Ubuntu11.10 will return to GNOME again

Because Ubuntu11.04 "NattyNarwhal" focuses on Unity, 11.04 is equipped with GNOME2.X. The subsequent development work of Ubuntu11.10 "OneiricOcelet" has started.

Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" focuses on Unity, so 11.04 is equipped with GNOME 2.x. The subsequent development of Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelet" has started. It is worth noting that 11.10 will be equipped with GNOME 3 + Unity. At that time, you can choose to use Unity or GNOME Shell.

Developers said it was not a problem to make Unity and GNOME Shell coexist. The main obstacle is that many software packages in Ubuntu have been patched to support Ubuntu AppIndicator (replacing the framework of the system tray right-click menu and the project homepage ), this feature may cause some trouble in GNOME Shell. Developers will implement a detection mechanism to enable these software to automatically disable AppIndicator-related features in non-Unity environments.

In addition, Metacity and Qt-based Unity-2D (for hardware that cannot run Compiz) will also appear in LiveCD.
