Login with Ubuntu 16.10

On October 13, Canonical released Ubuntu 16.10 and all of its official flavors. Little time it took Enter, in fact they published the tweet that you have after the jump on the same day, announcing that from that moment they would start ship computers with Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu MATE 16.10 pre-installed, two of the most used versions of Canonical's desktop operating system, one for being the standard version and the other for using the graphical environment it used before its move to Unity.

However this will not be the only option. Actually buying a PC with the latest versions of Ubuntu and Ubuntu MATE will be optional, the other option being the versions released in April i.e Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS. The LTS versions or Long-Term Support They are officially supported for security patches and updates for 5 years, while the normal versions are only supported for 9 months.

Entroware offers the option to use Yakkety Yak by default

Personally, if I were to buy one of the Entroware computers, I think I would ask for one of the 16.10 versions to be installed. The reason is that I get tired very soon of always using the same system or I reinstall from 0 when I have played more than I should and everything does not work perfectly, so 9 months of support is much more than I need.

On the other hand, if you are users who want to enjoy the same operating system for a long time without reinstalling it or if you use the computer to work, without a doubt the best option is to buy a computer with the version Xenial Xerus that will offer support until 2021.

Entroware has also confirmed that the possibility that Ubuntu 16.10 or Ubuntu MATE 16.10 is installed by default is for all your computers, which includes laptops, desktops, and what we might label "mini." You have more information in your web page.

    On the one hand, they seem expensive to me. In fact, you can find Toshiba's that offer the same or more for less money.
    On the other hand, the keyboard is available only in English, so "no ñ, no party".

    Of course, the initiative to install Ubuntu (or another Linux) as standard seems great to me.
