First Thoughts about iBuntu 2.0

Posted on July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 by ibuntu85

As a fun fact I was writing this article just minutes before jimdo kicked the website from their plattform. Since I had no backups for it I now try to recapitulate my thoughts I had two days ago – wish me luck 😀

Right now I am already in the brainstorming phase for the next version of iBuntu. It’s already clear that with the 2.0 Version I will move to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as new main version. But I will still support “Catalinux” at least until the EOL of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Recently, Apple announced their new macOS Version “Big Sur” at WWDC2020:

macOS ‘Big Sur’ Arrives With Major Design Changes, A New Control Center

Also I saw that the legendary b00merang-Team already said they are working on a gnome-Theme based on the new macOS 11.0 “Big Sur” Design:

Apple macOS ‘Big Sur’ Theme Is Getting Ready For Linux Desktops

(Again, these sites and the b00merang Project are terrific examples on why nothing we do here is illegal or worth striking us down – or these sites and projects would need to go down with us too which won’t be the case – because they don’t do anything Apple would really bother)

My real question was now, should we just wait until B00merang delivers – or should we maybe have a closer look at Deppin since the new Deepin-Desktop already looks almost like macOS Big Sur – so much that I try to think that this time Apple copied the “Look & Feel” of Deepin for their own OS.

Deepin 20 Beta Is Here: Most Beautiful Linux Desktop Gets Better Than Before

Compare yourself:

So once again as a running gag: Could the creators of Deepin now sue Apple for copying their Look%Feel? No? Well than why should anyone claim we would do something illegal here? 😉

For now this is just playing around and I am far away from setting up a Beta Version of iBuntu 2.0 – But at least I already have a name for it:

iBuntu 2.0 Lix Nur

I will keep you informed about how my tests with Deepin goes and will tell you my final decision weather I will switch to Deepin or stay with Gnome and the Design-Themes of the b00merang Team.
