Specify Pangolin is the bet of Canonical to gain ground among users that has been losing little by little because of Linux Mint. And is that Unity, although I do not doubt that it will set a tone in the future of desktops in GNU / Linux, not many people liked him. Today the first Alpha and it has nothing important to highlight.
As has been announced for a long time, Rhythmbox for now it replaces Banshee. I don't know if the boys of Ubuntu they don't want to know anything about Mono, or is it that they want to lighten the weight of the iso, something that on the other hand I cannot understand, especially after they said that from this version, the size of the . Iso will be greater than 700 Mb for what happens to be DVD.
They also include the latest builds Betas de Firefox y Thunderbird, Software Center 5.1.2.1, Gwibber 3.3.1, Kernel 3.2.0-2 and are removed from the default installation to Tomboy y gbrainy, to include monkey. In OMGUbuntu can see more details.
Now, I wonder and where are the advances of Unity? All these applications, with new features included, are of no use if the default desktop is not yet completely polished. Okay, maybe it's very early, but they should focus on this before anything else.
If those of Ubuntu the batteries will not be put soon Linux Mint the distribution taken as a reference to promote among new users or who want to have a pleasant experience with GNU / Linux. However, if you want to download and try it, here are the links.

No intention of offending Ubuntu users, but I think that the bugs of the current version have not yet been corrected and expectations are already being generated for the next one. What do they intend to demonstrate?
<° Ubuntu: D, would you believe me if I told you that I count the days to be able to see the article of the next alpha, and the one that follows, and the beta, and the RC and the release?
No, we wouldn't believe you 😀
Ubuntu, at this point, seems good to me and it seems bad to me. Thanks Ubuntu I was able to enter Linux. The first versions gave me problems, but things impeccably improved version after version ... something extraordinary. He reached his highest point in benefits, but two years to this part ... decision after decision to each worse and worse. For my taste of course: now Banshee yes, now Banshee no, now monkey yes, now monkey no…. etc, etc ... .. The idea of creating your own and unique space, in the image and likeness of MacOS, outside the community and especially more and more outside Gnome…. I dislike it greatly. For me Ubuntu has died and if I have not changed it yet it is due to lack of time. Every time it annoys me more that Ubuntu is identified almost exclusively with Linux or that facilities are offered in the installation of certain programs for Ubuntu only (PPA and others) and to the rest that they give them ... .. Let him continue with his work of «hooking »To more users but it seems to me that it is on the wrong path and I only hope that it is not bad for the world, because the first thing that is thought is that its work as a« locomotive »is good, but I don't see it clearly. I agree with you: I have always said that they should start to take more care of the versions, from the artwork to the stability and not go at full speed.
Do not forget that Ubuntu has great things in its hands, such as running it on any device (mobile, tablet, etc), I think it is the first distro that will completely change the image of Linux in these years, wait and see…. .
Welcome condor:
I don't think that's that relevant. In fact, if the mobile, tablet or device that is installed continues to have current problems, you will not have achieved anything. But not only that, Android is the undisputed king in this type of artifact and I do not think Ubuntu will steal the position.

If everyone follows the path set by the distributions that promote the classic gnome desktop then we are still stuck and not moving forward.
Renewed or die.
Welcome mountaineer:
You are right, we must evolve so as not to die stagnant, but keep in mind that not all of us can afford to take that step, mainly due to resource problems. I have never said that Unity is wrong, only that it is not as good as it should be. It is not about continuing with the same Gnome 2 appearance, it is simply about having a Desktop as simple, practical and productive as the Gnome of yesteryear.
Welcome to the site.
I share what you think, but it is also true that all excesses are bad ... too drastic a change is not a positive thing.
KDE for example, I think it is an environment that had a vision beyond its "time", and started before this path that you mention, semantic desktop and now the possibility of using KDE on computers, Smartphones, Tablets ... I really think it is an excellent environment.
Anyway haha, welcome to the site 😀

I am one of those who think about the "clarity" that the existence of versions for each coda would have for the user: Ubuntu for desktop and Ubuntu for mobile devices…. and not using us all as guinea pigs. I believe that in the end this will be the steering wheel of Canonical, but perhaps it is already too late.
Ah, I read the article only for "general Linux culture", but for me Ubuntu is already dead. It is no longer the “Linux for humans” that I knew with version 9.04; now it is "Linux according to the whims of Shutlleworth." I'm on Linux Mint 12 and I really like it, although I don't know why it shows up on Desdelinux I'm using Ubuntu. Anyway, it's good that in Linux there are many distributions and the freedom to choose, because if Linux were only Ubuntu, we would be like Windows users: only three options (XP, Vista, Seven), which in the case of Ubuntu would be 10.10 , 11.04 and 11.10.
Try putting the UserAgent with Linux Mint 12 in Firefox:
