Yuan Meng: "Dummies" Ubuntu is coming to us

This article uses the popular saying "dumb camera" to create the word "dumb Ubuntu", which means automatic or semi-automatic Ubuntu. In this case, the actual level of Ubuntu is not low! Is this true? As you know, the actual users of dummies Ubuntu may not be really dummies. Recently, the Beta3 version of Ubuntu9.10 has just been released. From the perspective of it, the beautiful faces are indeed extraordinary. However, being beautiful and talented is useless. So where is the talent of the new version? Why is it a dummies Ubuntu?

As you know, the actual users of dummies Ubuntu may not be really dummies. Recently, the Beta 3 version of Ubuntu 9.10 has just been released. From this perspective, the face is really pretty. However, being beautiful and talented is useless. So where is the talent of the new version? Why is it a dummies Ubuntu?

In fact, if you look at the problem from the perspective of a Windows user, installing or updating the software can be an inherent weakness of all Linux distributions, and Ubuntu is no exception. For example, Debian and Ubuntu Synaptic; although yum of Fedora and YaST of OpenSUSE are both good software installation (or removal) tools, many users still encounter difficulties in actual use. In the face of this situation, the Ubuntu international community decided to restart a very old AppCenter project, so that "Dummies" can smoothly install (Add) or Remove (Remove) new software applications. Based on the new GNOME version, AppCenter integrates the Add/Remove, Synaptic, and Update managers to provide a unified user interface, greatly improving the reliability of use, further improve the applicability and robustness of Ubuntu and make it a real dumb Ubuntu. This will be implemented in Ubuntu 9.10.

Check the Ubuntu development schedule. We can see that the AppCenter project is in full swing. In fact, this is not a "small project ". We can expect that Ubuntu 9.10 will be updated. The notification function of Ubuntu 9.10 will be fully updated, and the derivative version of Mint (big disciple of Ubintu) will also be closely followed. No problem, the AppCenter project will comprehensively improve the robustness of the Linux family. Here, it is worth noting that the CNR (Click and Run) technology used in the current Ubuntu version is incomplete and will not be used in the new Ubuntu version.

Note: yesterday afternoon, I met with the author of Ubuntu practical skills. He told me that Microsoft's Linux code was rejected. It can be seen that this paradox is widely spread. In July 22, Linus Torvarlds told "Linux Magazine" that (in terms of Microsoft's Linux code) it is simply a disease to be hostile to Microsoft (hatred ). He believes that there are some extremists in the Free Software world and they cannot face real changes. He said, in fact, to some extent, I would very much be willing to accept the code because it comes from a new member (new member) in this community ). In July 24, "LinuxToday" published the Editor's Note entitled "Microsoft is now our friend", sending a signal that the current situation has changed and we must keep up with it. The day before yesterday, I wrote the short article "is the Microsoft Linux code returned ?" For details about the facts, refer. Today's world is amazing, and human faces will change. Every day, we must learn new things. Otherwise, we will fall behind when we don't have any worries. Ubuntu leads the way in desktop innovation. At this moment, the indicator lights of my Ubuntu 9.04 self-boot USB flash constantly. Ah, for more than three months, it has always been with me faithfully, never failing, and has become my pet baby. Some people say that Ubuntu is not stable enough. In my opinion, this is a bad word!
