The Alpha 2 build of the new Ubuntu 11.10, which should be released in about 3 months, has just been released by Canonical. New version of this popular Linux distribution will bring some changes, for example:
- No Ubuntu Classic (GNOME) fallback. Unity-2d/Qt by default – Unity-2d as default 2d experience.
- Plan how to integrate GNOME 3 and port GTK2/pygtk2 apps to it.
- LightDM default login/user switching by LightDM. Ubuntu themed greeter
- Deja Dup – Simple backup by default
- Gwibber UI port to speed up UI and more modern look and feel
- Thunderbird as default email client
- Software Center UI Focus areas for this cycle are a general visual “makeover” (new icons, etc.), enhanced integration with Unity, targeted performance improvements, better touch-friendliness, increased stability and usability improvements.
On a side note, lock screen reminds of an… iPad lock screen.
