All major changes to the next version Natty Narwhal or Ubuntu 11.04 will become more popular. With Ubuntu, the growth of Linux may be the most widely anticipated release of open-source operating systems.

Ubuntu 11.04 will be officially released on July 15, April 28, and Natty Narwhal will bring about many fundamental changes. Wayland graphics systems will not be released this time, but the unity of 3D functions has replaced the GNOME framework as the default desktop interface.

The integration of the 2D version has also been released. Ubuntu 11.04 uses the Compiz window manager instead of the default Mutter. LibreOffice is included. The first test version of Natty Narwhal has been released on Thursday.

At the same time, some new features have appeared in the last few weeks. The following are four outstanding features.

1. Try and then buy

According to relevant reports, from Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Software Center allows users to test the application software without installing Ubuntu. Android users can now try out the application in Amazon Appstore. The WebUpd8 video on YouTube shows the actual capabilities of the new Ubuntu.

2. 'Love Handles'

Touch screen devices will pay attention to Ubuntu's upcoming "Love Handles", designed to use Ubuntu on tablets or other touch screen devices, making it easier to adjust or move windows. As a Compiz plug-in, Love Handles is said to allow users to adjust the window size by clicking the arrow or holding a corner.

3. No Default third-party Installation

When Ubuntu is installed, the "install third-party software" option is enabled by default. the Ubuntu Technical Committee did not pass this idea last week. The reasons for law and availability were rejected by a vote for proposed changes.

The Technical Committee's meeting records explain, "Failure is intolerable in the case of basic public use. We hope that the full functionality that users expect will appear in open-source software. "

For example, Flash will be downloadable in Ubuntu, but this option will not be selected by default.

4. No more netbooks available

Finally, a few weeks ago, we learned that from the release of Natty Narwhal, Canonical was planning to suspend Ubuntu's netbook version. Instead, there will be an independent core product that can run on "any computer you want, from netbook to notebook and desktop. "At the same time, the Ubuntu server will remain independent.
