We tried Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Final Beta

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.

To συγκεκριμένο χαρακτηριστικό δεν θα μπορούσε να λείπει από το Ubuntu. Το Windows 10 Creators Update, το iOS της Apple και το Android της Google διαθέτουν την συγκεκριμένη λειτουργία που μπορεί να μειώσει αυτόματα την ποσότητα του 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.Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Final Beta

Διαπιστώσαμε ότι  υπάρχει μια ενημερωμένη εφαρμογή για το Ημερολόγιο, αλλά και η εντελώς νέα εφαρμογή για συνταγές, η  GNOME Recipes για αυτούς που έχουν μαγειρικές ανησυχίες...

However, some of the applications that bring the new Gnome come in older versions due to some bugs that have not been resolved at the time of release. So we have the Nautilus 3.20.4 file manager, GNOME 3.22 package management software with Flatpak 0.8 support, GNOME Terminal 3,22, Evolution 3.22 and 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 that is pre-installed. Tracker search indexing engine is now sandboxed. gnome-icon-theme and gconf are not installed by default and there is an experimental Wayland session.

"Συμπεριλαμβάνεται μια πειραματική συνεδρία Wayland, αλλά δεν έρχεται σαν προεπιλογή. Εάν ο σας υποστηρίζει τα προγράμματα οδήγησης γραφικών ανοικτού κώδικα και θέλετε να δοκιμάσετε το Wayland, αποσυνδεθείτε, και επιλέξτε το GNOME στο Wayland από το μενού εργαλείων κάτω από την εισαγωγή του κωδικού πρόσβασης και συνδεθείτε ξανά."

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 final Beta comes with Linux kernel 4.10, Mesa 17.0.1 3D Graphics Library, -resolved as default DNS resolver. The new operating system uses swap files instead of swap partitions, and comes with the LibreOffice 5.3 office suite installed.
