PeaZip 10.1 is here only two weeks after PeaZip 10 and updates the backend to Pea 1.21, which introduces scrypt KDF as the default option instead of PBKDF2 to improve resilience to password-guessing attacks.

Kubuntu 22.04 with Legacy Oxygen Theme

This tutorial will help you using silver, metallic theme "Oxygen" that was popular in the era of KDE 4 on the modern Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". In short, we will use Elarun as wallpaper and Oxygen as the rest of the whole themes including application style, colors, icons, Plasma style, and splash screen. All in all, we want to offer the best visual experience we had in the past to new generation of Kubuntu users as well as the long time users themselves especially those who appreciate nostalgia.

UPDATE

Liliputing:

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 release candidate is now available for select smartphones and tablets - Liliputing

Canonical scrapped its plans to bring Ubuntu to smartphones and tablets years ago. But the independent developers at UBPorts have been keeping the dream alive since 2017.

Now they’ve announced a release candidate of a new build of Ubuntu Touch that marks a major milestone: it’s the first version of the Linux-based operating system based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

A week later:

Ubuntu Touch Isn't Dead Yet

Ubuntu developer Canonical tried years ago to make its way to the smartphone game with Ubuntu Touch. It failed to take off, but independent developers have kept the dream alive. Now, we have a build based on Ubuntu 20.04.

A release candidate build of Ubuntu Touch based on 20.04 has been released by the independent developers at UBports, letting you make your phone Linux-powered. That’s not the newest version of Ubuntu, as it was first released in 2020. However, Ubuntu Touch has been stuck in 16.04 since Canonical abandoned the project, so this is the first time the underlying OS has actually been updated since UBports began maintaining it.
