Since I started using launchers of this type, I miss them if my operating system does not include them by default. Now, in Kubuntu, I am served, since it does not have one, but two (Kickoff and Krunner), but when I use Ubuntu I miss something that serves me for something more than looking for applications. That is what a protagonist of this article does who has recently released the version Launcher 5.3.
We are talking about a launcher that was already very complete, so it was difficult to improve the software much. For this reason, although they have changed their numbering, Ulauncher 5.3 does not include very important news. What yes fixes are bugs from previous versions, such as one in the wrong window position in some graphical environments. Below you have the most outstanding news that are included in this version.
Highlights of Ulauncher 5.3
In total, Ulauncher 5.3 includes four notable changes:
- New version scheme to support stable and beta versions.
- The application now stores the .db files in ~ / .local / share / ulauncher.
- The application will use the correct window position in i3 and other graphical environments.
- Bug fixes, including a bug that caused results to skip when using the navigation arrows.
Interested users can install Ulauncher in different ways, such as downloading its DEB package from here, your RPM package from this link or the version for Arch Linux from this other. In Ubuntu 18.04 and later we can also use its repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:agornostal/ulauncher sudo apt update sudo apt install ulauncher
The launcher Ubuntu forgot
Personally, I recommend installing it on systems like Ubuntu. Just like we explained a few months ago, Ulauncher allows us to launch applications and add scripts with which we can, for example, search the internet without having to open the browser previously. Ulauncher is, perhaps, the launcher that Ubuntu forgot.
