Ubuntu Studio: We Need Your Help
It’s not very often that we come to you, our users, asking for financial donations, yet here we are. We have fallen on some rough times here at the Ubuntu Studio project.
First of all, donations have dropped considerably. We understand the world financial climate has not been easy for any of us, and it has become harder for all of us to live. However, we do believe that if we all work together, we can help each other out.

Ubuntu 23.04 welcomes three more flavors, but hamburger menus leave a bad taste
The "Lunar Lobster" release of Ubuntu has welcomed two new official remixes, as well as the first updated Ubuntu Kylin in a year or so.
The 38th release of Ubuntu debuted late last month, and while this is an interim release which goes end-of-life next January, there are some significant changes to make it notable. The most visible are two new official flavors: Ubuntu Cinnamon and Edubuntu.
All use the new Flutter-based "Subiquity" installer, which is a little prettier than the old "Ubiquity." However, it's not really much more functional. Like the old one, the new installer's window still can't be resized – so, for example, if you have lots of disk partitions, you can't make the window big enough to see them all at once without scrolling. To use an existing partition, you must first choose the existing format – a redundant extra step. We'd hoped that the final version of the new installer would fix these minor issues, but we were disappointed.
