Voyager Live 18.10 is Release, See Whats New ?
The Voyager Live team has announced a new version of the project's Ubuntu-based distribution. The new release, Voyager Live 18.10, switches from using the Xfce desktop to using GNOME Shell as the default interface.
Voyager Live is an Xubuntu-based distribution and live DVD showcasing the Xfce desktop environment. Its features include the Avant Window Navigator or AWN (a dock-like navigation bar), Conky (a program which displays useful information on the desktop), and over 300 photographs and animations that can be used as desktop backgrounds.
Voyager - GE 18.10 based on the desktop Gnome-Shell and Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish). Gnome Shell Why now? Because Voyager had abandoned Gnome-Shell office 10 years ago to xfce, because of his youth and especially a lack of flexibility and extensions, issues at the time. Now, after several tests, the conclusion is that a part of Gnome Shell system is ergonomically new, changeable and flexible in its infancy. Also, he was considered to make a version called GE for Gnome Shell. Why the intermediate version of 9 months in 18.10 and not 18.04 LTS with its 3 years of media?Because of Gnome Shell 3.30.1 release not to install the 18.04 LTS, and much better than the 3.28 LTS was taking too many system resources. So soon for this new digital and human adventure.
The distribution Voyager is not a distribution with its deposits but an Ubuntu variant as mentioned above, with all its official repositories. The Voyager project share exactly the same basis, common software (software library or synaptic), the same deposits APT, the same code name and the same development cycle.
