Ubuntu Tweak An easy way to customise Ubuntu
Ubuntu Tweak An easy way to customise Ubuntu
Ive known about Ubuntu Tweak for a white, but I never really used it. To be honest, I dont know why: its an incredibly useful tool that saves hours of time searching for a terminal command of system file. Its beginner friendly too, with a graphical interface that is well designed, making it accessible to any user.
Tweak runs under standard privileges, so you shouldnt accidentally do something you didnt mean to and find your computer is broken.
Tweak combines lots of system utilities all into one place so you can easily find what youre looking for
Ubuntu Tweak is a "play, dont say" application. The best way youll learn about it is to try it out for yourself instead of reading an article. Its stored in the standard repositories (ubuntu-tweak) and installs to Applications > System Tools > Ubuntu Tweak.
If youre still skeptical, heres a partial list of what you can do:
- Search popular applications
- Update Ubuntu
- Change the login screen
- Basic configuration of Compiz and title bars
- Manage desktop icons
- Change power settings

Ubuntu leaving Upstart for Systemd a decision that will go a long way in preventing further fragmentation
Ubuntu leaving Upstart for Systemd a decision that will go a long way in preventing further fragmentation
Upstart is an event-based replacement for the init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running. The project was kick-started in early 2006 by Canonical. Systemd is similar to Upstart in core philosophies, but comes with added advantages. Initial release was in 2010. Mark Shuttleworth, in his latest blog post, has announced the switch to Systemd from Upstart.
Debians switch to Systemd prompts Canonical to change its direction
After much deliberations, Canonical founder and former-CEO Mark Shuttleworth has just announced the Ubuntus switch from Upstart to Systemd. A move widely seen as pragmatic by his critics and supporters alike. The decision comes after Debian Technical Committees selection of Systemd over Upstart. "The decision is for systemd, and given that Ubuntu is quite centrally a member of the Debian family, that�s a decision we support", he added.
Though Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" will still be running Upstart, you can expect the slow transition to happen starting from Ubuntu 14.10. Read more here.
