[quote=Adam Conrad/Canonical]Codenamed "Wily Werewolf", 15.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.

Under the hood, there have been updates to many core packages, including a new 4.2-based kernel, a switch to gcc-5, and much more.

Ubuntu Desktop has seen incremental improvements, with newer versions of GTK and Qt, updates to major packages like Firefox and LibreOffice, and stability improvements to Unity.

Ubuntu Server 15.10 includes the Liberty release of OpenStack, alongside deployment and management tools that save devops teams time when deploying distributed applications - whether on private clouds, public clouds, x86, ARM, or POWER servers, or on developer laptops. Several key server technologies, from MAAS to juju, have been updated to new upstream versions with a variety of new features.

The newest Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu are also being released today. More details can be found for these at their individual release notes:

I haven't used vanilla Ubuntu since Unity. I prefer XFCE out of all the flavors, but I use subtle on my laptop. I don't recommend Lubuntu unless you absolutely have a shit PC; there are a LOT of missing dependencies that you're going to end up installing anyways. Xubuntu all the way

I really can't switch to any debian distro for home or company after RHEL offered near full testing for CentOS packages.

I liked their netbook distro as for VM on a laptop, gui that worked in a smaller window on the screen and wasn't bloated to a point where I could do other tasks while running. But once they got rid of it, never used ubuntu again.

Yep, Fedora with XFCE for my desktops, CentOS for my servers.

I honestly wouldn't use LXDE for anything, if your PC is that bad, it would be better to use Openbox or something.

Well, maybe use LXDE if you're nostalgic towards the Windows 98 days.

I don't get LXDE tbh. If anything of mine can't run XFCE, it's getting a tiling WM or straight terminal. Though once I did do a super minimal arch install with just x-wm. It ran quite light.

You mean Ucuntu? Ahhehe....don't hate me :(

[TIIIN MAAAN]

I'll download when I can get the torrent file, releases.ubuntu.com seems to be hiccupping

[Mike_Tyson]

XUbuntu is great, I have it on my laptop, and it's a pleasure to use

[Killuah]

Mint all the way :toot:

[killerteacup]

Xubuntu all the way

that little mouse is my dream

Speaking of xubuntu, xubuntus update for 15.10 has savable panel setups! So you can save like, 3 different panel layouts made up of multiple panels, and choose between them at will which is super cool

I'm currently using xubuntu with openbox only but I'll probably move back to xfce at some point

The pun "Werewolf's Willy" is made too easily.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48965039]Have they removed the Amazon integration yet?[/QUOTE]

This stops ads from showing up in the Unity search bar:

I worked at a company this summer that was doing a lot of Linux kernel development, and a bunch of developers there used Ubuntu. I haven't had a good reason to change yet.

[Revenge282]

Mint for desktops, Debian for servers, if you don't venture to the RHEL/CentOS dark side.

Never really got on the vanilla Ubuntu train...

Canonical is terrible. Why is Ubuntu still the most popular OS, its not even the most user friendly.

Reputation and user misconception.

They are running out of letters

[Swilly]

I still get why they give the most ridiculous names to Linux distros.
