A small review of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx beta 1

It is strange that on Habré there was still no review of the first beta, just a list of innovations . So fix this.

You can download the distribution from the official site - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1 . You can also upgrade from the system, to do this, press Alt + F2, call “update-manager -d” and select the update to the new version. Under the cut screenshots and some text.

Designers Ubuntu clearly mowed under the Mac. It’s not up to me to decide whether this is the right direction, but a new topic causes conflicting feelings: on the one hand, I really like the dwarf panel palette and indicator skins, and on the other hand, controls are disfigured by gradient gradients and unnecessary fillets. I think I’ll go back to the Human theme, since they left the opportunity.

The buttons really moved to the opposite side.
Nautilus
I do not like? Correct!

It was not possible to work under the Mac, but I got used to this arrangement of buttons in literally 20 minutes.


By default, the client is available for social networks - Gwibber

Decent functional client. Supports the following services: Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, FriendFeed, StatusNet, Qaiku, Identi.ca. By the way, from the applet of the user who now controls only the status, you can write tweets. Probably convenient, I rarely use Twitter.

Ubuntu One Music Store

Read detailed topic

It works through the module to the Rhythmbox audio player. The idea is a huge catalog of music that can be bought in one click. But while there is not a very large selection, many famous groups and performers do not. However, the idea with this store is very good and useful for both users and Canonical.

Updated Application Center

Few more words


Firefox defaults to Amazon search. The system loads on the eye faster, which is incredibly pleasing. New open source and proprietary drivers from Nvidia. The latest kernel version is 2.6.32. A video editor was also installed, but was torn down due to hanging after entering. Also added a lot of all sorts of small, imperceptible at first glance features and corrections.

Impressions of the update is entirely positive. I would like to wish the developers further success in the development of free software. We are waiting for the release.

UPD. I thank everyone for karma. Transferred to the thematic blog.
