It's a rare event. It only happens once every two years. And that is a new release of Auntu as far as their long-term support release, their LTS releases, which is what 95% of Auntu desktop users typically that's what they stick to, the LTS release. And this happens every 2 years in April. And we just had the new release of Auntu 26. 04 camed Resolute Raccoon. and I'm going to take a quick first look of Auntu 2604 inside a virtual machine today. So, I went ahead and downloaded the ISO for the flagship edition of Auntu 2604. Uh the download size was kind of big. It was like a 6 gig download. It's not the biggest ISO in the world, but it's not necessarily slim either. And when you first boot in to the desktop environment, uh, the very first time, if you burn this to a USB stick, you're going to get immediately asked, "Hey, choose your language. " We're going to run through an installation. I'm going to go ahead and run through a proper installation. But for me, I don't love the white application here. It's kind of blinding as far as the screen on my eyes, and it's probably hurting you guys watching the video. I'm going to see if I can go in here and choose dark cell, and maybe, yep, that does change the application here. So that's much better on the eyes. So my language is English. Nothing to do here. Just click next. And then accessibility in Auntu. I don't have any uh accessibility issues. So I don't need to choose anything here. But if you do have uh some sort of visual or uh hearing disability, you certainly could do some stuff here. I'm going to go ahead and click next. Select the keyboard layout. I use English US. So I'm good here. All I need to do is click next and then connect to the internet. So, I have a wired connection, which is fine. Or I could choose do not connect to the internet, but I don't know why I wouldn't want to connect to the internet since I'm on an Ethernet anyway. I'll go ahead and click next. And then do I want to install Auntu or just try Auntu? If you click try Auntu, it's just going to close the installation program. And you can play around in the live environment. But for me, I want to run through a proper installation. So, I'm going to do install Auntu. And then, how would you like to install Auntu? Interactive or automated with auto install file? I don't have a auto install file, so I can't pick that. And then automated with landscape. I don't know what the hell landscape is. This is for users and organizations that provide an auto install file. So since I don't have auto install file, these last two options are not for me. I'll do the interactive installation and then click next. What apps would you like to install to start with? The default selection or the extended selection. That's going to have u a full suite of applications including an office suite and various utilities and web browsers and things like that. For me, I want the default selection because I'm in a virtual machine and I'm kind of limited on space here in a virtual machine. I don't want to install a whole bunch of stuff. So, I'm going to go with the default selection of software. And then install recommended proprietary software. Yeah, you're going to need proprietary video drivers. Especially if you have an Nvidia card, you're going to want those uh proprietary Nvidia drivers. If you're installing this on a laptop, you probably have a proprietary Wi-Fi chip. So, you need to tick this on. Make sure you tick on install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware. If you don't, uh, your experience could be pretty bad. Also, go ahead and tick on download and install support for additional media format. So, this is your multimedia codecs that are needed to properly play all the various audio and video formats. So, just tick those on and then click next. And then what to do with the disc? Erase disc and install Auntu. So, we're just going to wipe out the entire virtual hard drive in this virtual machine and give it over to Iuntu. That's what I'm going to do. But if I wanted to, I could do a manual partition as well. Uh, this would be necessary if you were trying to dual boot Auntu alongside another operating system such as Windows, for example. But for me, uh, I'm just going to give the entire disc over to Auntu. So, I'm going to click next. And then encryption and file system. No encryption. Encrypt with a passphrase. Use hardwarebacked encryption. Uh, so if in a virtual machine I don't need to encrypt, but if I was doing this on a real machine, especially a laptop that could get stolen or lost, I would want to encrypt. And let's choose encrypt with a passphrase and then click next. And then the passphrase. And for me, I'm going to uh do a strong and complicated passphrase and then confirm the strong and complicated passphrase. And then click next. And then let's create our username. My username on this computer will be DT. And then we need to create a strong and complicated password for the DT user. Confirm the strong and complicated password. And then require my password to log in. Yes, for privacy reasons. You should be required to enter a password to get into your computer. And then use Active Directory. No, I don't know what Active Directory is. So, I'm not going to take that on the host name of the computer. I'm going to call this computer iuntu-v. Uh that way if I ever SSH into this virtual machine, I will know this is my

### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RpHc4Wl0N8&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00)

