AGNULA GNU/Linux Audio Distribution
AGNULA (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) was the name of a project funded by the European Commission. The project was coordinated by the Centro Tempo Reale in Firenze and involves important research centers and institutions. AGNULA's main task will be the development of two reference distributions for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software (i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and completely devoted to professional and consumer audio applications and multimedia development. One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi). Both will be available on the network for download and on CD. The project started on the 1st April 2002 and will last for two years. In the second year the project will also extend to hardware platforms other than PCs (e.g. PowerPCs, 64-bit architectures).

NEW • Distribution Release: Zorin OS 16.2 |
Rate this project

The Zorin OS distribution is based on Ubuntu and provides utilities and an environment which is designed to be familiar to people migrating from Windows. The project's latest release is Zorin OS 16.2 which provides nicer fonts in documents, improved document compatibility, and offers the option of more visual effects on the desktop. "When documents are created on other platforms, they often use the default fonts from Microsoft Office/365 or Windows. However, these fonts are under a proprietary license, so they can't be pre-installed in Zorin OS for all users. Because of this, documents may display with incompatible fonts instead. This can cause documents to not only look different than intended but also to shift their layout and corrupt their formatting. Because of how prevalent these proprietary fonts are in documents, this issue became a significant barrier to those hoping to switch to Zorin OS for their work environment. Zorin OS 16.2 comes with an updated font selection to help solve this problem. We've introduced Open Source metric-compatible alternatives to some of the most popular fonts. They appear similar to their proprietary counterparts and have the same character dimensions, so documents display with the correct formatting." More details are available in the release announcement. Download (SHA256, pkglist): Zorin-OS-16.2-Core-64-bit.iso (2,929MB), Zorin-OS-16.2-Lite-64-bit.iso (2,451MB). |

Rudra Saraswat has announced the release of Ubuntu Unity 22.10, the project's first release as one of Ubuntu's official editions. Ubuntu Unity brings back the controversial Unity desktop used by Ubuntu as the default user interface until 2017; it had plenty of detractors, but seemingly also many fans: "The Ubuntu Unity 22.10 has now been released; it is the first stable release of Ubuntu Unity as an official flavor. It introduces a new toggle from the panel to switch between the dark and light theme, and between accent colors. It also replaces all the libadwaita apps with MATE alternatives. The ISO image is much smaller, at 2.8GB. The RAM usage has also gone down significantly (around 650MB when idle). You can now install Ubuntu Unity on an existing Ubuntu installation by removing gnome-shell and other GNOME apps, and then installing the ubuntu-unity-desktop package (all the Ubuntu Unity packages are now in universe in the official Ubuntu archive, and no longer in a PPA). We're actively working on adding new features to Unity7, such as support for different refresh rates in unity-settings-daemon, and even replacing such old components and apps and the indicators with the ayatana-* packages. We are working on adding extension support to the Unity shell." Read the full release announcement for additional details.

With the code name 'Kinetic Kudu', Lubuntu 22.10 is the 23rd release of Lubuntu and the ninth release of Lubuntu with LXQt as the default desktop environment. Known issues and notable changes: a bug in LXQt results in duplicate menu entries for the Calamares installer; Lubuntu uses the Calamares system installer in place of the Ubiquity installer that most other flavors use; while we are ensuring 22.04 LTS' Calamares follows the upstream LTS cycle, we decided to get ahead of the curve by shipping Calamares 3.3 Alpha 2 in 22.10; an ongoing concern within the Ubuntu and Lubuntu communities has been the increased startup times for the Firefox web browser due to using the Snap package format instead of the traditional Debian-based package format used for the rest of the system...."

Ubuntu Studio, an official variant of Ubuntu that comes pre-installed with a selection of the most common free multimedia applications available, has been upgraded to version 22.10: "The Ubuntu Studio team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu Studio 22.10, code-named 'Kinetic Kudu'. This marks Ubuntu Studio's 32nd release. This release is a regular release and as such, it is supported for 9 months (until July 2023)." One of additions to this release is a new "feature uninstaller": "A new addition to the Ubuntu Studio Installer package is the Ubuntu Studio Feature Uninstaller which performs the reverse of the Ubuntu Studio Installer: removes groups of packages from the Ubuntu Studio installation as long as they aren't required by another group of packages. For example, if you have ubuntustudio-photography installed and ubuntustudio-graphics installed but wish to uninstall ubuntustudio-photography, you will still have gimp installed since it's part of the ubuntustudio-graphics metapackage. This method of uninstallation is safe and effective at making your digital studio yours." Read the detailed release announcement and release notes for more information.

Martin Wimpress has announced the release of Ubuntu MATE 22.10. This release reportly offers a number of small, polishing changes rather than a lot of large, technical adjustments. Some of the desktop tweaks include the following: "The usual point release updates to MATE desktop and Ayatana Indicators have been included that fix an assortment on minor bugs. The main change in MATE desktop is to MATE Panel, where we've included an early snapshot release of mate-panel 1.27.0 along with a patch set that adds centre alignment of panel applets. This much requested feature comes from Ubuntu MATE community contributor Gordon N. Squash and allows panel applets to be centre aligned, as well as the usual left and right alignment. I'm sure you'll all join me in thanking Gordon for working on this feature. Centre aligning of applet icons will ship with MATE Desktop 1.28, but we're including it early for Ubuntu MATE users. We've updated MATE Tweak to correctly save/restore custom layouts that use centre aligned applets and all the panel layouts shipped with Ubuntu MATE 22.10 have been updated so they're compatible with center alignment of applets."

It is now possible to do a typical install entirely from a touchpad or mouse, a keyboard is no longer needed. A virtual keyboard has been implemented for those modules that need text input. For those who prefer PulseAudio over Pipewire, a module has been added (KaOS only), that gives users the option to select which sound server they prefer (with Pipewire set as default). Dracut is the new default for the initramfs image creation (mkinitcpio is no longer in use for new installs). To accommodate that change, the Dracut module in Calamares had to be adjusted, so it now supports version-less kernels." Additional information is provided in the project's release announcement.
