According to foreign media reports, Gerry Carr, the product manager of Canonical, recently briefed reporters on the current situation and future plans of Ubuntu. for example, the latest version of the system is 804 LTS (Long Term Service ), it is planned to be released in April 24, and will be the first to integrate Firefox 3.
Ubuntu has a total of 105 developers distributed in 25 countries. a new version is released every 18 months, and 804 has a three-year life cycle in the desktop field, the server is five years old.
Gerry Carr ruled out the idea when asked if the system would consider game software:
"Honestly, no. We don't want to be a gaming platform, and the game-related overhead is too high. of course you will see more Linux games, but unless Linux is everywhere in the world, there will be no heavyweight works; in particular, the game machine is currently in a strong position. buy an Xbox and connect it to TV."
But Gerry Carr is very interested in the mobile platform, and a dedicated team is responsible for porting Ubuntu to portable mobile devices such as mobile phones. it is expected to be known during the year.
