After yesterday's release of Ubuntu 17.04 Final Beta, I decided to try the new (second beta) Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 that was released with the new GNOME 3.24 interface.
The final release of Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 to be released on 13 April will be released with the GNOME 3.24 desktop environment. Although I am not a friend of Ubundoids I decided to try the new beta, as GNOME 3.24 brings many attractive features. Among them is Night Light.
That particular feature could not be missed by Ubuntu. Windows 10 Creators Update, Apple iOS and Google Android have the specific feature that can automatically reduce the amount of blue light emitted by laptop screens, computer screens, and phone screens at night .
In GNOME 3.24, developers decided to add a blue light filter and named Night Light.
We found that there is an updated application for the Calendar, but also the completely new application for recipes, GNOME Recipes for those who have cooking concerns…
However, some of the applications that the new Gnome brings come in older versions, due to some bugs that were not resolved at the time of release. So we have the file manager Nautilus 3.20.4, the software διαχείρισης πακέτων GNOME 3.22 με υποστήριξη Flatpak 0.8, το GNOME Terminal 3,22, το Evolution 3.22 και το File Roller 3.22.
We expect that until the official release, all the above applications will be in the 3.24 version.
Among the notable changes that Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 final Beta brings, we can also mention the chrome-gnome-shell system assistant which is installed by default. The Tracker search indexing engine is now sandboxed. Gnome-icon-theme and gconf are not installed by default and there is a Wayland experimental session.
“An experimental Wayland session is included, but it does not come as a default. If your computer supports the graphics drivers open code and want to try Wayland, log out, and select GNOME in Wayland from the tools menu under thetreatment password and log in again.”
Το Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 final Beta έρχεται με το Linux kernel 4.10, το Mesa 17.0.1 3D Graphics Library, systemd-resolved σαν προεπιλεγμένο DNS resolver. Το νέο λειτουργικό χρησιμοποιεί swap files αντί swap partitions, και έρχεται με εγκατεστημένο το LibreOffice 5.3 office suites.
