Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark comes today without Unity

Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark is expected to be released today, October 19, with changes that may upset some friends of the distribution. Canonical's new operating system leaves the familiar environment Unity for GNOME 3.

Gnome 3.26.1 will be the Artful Aardvark desktop, and will run through the Wayland display server.Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark

But those who want to use the X11 display server, instead of Wayland there will be the “Ubuntu on Xorg” through the screen ς GDM (GNOME Display ). Among the options will be the vanilla GNOME 3.26 session without the modifications made by Canonical, but also the old Unity desktop.

So then in a while you will be able to download the operating system Ubuntu 17.10, but only for 64 bit computers, as Canonical decided to stop supporting 32 bit installations, although existing installations will still be supported with upgrades until the end of their life.

Ubuntu 17.10 is powered by the Linux 4.13.4 kernel, which could soon be upgraded to a newer version once the operating system is released.

Of course, if you use older versions like Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), you can upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 once it is officially released.
