With the release of Juno I decided to give it a try and pretty much liked it on laptop. In fact I liked it so much that I decided to install it on desktop as well.
On my main rig I run Ubuntu proper (18.04 + KDE installed manually). Since I have everything set up, and am lazy to reinstall machine unnecessarily, I’ve decided to just convert that install to ElementaryOS so here are the steps I did to achieve that:
- Add repositories:
- ElementaryOS stable repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
- OS Patches:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
- Appcenter repositories:
cat <<EOF >> appcenter.list deb https://packages.elementary.io/appcenter bionic main EOF
- ElementaryOS stable repositories:
- Update repository cache:
apt update
- Upgrade packages:
apt upgrade
- Install elementary desktop:
apt install elementary-desktop
Once that’s done you can reboot the machine.
Bonus point is to change your login manager as well. If you wish to switch to LightDM you can use:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
And select lightdm
in the list
