| About Edubuntu
|
| Edubuntu is a partner project of Ubuntu, a distribution suitable for classroom use. The aim is that an educator with limited technical knowledge and skill will be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an on-line learning environment, in an hour or less, and then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.

Distribution Release: Edubuntu 25.04 |
|
Amy Eickmeyer has announced the release of Edubuntu 25.04, the latest stable version of the project's official Ubuntu variant designed to bring the freedom of the Linux desktop and the vast library of open-source education software into the classroom. "We are glad to let you know that we've released Edubuntu 25.04 and we've replaced some of our apps that were no longer supported with similar applications so you can still get the same wonderful experience. New features: this release includes GNOME 48; for Qt-based/KDE apps, we now include themes via Kvantum, mostly as a workaround for the inability to change the accent color in those applications; this theme is based on GNOME's libadwaita, on which the default Ubuntu theme (Yaru) is based; GNOME Notes is dead upstream, for that reason, we have switched to the resurrected GNote; likewise, GNOME Dictionary is also dead upstream and we have replaced it with Artha, which is more of a thesaurus but does dictionary operations as well. Known issues: upon first boot, the system will reboot - this is normal and is the mechanism to set the logo for the login screen; Artha will not launch on a Wayland session." Here is the complete release announcement. Download: edubuntu-25.04-desktop-amd64.iso (5,935MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Edubuntu 24.10 |
|
Erich Eickmeyer has announced the release of Edubuntu 24.10, an Ubuntu variant designed for use in schools and available for standard 64-bit computers as well as Raspberry Pi 5 boards: "Hello fellow educators and students! We've updated Edubuntu with a new wallpaper and added some security features in-line with Ubuntu desktop. We are excited for these small, but mighty changes to help you get the most out of Edubuntu. New Features: we have changed our default wallpaper for this and the next two releases, this will distinguish these releases for this LTS cycle until the next LTS; this release includes GNOME 47; like Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu now includes the Permissions Prompting and the Security Center. This release is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. We didn't have much time this cycle to work through our applications and determine which applications are out there to add new ones, so there's not much new in terms of new applications this cycle." Read the full release announcement for further information and a list of known issues. Download: edubuntu-24.10-desktop-amd64.iso (6,444MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Edubuntu 23.04 |
|
Amy Eickmeyer has announced the availability of Edubuntu 23.04, a brand-new release from the project that seeks to bring the freedom of the Linux desktop and the vast library of open source education software into the classroom. Edubuntu has been revived after a 9-year hiatus. The release announcement, which includes several screenshots, lists some of the more interesting features: "By default, Edubuntu's application overview is alphabetized, which makes it a learning tool out-of-the-box so students can see an example of alphabetization and cataloging. Additionally, educational applications are grouped into folders by subject, making the application overview easy to navigate. Using Edubuntu Installer, you can configure the system for a certain age group, whether that be preschool, primary (elementary), secondary (middle/high school) or tertiary (college/university). Each configuration comes with a different set of applications and a different layout and default wallpaper. Using Edubuntu Menu Administrator, administrators can configure which applications are hidden for non-administrator users with the check of a box."
