release.Ī bittersweet release then, Ubuntu 17.04 sees the distro reach the end of the alphabet in codenames, and the end of an era in everything else. That’s not a certainty, of course, but we know that Ubuntu will switch to GNOME for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS next year. It’s potentially the last version of the distribution that will come with the Unity 7 desktop by default. ‘Ubuntu 17.04 is jam packed with features - it’s just that none of them are new…’
