Ubuntu 14.10
As usual, there’s a slew of software updates as Ubuntu pulls in the
latest software from “upstream” projects. Ubuntu 14.10 uses version 3.16
of the Linux kernel, so that might bring some improved hardware
support—if you have hardware problems on Ubuntu 14.04, you may want to
try Ubuntu 14.10. There are also new versions of LibreOffice, the GNOME
components, and everything else that’s been updated in the six months
since Ubuntu 14.04 was released.
But there’s not a lot that seems new beyond that. The blueprints for Utopic are fairly thin, with much fewer features being worked on now than in the past. Many of the new features are for the server or cloud editions of Ubuntu. For example, there are improvements for LXC (Linux Containers) container-based virtualization and the OpenStack cloud computing platform. Unless you’re using Ubuntu as a cloud server, the blueprints won’t look very interesting to you.