Auntu virtual machine. And then click next. Choosing my time zone. It has correctly chosen via uh I guess some geo location that I am in the central time zone in the US. It has chosen uh Chicago, US. I'm not in Chicago, but I am in the central time zone. So that works. Let me click next and then review the choices. We get a summary of all our choices that were made here. I'm going to click the install button and away we go. Now, this portion of the installation typically takes between 5 and 10 minutes. So, I'm going to pause the video and I will be back once the installation has completed. And the installation completed. That took about 10 minutes or so. I'm going to go ahead and click the restart now button. And I've rebooted the machine. It looks like everything is working. Let me go ahead and type my super secure encryption passphrase and hit enter. And then we come to the login manager. Let me go ahead and click on my DT username and enter the password for DT. And it launches us into the Gnome 50 desktop environment. But before we do anything else, I notice that the screen resolution is a little wonky here. It's uh not the correct 1920x 1080 resolution that I need. So, I'm going to search for displays and go to the display settings program here and choose resolution and go up to 1920x 1080. I'm going to click apply. Going to tell it to keep these changes. And now, every time that I log in to this virtual machine, it should remember that I want a 1920x 1080 screen resolution. Now, the first thing we're greeted with is this welcome program that I guess is going to tell us a little bit about iuntu 2604. I'm going to click next. uh location services. So we can choose to turn on geol location services. If this was a real installation, I might turn that on a virtual machine. I don't really need it, so I'll skip that. And then help improve Auntu. So do you want to send information back to Canonicle so they can help further develop Auntu and they this will give them information about your uh system hardware and stuff like that. If you want to share that, you can tick that on. And I would, you know, I don't mind sharing like crash reports and stuff with the team. So, I would probably tick all of this on in this virtual machine. Though, I'm not going to bother. So, I'm going to click next and then choose your look. Uh, I've got the dark mode enabled, and that's what I want. If I wanted to, I could go back to the white uh mode, but for me, I want the dark mode here. Uh, accent color by default is orange. Auntu likes orange accents, but if you wanted to choose a different accent, you know, something like a blue accent, for example, you certainly could. or maybe something more purplish, which still kind of fits with, you know, the Auntu colors as well. Yeah, I kind of like that. Let's go ahead and click next and then open App Center. And so, we could go ahead and install some extra applications right away if we wanted to, but we'll go to that later. Let's go ahead and click finish. And I notice we've got our home folder icon sitting on the desktop. For me, I don't like desktop icons, so I would probably just delete that or hide that. So, if I go into uh the menu here and go to settings, let's go ahead and find a way to turn off the desktop icons. So, I'm assuming that would probably be something under appearance possibly. Uh appearance is the theme and the wallpaper. Auntu desktop. Here we go. Show home folder. No, let's turn that off. Also, while we're at it, I think the side dock is a little bigger than what I would want. Let's bump that down from 48 down to 36. Yeah, I think that's uh much more uh appropriate. Now, let's take a quick look at some of the software that is installed out of the box here on Auntu 2604. Remember, this is the default uh software installation. So, not the extended uh with all the extra packages. So, we're not going to have a lot installed here. We have calculator, which of course is going to be the Gnome calculator. We've got firmware. firmware is uh so you can go and get those proprietary drivers that you probably need for uh your Nvidia card and your Wi-Fi chips. Now, inside this virtual machine, I don't have anything that needs a proprietary driver or any kind of firmware update. So, you know, nothing to do here inside the uh the virtual machine here. But on physical hardware, you may want to run that. Then we have language support. We have Gnome clocks. We have resources. Resources is interesting because according to the release notes, they have swapped out the Gnome system monitor for a new system monitor program called resources. And well, this looks nice. We can get some graphs for, you know, CPU, GPU, RAM. Uh, this is kind of cool. We got Ethernet uh, you know, network uh, graph as well. So, pretty cool stuff here. We got events and task reminders. Let's click on that. Can I click on that? Or maybe yeah, there's nothing to click on. It just is what it is. Let's go to the process viewer. Okay, so this is your process viewer where you can kill running processes. So

### [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RpHc4Wl0N8&t=600s) Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00)

