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.

Sure. Last time I logged back into Windows just to change the partitions without buggering up the whole disk. The Windows partition is reporting as being "locked" (wtf), so right now I am seriously considering just wiping the whole disk and starting again. One partition for Linux daily use, one for Linux 32 games, another for Linux 64 games ((fixing .so issues drove me nuts)), and a blank partition for Windows 7 if ever needed maybe dedicate 70GB for it.
