Ubuntu 13.10 Review

Many hardcore desktop fans still haven't forgiven Ubuntu for shift to its Unity interface. Others dislike however Canonical, Ubuntu's parent company, has gone its own manner with such technical problems as performing on the Mir show stack rather than the a lot of thought Wieland. And, some folks dislike however Ubuntu is combining "local" searches with internet searches. So what!
Here's all that basically matters. Back in Gregorian calendar month 2011, Ubuntu's founder, Mark Shuttleworth aforementioned that the aim of Ubuntu's new path was "to bring the fun and freedoms and innovation and performance and security that have continually been a part of the linux platform, to a shopper audience." he is done it.

Sure, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, that has simply gone into its final unharness candidate stage, is not a desktop linux that a linux tekki United Nations agency still compiles his or her kernels from source code will love. But, it is not meant to be that sort of desktop.
It's meant to be a linux desktop that anyone, say my currently 81-year previous relative-in-law will use. From that stance Ubuntu has been successful and this one week from final unharness version is even a lot of of a win for those that simply to use a laptop while not tears.
