Despite that Linux It is the most secure operating system out there and probably the most stable as well, it seems that it has not quite established itself as a popular choice for the average user. In fact, if only a few people try a version of the Linux operating system, only a few continue to use it after a few months. However, there is a version that is undoubtedly the best positioned to reach the general public, since it is designed for both the average user and the expert: Ubuntu 15.10 Willy Werewolf.
The novelties that this version has are the Linux kernel 4.2, updates on important applications such as Firefox 41 o Libre Office 5.0.2., or the desktop environment Unity 7.3.3 which, now, supports the new command Steam Controller.
And now how do I get hold of Wily Werewolf? As always, we will get the OS through the disk images that Canonical makes available to us on its official Ubuntu website. We can download different variations of Ubuntu 15.10 Willy Werewolf, each with small variations, although many of them are not official. We leave you the link to the official version:
Download Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf (http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/)
Once we have downloaded the version we need, 32 or 64 bits, we will only have to transfer it to a USB memory or a DVD to install it natively on our computer. It can also be used in any virtual machine like VirtualBox or Vmware.
Finally, it must be emphasized that this is one of the versions of Ubuntu standard, that is, those that are updated every 6 months and are only supported for 9 months. Due to this, if you are looking for a more stable version you will have to resort to any of the LTS editions, which have up to 5 years of support from those responsible for Ubuntu.
I don't know why this is the second time this post has appeared in my feed.
But since I am here, I take the opportunity to comment on what the other time I had not had time or desire: I do not see any advantage or incentive for those who do not use Linux (or Ubunto, for that matter) to go through version 15.10.
It's not even LTS and it doesn't come with big changes. Less, changes that someone who is not on Linux appreciates.
But hey, let's see what the sovereign thinks.
How so Unknown?
At least in the Mate version the change is noticeable and it is very fluid, much better than the previous ones.
Regarding the LTS versions, although they have extended support, it does not mean that they are the most stable.
It seems to me a sensational title, considering what has already been commented. The desktop is not the best, Ubuntu has long forgotten pc users and I have to say that everything has been working much worse for a long time. Trusty is by far the worst version I have ever seen and is supposed to be the "stable" one. I'm scared when they release the next LTS with systemd. Ultimately, Ubuntu is in the doldrums
Systemd is not unstable at all.
Linux is already popular ...
For a moment I read "Hitler" and was scared…. hahahahahahahahahaha
Ubuntu is not going to be any more popular than it is. Canonical, being a small company with limited staff, is going very slowly and convergence looks long, they are going very, very slowly ... to a point that when Unity 8 is released it will be obsolete.
I am an Ubuntu user.
Ubuntu is down. Much better linux mint work for the desktop, with cinamon and kde it is wonderful.
Both the title and the opinion expressed in the document seem wrong to me.
On the one hand we always recommend that new users install the LTS versions to always be up to date with the latest security updates. And on the other, there are articles like this one that all it does is confuse novice users and they don't know which version to install.
I share your opinion ... The most recommended at this time is the 14.04 LTS ...
Until the Next LTS comes out in April of the other year ... This version is for those of us who are more experienced modestly saying it ...
At the moment I am commenting from Ubuntu 15.04 and the truth is that I am not very satisfied.
Unity has many performance problems, and the search engine hangs the interface when you are looking for an application.
On the other hand, the virtual desktop selector crashed several times.
Of course, these things do not happen all the time, they are sporadic, but previously I came from using Mageia, and I did not have these problems, I calculate that the issue is in Unity, so I will probably switch to Xubuntu.
Hopefully Ubuntu 15.10 improves these things a bit, otherwise I am preparing the Xubuntu iso.
Regards!
I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but in the Mate version. I liked that desk, what can you do?
The truth is that few changes are noticed, but I see the interesting update for those of us who have Intel graphics for the new version of the drivers that go in the kernel, but nothing else.
I agree with what has been said: an LTS version is better for a new user. I use Ubuntu 14.04 and it works quite well. I didn't like the default desktop, I downloaded another one and voila.
The stability thing is true: the very few times it hangs, you click or reboot and it still works perfectly! .
There is no relationship between the title and the content of the article.
I don't use ubuntu, I was expecting something more groundbreaking.
I don't know how popular a kernel version can bring (taking into account the role of the kernel in Linux distributions), a browser version (there are thousands), an office suite version (there are several), or the support of a controller that out of every 10 people, 0,4 should use it.
It was probably written by an ubuntu user who wants to attract attention.
The day Ubuntu stops using Unity and uses something more "desktop" like KDE or Cinnamon by default, it will surely be usable again by normal users. As long as I continue with that desire for a tablet, no.
I am not saying that Unity is not usable (which in fact, it is not at all), but that the average user is used to the normal desktop paradigm (close buttons on the right, task bar and start menu). You take it out and they don't know where to start.
I do not know why . but this is the only version that runs smoothly on my computer, it's much faster and more stable than the LTS, and that is an old notebook about 4 years old
waiting for the next version of ubuntu 16.04 which is lts
From that version if I expect something else.
