![]() ![]() These were for the most part fixed in the LTS, which we’re now happily running on a number of our machines. Everything from jittery animations to spamming the journal with arcane javascript warnings. There have been a number of performance and resource usage issues with Gnome, and in particular Canonical’s builds of it since it was reinstated as Ubuntu’s default desktop. We’d say it’s unlikely many of our readers will be running Microsoft AD at home, but if they are then they’ll be pleased with this integration. This, alongside the minimal install option, is a boon for businesses who would otherwise have to set all this up by hand. However, this time it has a checkbox for authenticating with an Active Directory (AD) domain. The Ubiquity installer is as straightforward as it’s always been.

Previously, the applications grid rendered with large borders on high-resolution displays, which made it seem unnecessarily cramped. But a little digging finds that this is possible through a Gsettings command. If you get carried away shuffling icons around, there’s no obvious way to restore order. You can continue this rearrangement inside application folders too, which are also a little smoother to work with now. If you want to put your favourites at the top of the resultant grid, you’re free to arrange it any way you like. The Frequently Used applications tab is no more, so opening the applications grid from the bottom right brings a flurry of application icons into view. The latest Gnome 3.38 release is featured and right away you’ll notice that it’s had a bit of a revamp. But if you do have really strong feelings against Snaps, it’s still possible to remove them and the daemon they rode in on.
