The teams of the official Ubuntu flavors have recently released the first beta of the next Ubuntu version, this is Ubuntu 17.10. In this development version we can see what definitive news will have the official flavors after the final version.
The main version of Ubuntu will only have a beta version and in this case it will be at the end of September when we know it. In this version we will see the changes that have been sounding for a long time like the famous Ubuntu Dock, but the news of the official flavors may be more interesting.
Ubuntu MATE
The Ubuntu MATE 17.10 beta refines the new features that have been announced in the latest alpha releases. This means that the HUD is present and improved; Boutique Software is also present as well as the position of the panels. The latest version of MATE will also be present in this version and is being polished for the final version. The Ubuntu MATE 17.10 ISO image can be obtained from here.
Xubuntu
Ubuntu's light flavor has also released a version, but this version is characterized by having ... nothing. The new version of Xubuntu will have a new package update but nothing else. If something works great, Why break it?
Ubuntu Budgie
The young official flavor will be the flavor that changes the most. Budgie Desktop 10.4 will be the desktop version you use And that implies new libraries, new functions and changes with respect to previous versions of the desktop. In addition, new features are included in the file manager and in the kernel, graphic server, etc ... You can get the Ubuntu Budgie ISO image from this link.
Rest of flavors
The rest of the flavors have also released beta versions of the next version, however, Everything points to these versions doing the same as Xubuntu: updating packages and not adding great functions. A wise decision, since if something works Why spoil it?
I already installed it too hehehehe
