Ubuntu Lomiri is a desktop environment originally designed for mobile devices (like Ubuntu Touch) that is now also available for desktop computers. It’s a “convergent” operating environment, meaning it can adapt to different screen sizes and input methods (touch, keyboard, mouse). Lomiri was previously known as Unity8.
Note, Lomiri is not ready for production machines. It’s not completely functional on desktops and laptops.
Features include:
- Convergent – the same codebase and interoperability on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.
- Lightweight – brings new life to devices thought to have no more life left.
- Next-gen – built for Mir and Wayland compositors for speed and security.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
