Ubuntu 14.10 ("Unicorn") was developed a few weeks ago. Now developers have made the first major change to use the new Linux kernel version.

Generally, the development of the next version of Ubuntu is based on the previous version, such as Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The development team began to add new software packages to the Linux kernel, usually those that were not available in the previous version. One of the most important components of the Linux release is the Linux kernel, which is also updated now.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS comes with the 3.13 Linux kernel. Developers have no chance to add version 3.14 to it. It is too late to release so that there is not enough time for testing. So far, the Ubuntu development team has not explained which kernel version will be used for the final release, but they have compiled it in the 3.15 kernel version even if it is still under development.

During a Ubuntu kernel team meeting, Joesph Salisbury announced: "We uploaded the first 3.15-Based Kernel to the Utopic archive, 3.10.0-1.5, it is now based on the latest Linux kernel version 3.15-rc5."

Unless the kernel version 3.16 is available before the kernel end date of Ubuntu 14.10 (the new kernel will not be submitted if this date point is missed), until January 1, October, this version is likely to be implemented.

If nothing happens, the development iteration of each kernel is between 8 and 10 candidate versions, but this number is not fixed. On average, Linus Torvalds releases an RC candidate version every week, but it is not fixed. For example, no new version has been released nearly two weeks after candidate candidates for release of the 3.15 series.

According to the Convention of Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04.1 will be released in the next few months. The kernel deadline is about five weeks.

Ubuntu 14.10 (codenamed "Unicorn") is known as a very interesting version and has brought about a new feature: both Unity 8 and Mir versions serve as part of the general version.

If you really want to know what will happen to Ubuntu 14.10 In the future, you can download the updated version every day. Now we can see that it is similar to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but it will change soon!
