New This Launch
Ubuntu Studio Characteristic Uninstaller

A brand new addition to the Ubuntu Studio Installer bundle is the Ubuntu Studio Characteristic Uninstaller which performs the reverse of the Ubuntu Studio Installer: removes teams of packages from the Ubuntu Studio set up so long as they aren’t required by one other group of packages. For instance, when you have ubuntustudio-photography put in and ubuntustudio-graphics put in however want to uninstall ubuntustudio-photography, you’ll nonetheless have gimp put in because it’s a part of the ubuntustudio-graphics metapackage. This methodology of uninstallation is secure and efficient at making your digital studio yours.

Ceaselessly Requested Questions
Q: Does Ubuntu Studio include snaps?
A: Sure. Mozilla’s distribution settlement with Canonical modified, and Ubuntu was pressured to not distribute Firefox in a local .deb bundle. Now we have discovered that, after quite a few enhancements, Firefox now performs simply in addition to the native .deb bundle did.
Moreover, FreeShow is an Electron-based software. Electron-based purposes can’t be packaged within the Ubuntu repositories in that they can’t be packaged in a standard Debian supply bundle. Whereas such apps do have a construct system to create a .deb binary bundle, it circumvents the supply bundle construct system which is required when packaging for Ubuntu. Nonetheless, Electron apps even have a facility for creating snaps, which could be uploaded to the snap retailer. Due to this fact, for FreeShow to be included in Ubuntu Studio, it needed to be packaged as a snap.
