The first beta of the upcoming 17.04 Zesty Zapus version of Ubuntu is now available for testing. As usual, official Ubuntu and Ubuntu MATE flavors have not yet been released, but the following ISOs are currently available for testing:
Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Kylin (does not concern you because it is Chinese Ubuntu), Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu.
Kubuntu was the first to officially publish the release, saying:
"Today the Kubuntu team is pleased to announce that Kubuntu Zesty Zapus (17.04) beta 1 has just been released. With this beta 1, you can see and try out what we're preparing for 17.04, which will be released in April
Note: As the first beta of Kubuntu and Ubuntu in general it is not recommended for novice users or environments work. Anyone who needs a stable system better wait a little longer.
