Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. Our first (unofficial) release was 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), released in October 2012. See the [[UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10 | release notes]]. As the 12.10 release was our first release, there are still a few minor issues, but we proudly recommend Ubuntu GNOME to anyone interested in using Ubuntu with the best of what GNOME has to offer.

The first official release was 13.04 (Raring Ringtail).

'''The latest stable release is [[http://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-14-10-is-released/ | Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 (Utopic Unicon)]]'''.

Please join us and contribute to an exciting, international, free and open source software project. We look forward to working together with you.

 * 7 GB of free hard drive space for installation.

 * Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media.

 * Internet access is helpful (for installing updates during the installation process).

The few missing bits of 3.12 are available in [[https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 | ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3]]. We do NOT use gnome-software to install applications, instead we use Ubuntu Software Center.

 * gnome-maps and gnome-weather are now installed by default. gnome-photos, gnome-music and polari are available to install from the Ubuntu archive.

 * A set of '''10 new high-quality wallpapers''' are included by default.

 * '''GNOME Classic session''' is included. To try it, choose it from the Sessions option on the login screen.

 * '''Nautilus''' (File Manager). An easy to use file manager for organizing your documents, music, pictures, videos and files in general.

 * '''Firefox Web Browser'''. Browse the web with one of the most popular fast, flexible and secure web browsers.

 * '''LibreOffice'''. Create professional documents, spreadsheets, presentations and even more with the open-source office suite.

 * '''gedit''' (Text Editor). A small and lightweight text editor for the GNOME desktop environment.

 * '''Ubuntu Software Center'''. Lets you browse and install thousands of free and paid applications available for '''Ubuntu'''.

 * '''Tweak Tool'''. Change advanced settings – appearance, fonts, keyboard and mouse, windows and workspaces. Install extensions, set power options, select startup applications.

= Upgrading to the latest release =

Before upgrading, it is highly recommended to back up your data. See [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | this page]] for tutorials on how to backup your data. Or just download '''[[http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php | Clonezilla]]''' and create an image of your hard drive or system partition.

The included GUI update manager will offer you the latest release of '''Ubuntu GNOME'''. Which can also be accessed via Terminal:

{{{
sudo update-manager -d
}}}

Alternatively, launch '''Terminal''' by hitting Ctrl+Alt+T and run the following command:

{{{
sudo do-release-upgrade
}}}

'''Note'''. If you were using the '''gnome3-team/gnome3''' PPA, you should run
{{{
sudo ppa-purge
}}}
before upgrading.

 * If you are having problems with upgrading - '''''No new release found''''' - please [[http://askubuntu.com/questions/125392/why-is-no-new-release-found-when-upgrading-from-a-lts-to-the-next | see this]].
