The Return of UwUntu

The people behind UwUntu are back with a new version: 22.10! It brings some new programs and a different desktop environment to the system. This time around, I decided to install it on real hardware, so let's check it out!

[@szr8]

For most desktop users, rebooting isn't as common compared to Windows (typically mainly kernel and module/driver updates prompt for that, but almost never for userland stuff) and on most half decent modern hardware (especially with an SSD for the boot drive) startup times tend to be very short, so it probably isn't worth the effort compared to when boot times could be upwards of a minute, where it might be nice to have something pretty to watch while waiting.

I'm really tempted to use Uwuntu knowing they are this proud of it. Windows has been really frustrating me with all the weird stuff in 11. Can't even put my menu bars on the top of the screen because "noone does that" but they can shove ads at me? Friendly OS makers are always more attractive than "whoops, all monetization" ones.

Just use a more popular distro with KDE plasma if customization is what you want, Kubuntu or KDE Neon may be what you search for.

[@louistournas120]

If the ISO is smaller, it is bc there are some missing software. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. If it comes with KCalc, Kate, KolourPaint. I have installation files for the rest of the things I need to install.

[@mattnordsell9760]

@@louistournas120 It could be the extra stuff that the UwUntu put in that could be the reason that it is so much bigger. The vanilla version of Ubuntu Budgie is fairly lightweight and so, that could very well be.

UwUntu always disappointed me. Its a great Distro, but they could have done so much more with it. like at the very least I would have enjoyed the idea of getting a filter to go through and replace all U's with "UwU"'s and all L's and N's with W's. Was hoping for something truly cursed but fun when I heard of UwUntu, but its just a decent Distro with a funny name

[@nicelec]

I legit installed UwUntu on my computer because when i installed first Ubuntu, it was really broken, like plugging in an external monitor showed only a blank screen, and I found no way of fixing it. UwUntu IS the solution! Now I use it everyday for work, and a little for gaming and/or browsing the interenet.

[@louistournas120]

You can probably activate and control the 2nd monitor from the control panel of GNOME. However, I am more familiar with the KDE interface.

Thanks for reviewing this OS, I now have a Linux laptop that used to run windows 7 very slowly.
