Joseph Salisbury of Canonical informed his community Ubuntu Linux for the latest development news of the upcoming Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus operating system.
The next Ubuntu 17.04 will come with some exciting features as the Ubuntu Kernel development team in this week's newsletter reports the arrival of Linux Kernel 4.9 packages in Zesty Zapus repositories.
“We have uploaded a Zesty kernel of the latest version v4.9 to address:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/4.9.0-11.12,” developers report.
"Please check and inform us about the results. We look forward to finally converging on Kernel v4.10 for Zesty. ”
Το γεγονός αυτό έρχεται σαν μια καταπληκτική είδηση για τους hardcore gamers του Linux. Το Linux kernel 4.9 είναι γνωστό για την επίτευξη στήριξης στις παλαιότερες κάρτες γραφικών AMD Radeon από την οικογένεια Southern Islands/GNC 1.0, but only if the kernel option is enabled. Additionally, it comes with the latest Mesa 13.0.2 3D Graphics Library.
X.Org Server & Hosting 1.18.4 display server will also be available in Ubuntu 17.04, along with the open-source graphics drivers AMDGPU (xf86-video-amdgpu 1.2.0) and ATI/Radeon (xf86-video-ati/xf86-video-radeon 7.8.0. 1.19.0). With the arrival of X.Org Server XNUMX you will finally be able to enjoy better AMD Radeon graphics on Ubuntu.
The good news continues as the Ubuntu Kernel team claims to wish to focus all its efforts on monitoring the upcoming Linux Kernel 4.10 (not far off) for Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus.
Let's say that in about a week we will release the first Alpha development release of Linux Kernel 4.10.
