While Ubuntu normally ships with the latest GNOME desktop as of release time, April’s release of Ubuntu 21.04 will not be shipping with GNOME 40 but sticking to GNOME 3.38.
While GNOME 40 should be out in March like usual and normally the latest GNOME updates are pulled timely into the Ubuntu desktop, given all the changes with GNOME 40 and GTK 4.0, they will be holding off one cycle. Thus Ubuntu 21.04 will remain on GNOME 3.38 with GTK3 and then Ubuntu 21.10 in the autumn is when they will move to the latest GNOME stack.
This decision was made given the GNOME Shell design changes with GNOME 40, concerns over the stability of GTK 4.0 right now, and how well Ubuntu’s Yaru theme might be for GNOME 40 in time for 21.04.
Thus the announcement was made today they are staying this cycle with GTK3 and GNOME 3.38. For Ubuntu 21.10 they hope to have the dust settled around GTK4 and the latest GNOME updates to be comfortable upgrading their desktop to it.
Fedora Workstation 34 meanwhile in April is still planning for the latest GNOME as one of the first major Linux distributions expected to ship with GTK 4.0 and GNOME 40 by default.
:: ADDITIONAL INFO ::
Here’s why Ubuntu 21.04 won’t have GNOME 40 (and GTK 4)
In a forum post, Ubuntu developer Sebastien Bacher mentioned that the redesign of the GNOME shell might cause compatibility issues with the extensions. Ubuntu relies heavily on extensions for giving the GNOME desktop the Ubuntu look.
The vertical Ubuntu launcher on the left side might also not go very well with the horizontal approach in GNOME 40.
GTK 4 is an impressive release for application developers, but it might cause issue with the default Yaru theme. Transitioning Yaru to GTK 4 is a massive task and there might not be enough time for that before the Ubuntu 21.04 release.
Hopefully we manage to resolve enough of those questions in the remaining of the cycle to be in a better position to include the new versions when I -serie opens.
Sebastien Bacher, Ubuntu Developer
Better to be safe than sorry, right?
This is surely a disappointment for those looking forward to the new Ubuntu release. Sticking with GNOME 3.38 which is already in Ubuntu 20.10 means that there won’t be a lot of visual feature changes in Ubuntu 21.04.
In any case, Ubuntu 20.10 users don’t have much choice. They’ll have to upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 eventually because Ubuntu 20.10 will be discontinued in July 2021.
A disappointment it is, but still better to avoid a half-baked GNOME 40 causing trouble for Ubuntu 21.04 users.
What do you think of Ubuntu’s decision of staying with GNOME 3.38?
:: ONCE AGAIN ::
Sebastien Bacher from Ubuntu explains that:
“These are topics on which we are going to spend resources and ideally we would be helping to move things forward, but it is already in the middle of the cycle, we have not counted any of them and the team is already overloaded.”
