A review of the KDE release candidate edition of Linux Mint 12. Overall a solid and user-friendly KDE distribution that provides a valuable alternative that would appeal to Windows users in its familiar look and feel. The system performs well and is ready to go out of the box with all the apps and codecs needed for everyday computing life. Definitely recommended for the new user.

Preview of Ubuntu 12.04, codenamed Precise Pangolin. In this video I show the new Heads Up Display (HUD) and Unity 5. HUD provides a method of accessing Application Menus via the Keyboard and typing the function that you want, it also learns from previous selections that you’ve made. At the moment Its in development and doesn’t work well in all programs. New features on Unity 5: Custom Colour on Unity Bar and Dash Switch Blur effect on & off on the Dash Unity Bar less sensitive when moving mouse to the left-hand side (no more making the Unity bar appear when trying to press Back button in Firefox) Other new features coming to Ubuntu 12.04: LTS Supported for 5 years Better support for Dual Monitors Global Menu can be switched off Unity Lens for using on Smart TVs Multiple Screenshots in Software Centre Customise wallpapers in Light DM wiki.ubuntu.com

I show the Unity 3D Desktop Environment in action on a full system install and cover a verity of topics including: 1: Installation – Dual booting with Windows 7 and using the automated partitioning. 2: Look at Pre-Installed Software Canonical have included on the install disk, including LibreOffice 3.3, Firefox 4, Banshee Media Player, Ubuntu One, Software Centre, Puzzle Games, and a 3D shooter. 3: Fancy Desktop Features – Tutorial on setting up Compiz effects and Coloured Mouse Cursors 4: Installing Software and suggestions of a Few Applications to try: Chromium, Gimp image editor, Inkscape vector graphic, Openshot, Zaz and Sauerbraten. 5: Conclusion 85% – A nice modern desktop environment, very easy to use, but not necessarily for everyones taste. Next version of Ubuntu (11.10) should offer a more customisable version of Unity. Website: www.ubuntu.com Download www.ubuntu.com
