Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[Antony Kipkemoi Kipingor]

Hello All,

Happy new year, its that time again when ubuntu releases another LTS. If
you have been up to date with whats going on with ubuntu, you will know
that they dropped the UNITY Desktop and are back to gnome. From personal
experience, its fasted and wit gnome extensions, you can add some fun tools
to the desktop.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is Called ‘Bionic Beaver’. The stable release candidate is
scheduled for – April 19th 2018 with the official release date April 26th
2018.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will be the next gold-standard Ubuntu release when it
arrives in April 2018 — and it seems it could have a shiny new theme to
boot.

Ubuntu developers are hoping to run an Ubuntu theme contest (or more
accurately let the community run one with some oversight and guidance).

The aim is to give Ubuntu a modern look, one it can confidently wear into
the next decade.

Hopefully I can get more details on it for those interested.

Ubuntu also wants to know which apps YOU think it should include by default
in its next LTS release, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

“With the switch from Unity to GNOME, we’re also reviewing some of the
desktop applications we package and ship in Ubuntu. We’re looking to
crowd-source input on your favourite Linux applications across a broad set
of classic desktop functionality,”* says Canonical’s Dustin Kirkland.*

And chances are most of you reading this will have an opinion or two to
give!

Which apps should Ubuntu include by default?

Are you keen for Chromium to become the stock web browser? Interested in
having an IDE or IRC client included by default? Of the opinion that a
different office suite ought to be offered?
