Welcome to Destination Linux Episode 18 with Michael Tunnell for 4-17-17 News Ubuntu Snaps to Integrate Fully with GNOME and KDE “Snaps continue for Ubuntu and other distributions (now Fedora, openSUSE, Debian and others). They will also integrate fully with GNOME, KDE, and I hope Elementary, MATE, etc. too,” said Mark Shuttleworth. “They are an amazingly clean way to deliver apps and since most of the major software companies target Ubuntu this is a good way to enable other distros to benefit too.” It’s Official: You Can Now Install Snap Packages on Fedora Linux Distributions Windows 10 Creators Update general rollout begins with a privacy dialogue Anbox – Android in a Box Ubuntu CEO Jane Silber Steps Down Ubuntu 17.04 Release Notes Ubuntu Mate Release Notes Ubuntu Gnome Announcement – Merging Kubuntu Release Notes Upgrade Instructions kdesudo “do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE” Ubuntu Budgie Release Notes Ubuntu Kylin Release Notes OBRevenge 4-8-17 Release with the announcement of the end of support for 32bit Linux Guest Michael Tunnell History of using Linux “Producer Michael” on LUP Currently involved in many projects, Ubuntu Mate, Antergos, Tux Digital with a new News show called This Week In Linux Ubuntu CEO Change Ubuntu’s choice of going with Gnome and Why not KDE?

Hope so :p cheers ========================================== Hi there I’m on 16.04.2 lts I always used to have this problem. Instead of a reboot I found online (can’t remember where) using ‘Sudo systemctl restart network-manager’ Worked and prevented a reboot. The problem stopped recently for me. However my upgrade to 16.04.2 coincided with a change of ISP and router. Didn’t think until I listened to this episode that I hadn’t pinned the problem to the router or wifI driver (I use broadcom with kernel firmware) All the best Jim ===================================================== Hi, destination linux is really a great , show! i wanted to comment on the kde sound switching issue. when you click on the sound icon in system tray, switch to the applications tab, there you can drag an drop the application sounds to your audio devices, there are also options in the sound settings, to change the behavior of the switching (change just one application or change all apllications at once for exampe). keep on the great work. greetings from germany Björn

What are your thoughts on whether or not the Linux distros should seriously begin thinking about making the desktop UIs more touch friendly?  I ask this because as you know, more and more ultrabooks and even some of the desktop all-in-one PCs have touch screens nowadays. By and large the Linux desktop user interfaces are still primarily mouse and keyboard focused.  Perhaps the Unity desktop comes the closest to being more touch friendly, but then there’s the question of the applications that are written for Linux as well.  Not that I’m suggesting that mouse and keyboard go away, but just provide touch capabilities as well.  The OS could add support for touchpad gestures, etc. Just wondering what your thoughts are?  May be a good discussion for you and Rocco on Destination Linux.  I know you have the Solus guy on there a week or so ago.  Perhaps he has some thoughts on this.
