Major Updates

Xfce 4.14

Released in August 2019, Xfce 4.14 is a modern desktop built on top of the latest libraries. From the release announcement:

In this 4.14 cycle the main goal was to port all core components to Gtk3 (over Gtk2) and GDBus (over D-Bus GLib). Most components also received GObject Introspection support. Along the way we ended up polishing our user experience, introducing quite a few new features and improvements (read below) and fixings a boatload of bugs (read changelog).

  • Improved support for suspend and hibernate, including laptops
  • Integration with Xfce Power Manager
  • Support for X11 Screensaver signals
  • DPMS support for better monitor power management
  • Support for all Xscreensaver screensavers

Keyboard Shortcuts

Xubuntu 19.10 includes two new keyboard shortcuts to make transitioning from other desktop environments easier.
