- | The Kubuntu development team has continued its refinements with Kubuntu 21.04, introduced on 22 April, 2021. This is the middle release of this development cycle leading to Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, which is due out in April 2022. Kubuntu 21.04 marks the 33rd Kubuntu release and the 12th one with the KDE project’s Plasma 5 desktop which is based on the Qt toolkit, so this is a very mature software project. As a “standard” release, Kubuntu 21.04 is supported for just nine months, until January, 2022. One more standard release, Kubuntu 21.10, is expected on 14 October 2021, prior to the long term support (LTS) release in the spring of 2022. | + | **The Kubuntu development team has continued its refinements with Kubuntu 21.04, introduced on 22 April, 2021.

Instead it is run silently in the background during the boot process, according to Rik Mills, a Kubuntu and Ubuntu developer.

- | New | + | L’équipe de développement de Kubuntu continue ses raffinements avec Kubuntu 21.04, présentée le 22 avril 2021. Il s’agit de la publication du milieu de ce cycle de développement qui se terminera avec Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, dont la sortie est prévue en avril 2022. Kubuntu 21.04 marque la 33e publication de Kubuntu et la douzième avec le bureau Plasma 5 du projet KDE qui est basé sur la boîte à outils Qt ; aussi, celui-ci est un projet logiciel très mature. En tant que publication « standard », |

À la place, celle-ci est lancée de façon silencieuse en arrière-plan pendant le démarrage, d’après Rik Mills, un développeur de Kubuntu et d’Ubuntu. J’ai supposé que les fichiers sur la clé étaient bons, puisque je n’ai pas vu de notification d’erreur. | ||

Kubuntu 21.04 has a new default wallpaper. This one is called Milky Way by Rucker, and it is very dark in color. It looks like it is intended to compliment the dark themes that seem to be popular among desktop users these days. This release has a total of 29 wallpapers provided, including many from recent Kubuntu releases, so there are lots to choose from if this one is not to your taste. | Kubuntu 21.04 has a new default wallpaper.

- | There is only one application change in this release, other than just bumping the application version numbers to KDE Applications 20.12. The new Plasma System Monitor is added, while leaving the previous KsysGuard system monitor in place as well. I tried them both out and they seem surprisingly similar, so I suspect that KsysGuard will disappear from the default installation by the time the LTS release arrives. | + | Nouveautés |

+ | Le papier peint par défaut de Kubuntu 21.04 est nouveau. Celui-ci, par Rucker, s’appelle Milky Way (la Voie lactée) ; il est très sombre. J’ai l’impression qu’il viendra compléter les thèmes sombres que les utilisateurs de bureau aiment beaucoup ces jours-ci. Cette publication fournit un total de 29 papiers peints, y compris ceux de beaucoup des récentes publications de Kubuntu, ce qui fait qu’il y en a plein parmi choisir si celui-ci ne vous plaît pas. | ||

Le nouveau Plasma System Monitor est ajouté, tout en gardant la surveillance du système par KsysGuard. Je les ai essayés tous les deux et ils semblent étonnamment similaires. Aussi, je soupçonne que KsysGuard disparaîtra de l’installation par défaut lors de l’arrivée de la version LTS. | ||

Firefox continues as the default web browser. It is a really good browser but continues in Kubuntu 21.04 as the sole GTK toolkit application in a Qt operating system. At one time, there was hope that Falkon, the Qt-based browser that was brought into the KDE project four years ago in 2017, would mature into a viable Firefox replacement but, with no releases in over two years, it is looking like abandonware. | Firefox continues as the default web browser.

Kubuntu has always been known for its high degree of customization available. In fact, that is probably one of the main reasons that it has such a dedicated following among its user base – it can be made to look and work almost any way that you like. | Kubuntu has always been known for its high degree of customization available.
