Secondly, UbuntuDDE enables zram memory compression by default, even if you tell it to use a swapfile.Īs with other Chinese-influenced distros, UbuntuDDE is very colorful, with sound effects at login and logout, animated mouse pointers, and an assortment of attractive wallpapers. The Firefox browser is a native Debian-packaged version. Although Snap support is present, there are no Snap packages at all installed by default. We noticed two other interesting touches.

A match made in heaven: systemd comes to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Serious surfer? How to browse like a pro on Firefox.

Is it a bird? Is it Microsoft Office? No, it's Onlyoffice: Version 7.2 released.

Removing an obsolete AMD fix makes Linux kernel 6 quicker.

The only Ubuntu 22.04 flavors to use less memory are Lubuntu and Xubuntu. It took up just 8.5GB of disk, less than anything except Lubuntu (we have a breakdown of remixes' resource usage here if you fancy), and at idle, RAM usage was just 584MB, which equals KDE Plasma, the lightest of the mainstream Ubuntu desktops. Saying that, though, the result was relatively lightweight.

Well, UbuntuDDE requires even more, and won't even try to install with less than 20GB.

Last time we mentioned that Ubuntu Cinnamon was the only remix to demand more than 16GB of disk. To give numbers comparable to our recent roundup of the official Ubuntu remixes, as well as the unofficial ones (see bootnote), we used identical settings: 4000MB of RAM, two CPU cores, and 3D acceleration enabled. We tried UbuntuDDE in VirtualBox and on bare metal, and it worked fine in both. Neither desktop feels as mature as that of Windows itself, and the Start menu, while flexible, isn't as customizable (although saying that, Windows 11 itself feels very limited in this department compared to 10, just as Windows 10 was a pale shadow of Windows 7's tasteful bling). Some similar comments apply to the latest release and beta versions of Linux Deepin.

Desktop search only offers Baidu or other Chinese search engines, a weather applet that only offers cities in China, and app stores full of Chinese-language apps. We looked at the Ubuntu Kylin family recently, and noted that while the UKUI desktop is a pleasure to use, many of the distros' other functions are annoyingly Sino-centric. To be honest, the experience is quite similar to that of the various editions of Ubuntu with the UKUI desktop.

Newly installed apps are highlighted with a glowing blue dot, and the Start menu also has quick-access buttons for the various built-in subfolders of your home directory. That can be a bit overwhelming so both sizes also have a categorized view, which splits apps up into Internet, Video, Graphics, Office, and System.

A button in the corner switches it to a full-screen app launcher, if that's what you prefer. The Start menu defaults to one long alphabetical list. UbuntuDDE has a colorful Windows-like desktop, with light and dark modes, integrated search, an on-screen keyboard, and more
