On March 26, 2020, after the deliberation and approval of the openEuler Community Technical Committee, the UKUI desktop environment special interest group (UKUI SIG) was officially established, which is the first desktop environment accepted by the openEuler Community and developed by the Chinese team. Following Gnome and Mate, UKUI became the third optional desktop environment for openEuler. After Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux and other international Linux distributions, openEuler is another open-source operating system that takes UKUI as an optional desktop environment. UKUI is being accepted and recognized by more and more mainstream Linux distributions.

UKUI Desktop Environment

UKUI is developed based on GTK and QT, which has been widely concerned at home and abroad. Recently, open-source media such as OMGUbuntu reported and gave a very high evaluation to UKUI 3.0 preview Edition: UKUI gives users a bright feeling in front of their eyes, whether from design or interaction, and it is a phenomenal Linux desktop environment.

Now UKUI has been used by default in the Ubuntu Kylin open source operating system and the Galaxy Kylin commercial distribution under Kylin Software. Users can download and experience UKUI directly on the official website of Ubuntu Kylin , or open-source image stations such as 360, Huawei, AliCloud, Chongqing University, etc. The UKUI 3.0 preview will also be integrated for the first time in the April release of Ubuntu Kylin 20.04LTS. Please wait and see!
