Effective immediately, the new release of Ubuntu, 17.10, aka 'Artful Aardvark' has been released!

This release will be supported for 9 months (until 2018) for Long Term Support, stick with release 16.04, instead.

Official flavors (e.g. Kubuntu) are also released.

See the above release notes for a full list of changes and where you can get a copy.

[Full disclosure: the majority of SoylentNews' servers run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS though we have taken steps towards moving to Gentoo.]

Also:

The customized version of GNOME that Ubuntu 17.10 uses is very much in the mould of the (now defunct) Unity desktop, so it won't be to everyone's tastes.

    The Windows10 of Linux distros

    Nothing ever anywhere is comparable to Windows 10. Even a badly broken Ubuntu is paradise. An early 80's TRS-100 running CP/M is better than Windows 10. A ZX-80 hooked to a TV is an improvement over Windows 10. The only thing that could be a bigger abomination than Windows 10 is whatever the hell Microsoft fart up after it.

    No. A TRS-80 better than Windows 10? Yea, it actually does something useful and doesn't betray you. A ZX-10? I played with one of those once. Oh Hell no.
