The @xubuntu 25.10 release notes are now ready!
https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/25.10/release-notes
We're in the final stretch as we test the release ISOs. There are a lot more bugs this time around... plenty of work to do before the 20th anniversary release in April.
Look forward to the release of #Xubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" tomorrow!
@elduvelle most distros can be used without any use of the command line. But you may find, that a lot of tasks can be solved quicker an easier using the command line. On one of my computers, I use #xubuntu which is an edition of #Ubuntu with the #Xfce desktop environment, which looks a lot like old school windows. You can also tweak the looks of it and create your own menu-bars and place them where you want. So, any distro with Xfce might be worth a look.
Edit: typos
Lasst die taz'lerInnen einfach mal eine Linux Distribution installieren und danach ein W10/11 plus die Anwendungen die in der Linux Distribution bereits mit daher kommen.
Spätestens dann sollten sie ein für alle male kuriert sein.
While I really liked Debian 12, I have been struggling a little with 13. Nothing end of world - Debian is brilliant - but I have a fair bit going on and the little issues were things I really do not need right now.
I was going to give Fedora Xfce a try, especially since it how ships with LibreOffice, but it did not seem to want to install from Ventoy. Which is mildly annoying.
So...back on #Xubuntu LTS I am. I like it. Kind of like where I was before, but with a bit more polish.
The @xubuntu 25.10 Beta release is imminent. There are a few new issues to be aware of this time around.
https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/25.10/release-notes#known_issues
- The restart button at the end of the install does nothing
- GNOME apps don't have a close button icon
- MenuLibre crashes at startup
We'd love your help!
New laptop has arrived.
Xubuntu is installing.
Windows <anything> doesn't stand a chance in this house.
Likely an ignorant Q (very much a Linux beginner!) but are recent versions of #Xubuntu likely to run into similar issues as #LinuxMint when trying to set up a dual boot machine? I’ve spent several hours trying to boot from the non-Mint partition, piddling about with grub and BIOS boot order, thus far to no avail 
Files all seem to be there but I can’t seem to find/use the Windows boot device. Lots of advice on forums etc. but nothing that has worked for me yet!
Oh wise Fediverse, I have a problem that I welcome your input on.
I like Debian, but I find that when I boot 13, I get an error message at the encryption password screen. Seems kernel related, but while it does not stop me using the operating system, error messages are a thing to avoid.
Stability is good but a quiet life is to be treasured so am considering a distro hop. #Xubuntu LTS has long been a safe refuge while #Fedora is a chance to learn something new.
Which would you choose?
Linux auf alter Hardware – ressourcenschonende Distributionen
Alte Rechner landen oft im Elektroschrott, oder versauern im Schrank. Das muss nicht sein, auch älteren Rechnern kann man neues Leben einhauchen, nämlich mit Linux. Hier eine Übersicht.
#9to5Linux #Lubuntu #Xubuntu #AntiX #Linux

@jdkiser Very nice! As a long term #debian user I never understood the need for contraptions like #kubuntu, #xubuntu or any other distribution that predefined the user interface. You just install Debian and the #desktop_environments or #windowmanager you like (or none... long live the #cli!) and that's it.
My #Thinkpad #T420s, used for browsing and youtube (research for work, entertainment during stay at hotels) had Windows 10 and didn't fulfill the requirements for Windows 11.
I wanted to replace it with #Linux for long time anyway, and the EOL of Win10 was a perfect excuse to do it now.
I installed #Xubuntu, because it is used only sporadically and only has to do the mentioned jobs.
Interestingly, the graphics driver didn't allow newer #Minecraft versions on Windows, but under Linux it works fine.
Only issue is the WiFi card (Intel Centrino) that had to be adjusted a bit - power management stuff and had to disable 11n and enable swcrypto.
Now, I don't have any Windows devices any more, except on the work laptop (which I'm not allowed to change).
PS: My main PC still happily runs #Guix.
Wie krieg ich denn unter Xubuntu Töne aus einem kleinen Bluetooth-Lautsprecher?
Verbunden ist das Ding, aber ich find nix, wo ich auf den umschalten kann. :(
Ich habe gerade versucht auf ein altes #Chromebook #xubuntu zum laufen zu bringen.
Ich sage mal es lief ungefähr so: Bildschirm auf... WASFÜRNEKACKSCHEISSEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!!
ach Firmware kommt man auch mich nicht ran ohne extra Kabel ()
Schmeiß aus Fenster.
Geht mir wieder besser...
I just dropped off my mom’s Frankenstein computer. 2nd hard drive I’ve replaced in as many years. I couldn’t, in good conscience, put #Windows 10 back on it since it will be EOL in a few months. And there is no way this antique is running 11.
So, #Linux?!?! With only 6 GB RAM I went with #Xubuntu. WiFi and printer hooked up with no problem and she only needs a browser for 99% of her computing needs. #Firefox with uBlock Origin should do the trick. Fingers crossed.
Je partage avec vous le schéma de l'infra multimédia de mon salon, sur base de #LogicielsLibres. 
Je le dédie à Isabella Vanni de l'@aprilorg qui m'avait suggéré de partager ces infos autour de moi. C'est chose faite !

I have a laptop that can also run OS requiring modern hardware, such as Windows11 or Ubuntu. I but I prioritize low resource usage, so I’ve always installed #Xubuntu first and then #Lubuntu. But I discovered that #AntiX is even lighter, might be the better choice, I value raw efficiency and minimalism, and since it’s based on #Debian like Ubuntu, I can use the same programs. However Lubuntu offers a more "out-of-the-box" experience. So which is the better choice between Lubuntu and AntiX? #linux
