Desde el pasado 19 de octubre se encuentra disponible una nueva versión de Ubuntu.
La misma tiene como característica principal que cuenta con el entorno gráfico GNOME por omisión, y ya no mas el clásico Unity, fuente de innumerables problemas para los usuarios con PC de una cierta antiguedad.
Con Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark se inicia una nueva etapa, y no solo por contar de nuevo con GNOME, también se cambia el servidor gráfico y clásico Xorg a Wayland, aunque el primero se podrá seguir utilizando de ser necesario.
Por otro lado tenemos GDM3, que será quien se encargara de gestionar el inicio de sesión y pantalla de bloqueo.
Poco ha cambiado luego de estos tres puntos, y ademas no hay gran cambio de quien estuvo utilizando las versiones betas.
Con lo cual tan solo resta probarlo.
Leer también: Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark no estará disponible en la tradicional versión de 32 bits.
Nuestro consejo es que realicen la instalación de “0” y no actualicen, ya que hubo muchos cambios en las versiones anteriores.
Por otro lado no siempre las actualizaciones conducen a un final feliz.
A continuación todos los links para las descargas no sólo de Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aadvark sino tambiún de todas sus derivadas oficiales via Distrowatch.
Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"
Adam Conrad has announced the availability of a new version of the popular
Ubuntu distribution. Ubuntu 17.10, which carries the code name "Artful Aardvark" switches the default desktop from Unity to GNOME. "Code-named 'Artful Aardvark', Ubuntu 17.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technology into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. As always, the team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs. Under the hood, there have been updates to many core packages, including a new 4.13-based kernel, glibc 2.26, gcc 7.2, and much more. Ubuntu Desktop has had a major overhaul, with the switch from Unity as our default desktop to GNOME3 and GNOME Shell. Along with that, there are the usual incremental improvements, with newer versions of GTK and Qt, and updates to major packages like Firefox and LibreOffice." Additional information can be found in the
release announcement and in the
release notes.

Ubuntu Mate 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"
Martin Wimpress has announced the release of
Ubuntu MATE 17.10. The new version features a number of desktop changes, including a global menu bar placed at the top of the screen. The 17.10 release also features an improved Heads-Up Display (HUD) which makes it possible to search through application menus using only the keyboard. "This is something we started during Ubuntu MATE 16.10 and never perfected, but is now ready for prime time. A favourite of Unity 7 users is the Heads-Up Display (HUD) which provides a way to search for and run menu-bar commands without your fingers ever leaving the keyboard. So if you're trying to find that single filter in GIMP but can't remember which filter category it fits into or if you can't recall if preferences sits under File, Edit or Tools on your favourite browser, you can just search for it rather than hunting through the menus. Just like Global Menus the HUD is currently only available via the Contemporary, Cupertino and Mutiny [layouts]." Further information on this release, along with screen shots, can be found in the project's
release announcement.

Xubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark"
The
Xubuntu team has announced the release of Xubuntu 17.10. The new version includes significant improvements to accelerated video playback on Intel video cards. The distribution also includes support for driverless printing and includes the GNOME Font Viewer by default. "The GNOME Font Viewer is now included by default. This application simplifies viewing and installing fonts. Client side decorations (CSD) now consume much less space with the Greybird GTK+ theme. New device, mimetype, and monochrome panel icons have been included with the elementary-xfce icon theme. We usually link directly to the Ubuntu release notes, but there are several significant improvements that affect all flavours and our users: Accelerated video playback with Intel hardware should now work more reliably out of the box. The changes might also bring some performance improvements for Parole and Chromium users. Bluetooth and USB audio devices should now work better by default due to changes in BlueZ and PulseAudio. Driverless printing has been added to Ubuntu. This provides support for most modern printers: IPP Everywhere, Apple AirPrint, Mopria, PCLm, and Wifi Direct as supported. Other printers can still be added from the Printers dialog." Further information can be found in the project's
