Bionic – Kubuntu https://kubuntu.org Friendly Computing Sun, 02 May 2021 16:39:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.3 Kubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver reaches end of Kubuntu support https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic-beaver-reaches-end-of-kubuntu-support/ Sun, 02 May 2021 16:39:06 +0000 https://kubuntu.org/?p=4648 As the recently released Kubuntu 21.04 with beautiful Plasma 5.21 makes its way into the world, inevitably other things come to their end.

Kubuntu 18.04 LTS was released in April 2018, and reached ‘End of Life’ for its 3 years of flavour support on 1st May 2021. All Kubuntu users should therefore switch to a newer supported release.

Download a supported release or upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 LTS.

The Kubuntu team would thank users of all releases, especially for the amazing additional community support on IRC, forums, mailing lists, and elsewhere.

]]> Testing a switch to default Breeze-Dark Plasma theme in Bionic daily isos and default settings https://kubuntu.org/news/testing-a-switch-to-breeze-dark-plasma-theme-by-default/ Sun, 10 Dec 2017 10:43:28 +0000 https://kubuntu.org/?p=3649 Today’s daily ISO for Bionic Beaver 18.04 sees an experimental switch to the Breeze-Dark Plasma theme by default.

Users running 18.04 development version who have not deliberately opted to use Breeze/Breeze-Light in their systemsettings will also see the change after upgrading packages.

Users can easily revert back to the Breeze/Breeze-Light Plasma themes by changing this in systemsettings.

Feedback on this change will be very welcome:

You can reach us on the Kubuntu IRC channel or Telegram group, on our user mailing list, or post feedback on the (unofficial) Kubuntu web forums

Thank you to Michael Tunnell from TuxDigital.com for kindly suggesting this change.
