All of our past wallpapers can be browsed and downloaded from GitHub: https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-marketing/tree/master/wallpapers
If you're running an Ubuntu-based distribution, you can install our wallpaper packs from the `xubuntu-wallpapers-*` packages.
Thanks, everyone, for celebrating 20 years of Xubuntu with us! 🎉

The alternative wallpaper for Xubuntu 26.04 is based on the iconic mouse from the Trusty Tahr release, 14.04.

Only 2 days remain before submissions close!
Only 15 wallpapers have been submitted by the community. Do you have any images you'd like to enter?
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/xubuntu-26-04-community-wallpaper-contest/77213
On the wallpaper remix side, the most votes any wallpaper has is 5. That's a very small number to decide a winner.

Xfce 4.20 did arrive with limited Wayland support. Unfortunately, Wayland support is very experimental and not meant for general usage: https://alexxcons.github.io/blogpost_14.html

We'll keep supporting X11, just not that... other... X.

Hello, Mastodon family! It's been a long time coming, but Xubuntu has officially left X behind!
https://x.com/Xubuntu/status/1886754277177123276
If you're still using X, consider sharing our update to spread awareness. We'll continue to bring you the best of #Xfce and #Linux... all in one place.
