An official flavor of Ubuntu, featuring the GNOME desktop environment. Do not assume that Ubuntu GNOME will do it for you automatically. Latest Stable Release. Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 is now available. Please see the release announcement for more information. Latest Long Term Support Release. Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.4 LTS is.

Short Bytes: The first beta for Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak has arrived. You can now download the ISO images for Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Ubuntu Kylin from Canonical servers. Ubuntu 16.10 Beta 1 ships with Linux kernel 4.4, LibreOffice 5.2, and GCC 6.2.0. The second and final beta is slated to arrive on September 22, followed by the Final Release on October 22.

The development process of Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak is going on and it has already reached the Beta stages of development, but currently only for opt-in flavors. The Ubuntu flavors taking part in the Beta 1 milestone include Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Ubuntu Kylin. Xubuntu has decided to skip the Beta 1 release.

You might be knowing that the regular version of Ubuntu, i.e. the most awaited one, only takes part in the second and final beta release, which is slated to arrive on September 22.

In these flavors, most of the software packages have been updated to their latest version. This list of software includes the latest stable GNOME 3.20 Stack, LibreOffice 5.2, and GCC 6.2.0 compiler. In our previous post, we’ve already told that Canonical aims to implement the ‘netplan’ project in the final release. For the startup session, Upstart will also be replaced by systemd.

As far as the kernel is concerned, Ubuntu 16.10 still uses Linux 4.4 LTS kernel. However, the final release of Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak will be powered by Linux kernel 4.8.
