It supports both SquashFS and DwarFS-packed AppImages, offers a macOS-style drag-to-install flow, handles bulk import of existing AppImages, and provides per-app settings for launch arguments, icons, environment variables, and portable home folders. Updates can be scheduled with zsync delta patches, and a CLI is bundled for terminal users. It's open source and distributed as an AppImage itself. 30 5 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ubuntu-26-10-will-add-ubuntu-certified-checking-to-settings-sbohimndq "Ubuntu 26.10 will add Ubuntu Certified checking to Settings") Article omg! ubuntu! · 7w Ubuntu 26.10 will add Ubuntu Certified checking to Settings Ubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray) is adding a hardware certification check directly to the Settings app under System > About. The new panel reads certification status from the local com.ubuntu.hwctl service (Canonical's hardware API introduced in 2025) and displays one of six possible statuses, including whether a device is certified, certified for a different Ubuntu version, or similar to a certified model. Users can also opt in to regular certification checks that send hardware details to Canonical servers, with no personal data included. The feature lands in gnome-control-center 1:51\~alpha-0ubuntu2 and should appear in daily builds ahead of the stable October release. 24 3 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/tuxedo-os-drops-ubuntu-to-rebase-on-debian-testing-1lqkcg5am "TUXEDO OS drops Ubuntu to rebase on Debian Testing") Article omg! ubuntu! · 9w TUXEDO OS drops Ubuntu to rebase on Debian Testing TUXEDO Computers is rebasing its custom Linux distribution, TUXEDO OS, from Ubuntu LTS to Debian Testing. The move is driven by growing maintenance burdens from backporting Qt packages against an aging LTS base, concerns over Canonical's strategic direction including the push toward Snap packages, lack of transparency around AI features, and slow security updates. By tracking Debian Testing permanently, TUXEDO OS gains a quasi-rolling release model with fresher software and greater independence. Key technical changes include switching the default filesystem from EXT4 to Btrfs, paired with SUSE's Snapper tool for automatic post-update snapshots and easy rollbacks. A clean install will be required; existing users who prefer Ubuntu can migrate to Kubuntu. A beta of the Debian-based TUXEDO OS is forthcoming. 21 1 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/ubuntu-s-desktop-icons-extension-completes-its-gtk4-port-jsn1t8ykk "Ubuntu’s desktop icons extension completes its GTK4 port") Article omg! ubuntu! · 7w Ubuntu’s desktop icons extension completes its GTK4 port Desktop Icons NG (DING), the GNOME Shell extension Ubuntu uses for desktop icons, has completed its port to GTK4 in version 51.0.0\. The update brings early GNOME 51 support, memory leak fixes, and several usability improvements including asynchronous clipboard reading for faster right-click menus, keyboard navigation for file stacks, improved archive filename detection with .zst support, and visual updates to dialogs and context menus. The GTK4 changes will ship in Ubuntu 26.10 (October 2026) but won't be backported to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, though manual installation from source is possible. 15 4 [See all omg! ubuntu! archives](/sources/omgub/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/omgub/best-of/2026/07#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/omgub/best-of/2026/07","name":"Best omg! ubuntu!
