Start in 14.8 seconds?

The latest Ubuntu releases, including Ubuntu9.10, have greatly improved the startup speed. The Ubuntu project team did not refresh the startup speed record, but said the new version of Ubuntu increased the startup speed and improved and optimized the startup experience. It is reported that the Ubuntu version has the same startup function.

In February January this year, ChannelWeb's EdwardMoltzen test was available for Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 desktop. The results showed that the startup time was 15 seconds. According to a recent test by EdwardMoltzen, the startup time of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta is 14.8 seconds. In addition, after EdwardMoltzen is installed, the startup time of Ubuntu 10.04 is only 9 seconds.

New Theme and social networking features

Two brand-new themes are added to the Ubuntu 10.04 user interface, including the new notification area and wallpaper.

The new Ubuntu 10.04 user interface is more like a Mac system, and the maximum program, minimum and close options are all in the upper left corner of the window.

However, Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Development Community Manager, believes that the layout of the Windows Control Button in Ubuntu 10.04 is not reasonable. Not only does it not follow the Fitts law, but the window is closed if you need to click the edit option.

Ubuntu 10.04 now integrates Twitter, identi. ca, Facebook, and other social websites. The new feature is based on Gwibber applications that support multi-column browsing.

Improved nVidia support

Ubuntu10.4 is upgraded to Linux2.6.32.9 and provides GCC4.4.3, eglibc2.11, and Python2.6.5. Currently, the open-source driver of Nouveau supports nVidia graphics cards by default.
