First Impressions: Ubuntu 10.10
If you’re a Linux user like myself – or even a potential Linux user – chances are you’re eagerly awaiting the release of Ubuntu 10.10. Today I decided to give the beta version of Ubuntu 10.10 a test-drive using a virtual machine, and I have to say, I’m not all that impressed.
Upon first booting the virtual machine, I was brought to a login screen that looked very similar to that seen in Ubuntu 10.04. The one thing that struck me about the login screen was the fact that the buttons appeared to be of a different style, hinting at the implementation of a new theme throughout the system.
Once I had logged in, I was brought to the desktop. Because 10.10 is still not using Gnome 3, the desktop was very familiar. While some may argue that Gnome 3 and a more innovative layout should be implemented, I for one an relieved that Ubuntu 10.10 will have the same general interface as previous versions.
