Μεγάλη μέρα για τους φίλους του Ubuntu, καθώς η Canonical μόλις κυκλοφόρησε την τελική έκδοση του λειτουργικού συστήματος Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak για desktop, server, και cloud computing.
Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) has been in development for the past six months, but today October 13, 2016, it is now officially available for λήψη in the company's warehouses. The new operating system comes for everyone who wants to use the latest versions and technologies of software and GNU/Linux on their personal computers, or in the cloud.
The most exciting feature of the new Ubuntu 16.10 is the Linux kernel 4.8, which brings support for the latest hardware that is released, but also contains some updated components that are mostly based on the GNOME 3.20 Stack.
So some of the preinstalled apps are based on the latest GNOME 3.22 Stack, except for the admin files Nautilus (file manager), which remains at version 3.20.3. LibreOffice suite comes to version 5.2 and Mozilla Firefox to version 49.0.
Also, the new Ubuntu 16.10 comes with an experimental Unity 8 Session, which is installed by default and is accessible through the login manager. Canonical added Unity 8 mostly for testing purposes, although they know it won't work on all PCs.
Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak will be supported for nine months, by July of 2017, the end date of the distribution. From this date on, it will no longer receive software and security updates, which means you will need to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu, or use the stable version of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus.
Ubuntu hardliners can download the new Ubuntu 16.10 with Linux kernel 4.8 in Desktop, Server and Cloud versions by the end of the post.
