Want to Upgrade to Xfce 4.18 on Xubuntu 22.04? Here’s How - OMG! Ubuntu!
Want to upgrade to Xfce 4.18 on Ubuntu 22.04 or 22.10? Packages added to the Xubuntu QA Staging PPA mean you can now do exactly that.
Not that you’re supposed to, though 😅.
See, while the Xubuntu QA Staging PPA does enable you to upgrade to Xfce 4.18 it’s not a repo meant for regular folks, and usage of it is at users’ own risk. Packages distributed through this PPA have no guarantees or promise of stability, and they may be removed or replaced at any moment, without warning.
That said, you can choose to use this PPA to install Xfce 4.18 on Ubuntu 22.04 or 22.10. I upgraded to Xfce 4.18 using this PPA and hit no major issues during my (somewhat brief) hands-on. Your milage will vary, but by using a PPA to upgrade you can use PPA Purge to downgrade back to your release’s original Xfce build if things go rogue.
Even so: if you do this do it knowing it’s not advised. And before running any commands at all make a backup of any important files, configs, and settings to a different device or cloud service.
Warnings out of the way, let’s get to the actual tutorial bit.
