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.

Stepping away from Unity is good as Unity made myself and many others step away from Ubuntu. Also good to see Wayland coming into use. But Artful IS the first, so bugs will be found. I think a massive priority will be given them as 18.04 is an LTS release. I tend to stick with those releases for stability and just plain less admin work.

I'm honestly glad these changes came now instead of the LTS. It lets the bugs get sorted out and prevents the long term support of bad implantation choices.
