Ubuntu Artful Aadvark needs its Community

Ubuntu 17.10

The next Ubuntu release will be the great Ubuntu release in many years. A version with many changes, many new features and with many objectives to meet. Do not forget that Ubuntu 17.10 or Ubuntu Artful Aadvark will change the default desktop, change the graphical server, change the kernel, change the session manager, improve the management of snap packages, etc ... A list of changes that Ubuntu development has not had in many years and that has its cost.

The first Alpha version of Ubuntu Artful Aadvark has already been on the streets for several days and the number of bug reports is still very small. So small that the developers are alarmed because it means that it is not being tested and therefore many bugs will appear in the final version. That is why the developer Alan Pope has sounded the alarm and he has asked the Community to test, test and collaborate with the developers to surface those bugs and correct them for the final version of Ubuntu Artful Aadvark.

So many encourage us to download the Ubuntu 17.10 alpha image, our let's connect to Launchpad and report any bug we find (even with a virtual machine). Also, to facilitate this development, Alan Pope has requested that all these bugs be labeled «julyshakedown«, For a better and optimized management of bug fixes.

Ubuntu 17.10 will be released on October 19, but the most important thing is that the next version, Ubuntu 18.04 will be an LTS version, that is, a version that has to be as stable and secure as possible. This includes Gnome, Wayland, GDM, and the snap packages.

Personally I think the change to Gnome has been very premature and more considering that the next version is an LTS version. But the Ubuntu Community is big, very big and that makes these goals possible.

    Ubuntu without Unity makes no sense, it doesn't matter Fedora Debian and a zillion other distros out there, I'm not wasting time
