Clear message

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

Our first (unofficial) release was 12.10 ("Quantal Quetzal"), released in October 2012. See the Release Notes for more information and download links.

The first official release will be 13.04, which will be available by the end of April 2013. If you're itching to try it now, check out the daily images here.

Introduction

Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. 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.

Upcoming Features for 13.04

  • While Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will ship with GNOME 3.6 by default (like 12.10), GNOME 3.8 will be available in the GNOME 3 PPA.
  • 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.
