What's new in Xubuntu 22.10

Nov 1, 2022
  • MAJOR UPDATES:
  • Xfce 4.17, the development version of the next major release, is included in Xubuntu 22.10. Notable app updates include:
  • Catfish has a refreshed appearance with tweaks to each component. It also features a new “Open with” context menu and the Ctrl+A select-all accelerator.
  • Mousepad has added search history and the ability to reload files if they've been modified automatically.
  • Thunar now has built-in, recursive file search. It also includes a graphical shortcuts editor and per-directory zoom levels.
  • Thunar Archive Plugin now allows zip files (including odt, docx, and others) to be compressed.
  • Xfce Application Finder now supports the PrefersNonDefaultGPU property, correctly launching games and other apps on multi-GPU systems.
  • Xfce Desktop will now ask for confirmation before desktop icons are rearranged. A new option has been added to disable the “Delete” context menu item.
  • Xfce Notification Daemon features improved application icon and name matching and fixes notification position during the slideout animation.
  • Xfce Panel has added a new binary time mode and new middle-click options for the tasklist plugin. It also improves the handling and display of systray and status notifier applets.
  • Xfce PulseAudio Plugin features a new indicator for when any app is recording audio. Notifications are now displayed when the microphone volume level is changed.
  • Xfce Screenshooter fixes window capture for HiDPI, enables viewing your screenshot in the file manager, and adds a back button to take a new screenshot.
  • Xfce Task Manager adds a right-click option to copy the full process command line to the clipboard.
  • Xfce Terminal improves scrolling, adds a new “Fill” background image style, and fixes the “unsafe paste” dialog (allowing it to actually paste).
