Unity 8 will still not be Yakkety Yak's default desktop

Shortly after the new Ubuntu 16.04 version was presented in public, Mark Shuttleworth presented the new name of Ubuntu 16.10, the next version of Ubuntu and although the name was not said anything about the characteristics of the new version. Apparently today after a Community hangout, Several developers have talked about Yakkety Yak and what it will and will not include.

Yakkety Yak or Ubuntu 16.10 is a non-LTS version so many of us think or think that many not very stable functions would be in this version of Ubuntu. In the end it has not been like that and we have known that Unity 8 will not be the default desktop for the distribution.

Fans and those who have tried the new version of the Ubuntu desktop will have to wait a little longer to have the desktop and its novelties as the default desktop. Even so Unity 8 is an alternative for those who want to try something new without having to wait for future versions. Now it seems that this solution will take longer than expected.

Unity 8 will not be the default desktop but systemd will be the default

We have also known other news that may be interesting such as the elimination of Python2. This does not mean that Python is removed from Ubuntu but that old python 2 dependencies are removed and they are brought to the latest version of Python. PackageKit 1.0 will also come to Yakkety Yak, an interesting novelty without a doubt, but the most striking thing will be that Yakkety Yak will have finally systemd and not upstart. Something interesting that has brought a lot of controversy and that of course will make Ubuntu 16.10 also have controversy for it and not only for not bringing Unity 8.

I personally believe that Ubuntu 16.10 will be a great version of Ubuntu, It will not bring Unity 8 with it but it will reach other interesting milestones for many such as the start of the system or the famous convergence that will be more refined than it is currently, something very interesting for many Do not you think?
