Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal is in full swing and will bring huge changes to Ubuntu's traditional desktop. The traditional UI is changed, and the eye-catching Unity interface is stepping up to replace the Gnome interface. More than that, many classic applications will also be replaced by newer and more functional applications. I have summarized the 11 highlights of Ubuntu 11.04 for your reference only.
1. Unity Desktop
Unity is the most significant change to Ubuntu Desktop so far. For some new users, this means a new desktop form. UI basic Ubuntu netbook interface, called UNE. However, unlike GNOME3 and UNE, Unity will use the Compiz window manager instead of Mutter at the bug layer. Of course, there are some new applications, such as the reminder program, which greatly facilitates users. Not surprisingly, Unity will attract great attention from desktop users.
2. Use Banshee as the default music player
For a long time, Rhythmbox is the default music player for Ubuntu Desktop. This program has many features similar to iTunes, Windows Media Player, and Amarok. Canonical has decided to use Banshee as the default music player. Banshee provides bookmarks, Amazon Mp3 stores, video support, audio library, and other functions that Rhythmbox does not have. Although the results of this move are unpredictable, its functions are indeed comparable to those of itunes and Windows Media Player.
3. LibreOffice office suite
Since Oracle acquired Sun, there have been doubts about Openoffice. The pattern differentiation gave birth to a new project-Libreoffice. It provides the same functions as Openoffice, so it is not difficult for users to switch. In addition, the Libreoffice team is working hard to clear the old code. Currently, the first stable version of Libreoffice v3.3 has been released.
4. Firefox 4
Firefox continues to serve as the default browser, although Google Chrome wins quickly with light weight. Mozilla will release Firefox 4 in May and apply it to Ubuntu11.04. At that time, Firefox 4 will launch some new features to provide a better user experience.
