Welcome

Ubuntu GNOME is an official flavour of Ubuntu, featuring the GNOME desktop environment.

Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. Our first (unofficial) release was 12.10 ("Quantal Quetzal"), released in October 2012. See the Release Notes. As the 12.10 release was our first release, there are still a few minor issues, but we proudly recommend Ubuntu GNOME to anyone interested in using Ubuntu with the best of what GNOME has to offer.

The first official release, 13.04 ("Raring Ringtail").

Please join us and contribute to an exciting, International, Free and Open Source Software project. We look forward to working together with you.

System Requirements

It is recommended to have at least 1 GB of RAM or more (we shall soon do re-assessment for further specific details). If you have an old machine, you may consider other alternatives like Lubuntu.

Features of 13.04

  • Mozilla Firefox will be the default Web browser, instead of Web (epiphany-browser).

  • LibreOffice will be included as the office suite, replacing AbiWord and Gnumeric.

  • Ubuntu Software Center and Ubuntu's Software Updater will be available for use instead of GNOME's software application.
