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 UI should be boring. I want to be excited about the programs I run, not get distracted by UI gimmicks. The point of an UI is to support you in doing what you want to do, without taking attention away. The best UI is one that you don't really notice.

That's one reason I like i3.
Reason I don't like i3: my memory sucks for remembering some program names.
