Kubuntu

November 28, 2023

Kubuntu (/kʊˈbʊntuː/ kuu-BUUN-too)[3] is an official flavor of the Ubuntu operating system that uses the KDE Plasma Desktop instead of the GNOME desktop environment. As part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu uses the same underlying systems. Kubuntu shares the same repositories as Ubuntu[4] and is released regularly on the same schedule as Ubuntu.[5]

Kubuntu was sponsored by Canonical Ltd. until 2012, and then directly by Blue Systems. Now, employees of Blue Systems contribute upstream to KDE and Debian, and Kubuntu development is led by community contributors. During the changeover, Kubuntu retained the use of Ubuntu project servers and existing developers.[6]

Name edit

"Kubuntu" is a registered trademark held by Canonical.[7] It is derived from the name Ubuntu, prefixing a K to represent the KDE platform that Kubuntu is built upon (following a widespread naming convention of prefixing K to the name of any software released for use on KDE platforms), as well as the KDE community.

Ubuntu is a Bantu term translating roughly to 'humanity'. Since Bantu grammar involves prefixes to form noun classes, and the prefix ku- has the meaning 'toward' in Bemba, kubuntu is therefore also a meaningful Bemba word or phrase translating to 'toward humanity'. Reportedly, the same word, by coincidence, also takes the meaning of 'free' (in the sense of 'without payment') in Kirundi.[8]

Comparison with Ubuntu edit

Kubuntu typically differs from Ubuntu in graphical applications and tools:

Software Ubuntu Kubuntu
Kernel and core Linux kernel and Ubuntu core
Display server X.Org Server and Wayland
Sound PulseAudio
Multimedia Totem and Rhythmbox VLC and Elisa
Window manager Mutter KWin
Desktop GNOME Plasma Desktop
Primary toolkit GTK Qt
Browser Firefox
Office suite LibreOffice
Email and PIM Thunderbird Kontact

History edit

Development started back in December 2004 at the Ubuntu Mataró Conference in Mataró, Spain[9] when a Canonical employee Andreas Mueller, from Gnoppix, had the idea to make an Ubuntu KDE variant and got the approval from Mark Shuttleworth to start the first Ubuntu variant, called Kubuntu. On the same evening Chris Halls from the OpenOffice.org project and Jonathan Riddell from KDE started volunteering on the newborn project.

Shortly after Ubuntu was started, Mark Shuttleworth stated in an interview that he recognized the need for KDE-based distribution in order to maintain diversity in Linux distributions, which in his belief aligns with Ubuntu project's overall purpose of increasing the adoption of free software.[10]

K Desktop Environment 3 was used as default interface until Kubuntu 8.04. That version included KDE Plasma Desktop as unsupported option which became default in the subsequent release, 8.10.[11]

On February 6, 2012 (2012-02-06), Canonical employee Jonathan Riddell announced the end of Canonical's Kubuntu sponsorship.[12] On April 10, 2012 (2012-04-10), Blue Systems was announced on the Kubuntu website as the new sponsor.[1] As a result, both developers employed by Canonical to work on Kubuntu–Jonathan Riddell and Aurélien Gâteau–transferred to Blue Systems.[13]

Releases edit

Kubuntu follows the same naming/versioning system as Ubuntu, with each release having a code name and a version number (based on the year and month of release). Canonical provides support and security updates for Kubuntu components that are shared with Ubuntu for 18 months – five years in case of long-term support (LTS) versions – after release.[14] Both a desktop version and an alternative (installation) version (for the x86 and AMD64 platforms) are available. Kubuntu CDs were also available through the ShipIt service (which was discontinued as of April 2011).[15]

System requirements edit

The desktop version of Kubuntu currently supports the AMD 64 architectures, Intel x86 support was discontinued after the 18.04 release and existing 32-bit users will be supported until 2023.[113]

Deployments edit

Kubuntu rollouts include the world's largest Linux desktop deployment, that includes more than 500,000 desktops in Brazil (in 42,000 schools of 4,000 cities).[114][115][116][117]

The software of the 14,800 Linux workstations of Munich was switched to Kubuntu LTS 12.04 and KDE 4.11.[118][119]

The Taipei City Government decided to replace Windows with a Kubuntu distribution on 10,000 PCs for schools.[120][121]

The French Parliament announced in 2006 that they would switch over 1,000 workstations to Kubuntu by June 2007.[122][123]

A Kubuntu distribution, by La Laguna University, is used in more than 3,000 computers spread in several computer labs, laboratories and libraries, among other internal projects in the Canary Islands.[124] Since October 2007, Kubuntu is now used in all of the 1,100 state schools in the Canary Islands.[125][126]

The second point release update in February 2021 to Kubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa) contains all the bug-fixes added to 20.04 since its first release. Users can run the normal update procedure to get these bug-fixes.[127]

requirements 6 Deployments 7 Gallery 8 See also 9 References 10 External linksName edit Kubuntu is a registered trademark held by Canonical 7 It is derived from the name Ubuntu prefixing a K to represent the KDE platform that Kubuntu is built upon following a widespread naming convention of prefixing K to the name of any software released for use on KDE platforms as well as the KDE community Ubuntu is a Bantu term translating roughly to humanity Since Bantu grammar involves prefixes to form noun classes and the prefix ku has the meaning toward in Bemba kubuntu is therefore also a meaningful Bemba word or phrase translating to toward humanity Reportedly the same word by coincidence also takes the meaning of free in the sense of without payment in Kirundi 8 Comparison with

KontactHistory editDevelopment started back in December 2004 at the Ubuntu Mataro Conference in Mataro Spain 9 when a Canonical employee Andreas Mueller from Gnoppix had the idea to make an Ubuntu KDE variant and got the approval from Mark Shuttleworth to start the first Ubuntu variant called Kubuntu On the same evening Chris Halls from the OpenOffice org project and Jonathan Riddell from KDE started volunteering on the newborn project Shortly after Ubuntu was started Mark Shuttleworth stated in an interview that he recognized the need for KDE based distribution in order to maintain diversity in Linux distributions which in his belief aligns with Ubuntu project s overall purpose of increasing the adoption of free software 10 K Desktop Environment 3 was used as default interface until Kubuntu 8 04 That version included KDE Plasma Desktop as unsupported option which became default in the subsequent release 8 10 11 On February 6 2012 2012 02 06 Canonical employee Jonathan Riddell announced the end of Canonical s Kubuntu sponsorship 12 On April 10 2012 2012 04 10 Blue Systems was announced on the Kubuntu website as the new sponsor 1 As a result both developers employed by Canonical to work on Kubuntu Jonathan Riddell and Aurelien Gateau transferred to Blue Systems 13 Releases editKubuntu follows the same naming versioning system as Ubuntu with each release having a code name and a version number based on the year and month of release Canonical provides support and security updates for Kubuntu components that are shared with Ubuntu for 18 months five years in case of long term support LTS versions after release 14 Both a desktop version and an alternative installation version for the x86 and AMD64 platforms are available Kubuntu CDs were also available
