Ubuntu 10.04 is released as scheduled. Where will Canonical take Ubuntu?

Ubuntu10.04 is in the official version. Despite some problems that have occurred before the release, Ubuntu developers will be released on schedule after re-packaging. Two-year-old LTS version 10.04 has attracted the attention of all parties, and the evaluation by all parties is also overwhelming. It is undeniable that Ubuntu is a Ubuntu user in the Liunx desktop release version, I am also paying attention to tu10.04 and talk about some of my feelings after I tried Ubuntu 10.04: the startup screen has been improved in quality and is really eye-catching with new default themes, absorbing a lot of Mac

The official version of Ubuntu 10.04 is now available. Despite some problems that have occurred before the release, the Ubuntu developer will be released on schedule after being re-packaged. Two-year-old LTS version 10.04 has attracted the attention of all parties, and the evaluation by all parties is also overwhelming. It is undeniable that Ubuntu is a Ubuntu user in the Liunx desktop release version, I also pay attention to every step of Ubuntu 10.04 and talk about some of my experiences after I tried Ubuntu 10.04:

The startup screen has been improved.
The new default theme has absorbed a lot of Mac elements. The general feeling is that there are still some gaps with commercial versions such as Windows and Mac, but it should be second to none in the Linux Desktop world.
Faster startup speed, I don't have a luxury SSD hard drive, but it's just a bit faster
Integrating social networking websites, alas, it's a pity that tianchao does not play a major role
By default, GIMP is no longer included and PiTiVi is added. I do not know whether it is to fill the remaining space. Does www.linuxidc.com still think that the user needs more video processing than Image Processing?
Changed the default window layout. I will discuss it in more detail below.
Other issues. I can't finish it for a moment.

Some recent new operations and reports on Ubuntu have made me confused about the future of Ubuntu. I will share some reports with you to share my views:

1. Ubuntu 10.04 officially uses the OS X Window button Layout

The window button layout adopted by Ubuntu 10.04 Beta is not uncommon. The official attitude is that after a large amount of information is collected, this layout provides a better user experience, A good idea is that he has conducted a voting survey on the Forum (forgot the original address). He is used to having 3/4 of people in the original Windows layout, and developers may not be able to withstand the user pressure, the OSX window layout is officially adopted. This also involves the remark of Mark Shuttleworth, the initiator of Ubuntu: Open Source is not a democratic system. It also shows that the development of Ubunu is not really community-dominated, but democracy is not always a good thing, it often hinders the pace of change.

2. Ubuntu 10.10 uses full decimal

I forgot when the Mac OS was determined to adopt decimal. Ubuntu seems to be following up. I don't need to explain why the GB hard disk is "shrunk" in the system. This time the decimal system defeated the binary system, is this really necessary? I think Ubuntu should change "Ubuntu is an open-source alternative to Windows and Office" to "Ubuntu is an open-source alternative to Mac and Office" on the homepage ", I feel that Ubuntu is getting closer to Mac!

3. Say goodbye to the "Notification area" for Ubuntu big changes

The original article seems to be demonstrating that Windows has actually abandoned the original notification area, so there is no need to retain it in Linux, and the notification area also makes the system not coordinate, so it should be too powerful message menus.

The pace of Ubuntu is getting bigger and bigger. I feel like a very nostalgic person, and I don't want to change something I am used to. Maybe trying to improve will bring me more effective habits. Early Ubuntu, focusing on improving the ease of use of Linux, has begun to challenge user habits (some user habits are indeed not good). It is good or bad and is hard to determine for the time being, we hope that Canonical can maintain the openness and freedom of Ubuntu, promote Linux desktops, and make free software more popular. We would like to pay tribute to the volunteers behind the free software!
