    Plasma 5.16.90 (Plasma 5.17 Beta) Available for Testing

    The Kubuntu developers announce the Beta release of Plasma 5.16.90 in the Beta PPA for Kubuntu 19.04 and 19.10. Testers are wanted to ensure the quality and links are given for procedures and feedback. One caveat is to revert the PPA if you upgrade Disco to Eoan when it is released.

    Meet the 9 Winners in the Ubuntu 19.10 Wallpaper Competition

    Joey Sneddon tells us the nine winners of the Ubuntu 19.10 Wallpaper Competition have been selected and can be seen. Noting there is less diversity as he sees it in the winners compared to prior years, it includes the first Ubuntu branded wallpaper for years. With smaller images on display, a 5MB link is available to download them all. Joey does express disappointment that some great images didn't make it.

    Re: Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Issue 598

    i enjoyed reading, in this edition, about Ubuntu on LinuxONE and the Z15, the latest z-series from IBM. ages ago i was a programmer on the mainframes they made back then (mostly in assembler).

    i'm curious to know if this version of Ubuntu can be run on the Hercules emulator. according to its description it does target z/Architecture. i suppose i should try to download it and see. then i wouldn't need to wait until IBM makes some cloud capacity on it available.

    Code:
