Ubumbano njenge-desktop emiselweyo ayisayi kubakho kuhlobo olulandelayo lwe-Ubuntu, oko kukuthi, ngaphantsi kwenyanga. Oko kuthetha ukuba uninzi luya kukhangela ukhetho olulunge ngakumbi kwizixhobo zabo ezindala. Kulapho iidesktops ezikhanyayo ziya kudlala khona, iindlela ezikhaphukhaphu kwiGnome eyaziwayo okanye iPlasma ebonelela ngokufanayo ngezixhobo ezingaphantsi.
Olu khetho lunomdla kwabo baneekhompyuter ezindala okanye nakwabo bafuna ukwaba izixhobo zabo kweminye imisebenzi efana neseva, ukuphuculwa kwesicelo okanye uyilo lwegraphic. Kule meko siza kukuxelela iidesktops ezikhanyayo esinokuzifumana kwindawo yokugcina abantu Ubuntu ezidla ngaphantsi kwe-2 Gb yenkunzi yegusha, isixa abaninzi abasenayo kwiikhompyuter zabo.
Xfce
Eyona desktop ilula kwaye isebenzayo ilula ngaphandle kwe-Xfce. Le desktop ikhoyo kwiXubuntu yenye yezona ndlela zibalaseleyo kwiidesktops ezilula, hayi kuphela ukusetyenziswa kwayo okuphantsi kwezixhobo kodwa kunye nozinzo kunye nemisebenzi yayo. Into engenazo ezinye iidesktops kwaye eyenza iXubuntu kunye neXfce zibe nabalandeli abaninzi kuhlobo ngalunye. Ukufakwa kwale desktop kunokwenziwa ngokufakwa kwephakheji ye-xfce, kodwa kungcono ukuyenza nge-xubuntu-desktop metapackage.
Lxde
Le desika ineyona njongo iphambili kukubonelela ngedesika engasindi ikwanabalandeli bayo kwaye lukhetho olufanelekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, ngokungafaniyo nabanye, i-LXDE yidesktop ye-buggy kwaye ayisebenzi njengeXfce. Kwiinyanga ezidlule kwabhengezwa ukuba i-LXDE izakuya kwi-LXQT kodwa ayenzekanga okwangoku ngenxa yemicimbi yokuhambelana, iilayibrari kunye neencukuthu ezivela. Singayifaka i-LXDE ku-Ubuntu ngeendlela ezimbini, ngokusebenzisa iphakheji ye-LXDE okanye ngokusebenzisa i-lubuntu-desktop metapackage.
UMATE
Ifolokhwe ezalwe kwi-Gnome 2 endala ibonisa ukuba lukhetho olupheleleyo kunye nolulula kubasebenzisi abaninzi. UMATE uzama ukuhlangula imbonakalo kunye nokusebenza kweGnome endala, eyenza ukuba i-desktop iphantse ifane neGnome kodwa isebenzise izixhobo ezisezantsi. Inguqulelo enye okanye ezimbini zihlala zikhutshwa rhoqo ngonyaka, zisenza uMATE abe yidesktop enomdla. Singayifaka ku-Ubuntu ngokusebenzisa iphakheji ye-MATE.
Cinnamon
Idesktop yeLinux Mint ikwajonga ukuba yinto elula kwaye epheleleyo. Inokuba yeyona ndlela ilungileyo kuzo zonke, kodwa ngokobuqu, xa ndiyifakile iCinnamon ku-Ubuntu, bekusoloko kukho iingxaki. Amava am ayisiyiyo yodwa kwaye yiyo loo nto isenokungabi yidesktop edumileyo phakathi kwabasebenzisi be-Ubuntu, nangona ithandwa phakathi kwabasebenzisi beLinux Mint. Kule nqaku Sikuxelela indlela yokufaka iCinnamon kwi-Ubuntu.
Isiphelo
Ukongeza kwezi tafile kukho iindlela ezilula ezifana nabaphathi befestile. Ezi azizizo iidesika ezizeleyo, kodwa ukuba sinenqanaba eliphezulu, kunokuba lolona khetho luhambelana neemfuno zethu. Ngaphakathi kolu luhlu kukho izinto ezinje ngeJWM, IceWM, I3 okanye iFluxbox, phakathi kwabanye. Ngoku, ukhetho lukuwe, ungalibali.