think of, for example, if you're used to using something like htop in the terminal to kill processes. This is kind of a gooey way to, you know, find a process and kill it should you need to. Yeah, I think this is a really cool program. I actually think that's a very smart change. I really like the look of that system uh monitoring uh tool there. I'm not a guey system monitor kind of guy. But yeah, I really like that one. We have the security center here. I'm assuming this would be for like firewall and stuff like that. Abuntu pro. You could subscribe to that. I'm not going to. App permissions require apps to ask for system permissions. This is experimental, but you could turn it on if you wanted to play with that. Uh disc encryption settings not available. So really nothing here uh worth playing with. So uh not much to do there. Software updater, of course, that's to update the system. This ISO was just released yesterday. There shouldn't be a lot of updates, so I won't bother taking that. Settings is the settings manager. The Gnome settings manager we were in just a minute ago. Terminal, I'm assuming, would be the Gnome terminal. Wow, interesting colors. I guess that's based on the highlight color. I chose purple, so I guess it kind of dynamically adjusts based on that is what I'm assuming. But yeah, this is this very reddish purplish. This is terminal 50. 1. And while I'm in the terminal because there are some under the hood changes, right? It's a new big release. What kernel are we on? So I'm going to do aame if I can type youame-r. We are on Well, we're on the Linux kernel 7. 0. 0. 0. So yeah, the newly released kernel 7. 0. One other thing to note is because we're on Gnome50 uh we no longer have uh exorg support. If I do an echo uh dollar sign xdg session type all caps. You can see we're running under whin and that's the only choice uh in the login manager. There's no way to fall back and use gnome with exorg anymore. It's just strictly whining. it is what it is. Now, if I do a apt list-installed, that will give me a list of all the installed packages that were installed via the apt package manager. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to pipe that into grip and let's grip for exorg. Let's see how many packages that contain the word exorg are actually in that list. Doesn't look like there's any. That is interesting. Uh, if I do a apt list--install and do a line count on that, let's see how many packages are installed via the apt package manager. 1,639. Let me also do a snap list. How many snaps are installed out of the box? Uh, Firefox is installed as a snap. Uh, and other than that, not much. The snap store, so your software store, that's about it. You know, people sometimes will complain, I don't want snaps, you know, whatever. Well, there's nothing really shipping out of the box installed as a snap. If you want to install some snaps, it's available for you. If you don't, well, that's fine, too, right? I I've never understood the people that think snaps are being forced on them. That has never been the case with Auntu. And I've been an Iuntu user since like 2008. And even though I don't necessarily use uh Auntu as my desktop uh operating system, I do install Auntu on servers a lot. And of course, Snaps on the server is actually fantastic. I love installing, for example, NexCloud as a snap package. But again, I don't have to, right? I could install Nexcloud the oldfashioned way, you know, through your standard LAMP stack kind of installation, but you know, snaps do make some things uh much easier. Getting back into the menu system. Um, text editor is our text editor. What text editor? LFI know. Gnome doesn't want you to know what text editor is, right? They don't give you a real program name. It's just a generic name. It's the text editor. Text editor 50. 0. So, probably something similar to like a gedit or a notepad in Windows. You know, it's a plain text editor. Then you have subcategories for utilities. So some of the uh Gnome utilities like the uh PDF viewer, Gnome fonts, the image viewer, the password and keys tool. Then you have a system category with some Gnome system stuff such as the disk usage analyzer and the disk manager. So your partition manager probably not something you really want to play around with. Looking at some of the release announcements for this version of Auntu. I'm going to go back to the uh terminal here. One thing that is interesting, I'm going to do a pseudoapp update. And the reason I'm going to do this is because it's going to ask for a sudo password. Watch what happens when I type the password. It shows asterisks over my password. Right? And this is nice. If visually you need to know if you're typing the right amount of

### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RpHc4Wl0N8&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00)

characters or if you're typing at all for security and privacy reasons, you may not want people, for example, on a video as a content creator. I don't want people to know how long my passwords are if I'm typing them out on a video. So, I think you can turn that off. I believe the uh tab key could turn that off. And now, yeah, I can type. And you see no asterisk. So, that's how you know I would do that. Let me go ahead and kill that. Going to up arrow sudo apt update. And now, yeah, what I have to do is tab before. Yeah. So, I wonder if there's a way to permanently disable that. because I know some people will like the asterisk as a content creator. I'd hate it though. So, a couple of other changes as far as software. I didn't see a video player installed here. Uh, was there one? Uh, I guess because I did the more minimal install, I didn't get a video player. Those of you that install the extended uh software package though, the media player, the video player is no longer Totem, which has been the standard video player in Gnome for what seems like forever, since the beginning practically, right? They've now replaced Totem with the Showtime video player. Obviously, because we're on the latest version of Gnome, Gnome 50, you know, there's some visualization changes and animation changes. uh some of the visual changes here in Auntu. The uh top panel no longer uses transparency. Uh I haven't actually taken a look at the center the notifications and our calendar and events. Now all of this looks really good, right? I will say Gnome 50 looks great out of the box, right? Um we've got is this a screenshot uh tool here? Yeah, nice. I like that that's built in right there where you can get to it. That's something for me. I take screenshots all the time and I love having a quick way to get to a screenshot utility. And then you got your uh settings and then you've got the lock for the lock screen and then you got your uh session here where you can do a restart or log out etc. Some other neat changes are well-being. If I go to typing well-being here there is settings well-being in the settings manager. Now what is that? Well this is screen time unavailable. This is a way to monitor uh I guess your computer usage. So, this is kind of cool. Eyesight reminders, you can turn that on. Movement It's all turned off by default. But for those that want to uh kind of keep tabs on how long they're sitting in front of a computer screen, that is really neat. One other thing I want to check, let me do a control alt t to bring up the terminal. That's a standard key binding in iuntu and a lot of distributions. Crl alt t often is the key binding to bring up the terminal. I want to check and see if htop is installed. Htop is not. So let me do a sudoapp install htop. And while I'm here, let me go ahead and also install Vim because I don't think Vim is installed out of the box either and I may want Vim at some point. This has been a standard complaint of mine dating back for decades now, right? is that you know htop and vim are kind of standards like they should just be on every Linux distribution and you know every time I take a look at iuntu it always amazes me that you know they've got stuff installed it's not like it's the most minimal distribution ever but to not have htop or vim installed it just doesn't make sense to me but I'm going to run htop and let's check system resource usage and yeah we're not using much CPU right now really shouldn't be using any cuz I'm not doing much on the computer and RAM. We're using 1. 1 gig of the 6 gigs of RAM that I gave this virtual machine, which is pretty standard for Gnome. It typically uses a little more than a gig of RAM uh every time I take a look at Gnome in these virtual machines with these settings. So, it's about standard. Now, one thing to note is this latest version of Auntu, they have bumped up the minimum system requirements. They do say that. Now the processor, you need a 2 ghahz dual core or better processor to run Auntu. I think for most people, practically everybody should be good on that. For RAM, they recommend a minimum now of 6 GB. So they say 4 GB might work on some of the smaller flavors like a Zubuntu or a Lubuntu, but for Gnome, you need 6 GB. I think realistically for modern computing, most everybody's probably going to have 8 GB on their machine. If you don't have 8 GB, then you probably shouldn't be running uh the Gnome desktop environment with Auntu. You're probably going to need to go to something smaller, something like a Lubuntu. Also, storage, they recommend 25 GB of free space now. And they say 50 to 100 GB is recommended for dual booting because you got to save room for the other operating system and that other operating system a lot of times is Windows and Windows requires a ton of

### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RpHc4Wl0N8&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 23:00)

space. And then we should talk about the support. So Auntu 2604 is a LTS release meaning it gets 5 years of support. So, if you install it now, you could run it until, you know, 2031, right? And get support through that entire 5-year period. Realistically, what most people do on iuntu LTS releases, you run them for 2 years. You'll run uh for example 2404. You installed that 2 years ago. And here in about 2 months, you will get prompted to update to 2604. You won't get it right now because uh it's a brand new release and they want to make sure that things are stable. But there will be a point release I believe in June. You'll get 2604. 1 come out. And when you get that come out, everybody on 2404 will be prompted, hey, would you like to move to 2604 now and then you'll be offered that upgrade path. And I'm going to have to upgrade a number of machines because I do have some friends and family uh computers that I've installed Iuntu 244 on that in June I will need to make sure that I get them onto 2604 assuming that their computer can handle it. If it, then we may put them on uh something a little lighter. One final thing I wanted to do, as always, let's take a look at the wallpapers because Ubuntu is one of those distributions that always includes a new wallpaper pack with each release and it's always really nice. Like they typically have some crazy good wallpapers. So, you know, you got some abstract art in here. Some of this, what is this? Raccoons. Okay, makes sense, right? Resolute raccoon. You got some u obviously photographs. It's a really beautiful aurora. You got Yeah, a forest. You got some lightning. Really cool stuff here. Um, yeah, a flower here. Yeah, this is really neat stuff. You got a lot of resolute raccoon stuff. So, that's the I guess the uh for the dark mode raccoon. If I was doing the light mode, I would have the uh purple raccoon available for me. And here's another one with raccoons. a lot of raccoon stuff as you would expect. And here's one of the raccoon wallpapers. I really like that. Uh for the dark mode, instead of going with the gray wallpaper, which is not much contrast, we need a little contrast. So for me, I think I would do the purple raccoon with the dark mode. So there you have it. A very quick and cursory look at the new iuntu 604 cenamed Resolute Raccoon. For all of those at Canonicle and for those that helped work on Auntu, all you guys that made commits and helped beta test and everything that made this release possible, I want to congratulate you guys and say job well done. Now, before I go, I need to thank a few special people. the producers of this episode, Matt, Steve, George, Dar, Lee, Mark, Methos, Uran, Parch and Fedor, Realities for Less, Roland, Morento, and Abuntu, and Willie. These guys, they're my highest tiered patrons over on Patreon without these guys. This quick look at Auntu 2604 would not have been possible. The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies and gentlemen. All these names you're seeing on the screen right now. These are all my supporters over on Patreon because I don't have any corporate sponsors. I'm sponsored by you guys, the community. If you like my work and want to see more videos about Linux and free and open source software like Auntu, subscribe to Dro Tube over on Patreon. Peace, guys.
