If you’re running Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak on your machine, it’s time for an upgrade. The open source Linux distribution has reached the end of its support cycle after nine months. Canonical will be cutting off all the updates and security patches for Ubuntu 16.10 from today, July 20.

so?

Ubuntu is dead until they release 18.04, when """"probably""""" they will choose GNOME 3 all over Unity.

Does Ubuntu have the worst version naming system in history?

>Jeff Thinks I Should Change This, But To What?
Dropping unity seems like a weird move since they put a lot of resources into developing it, i thought it was an ok DE.
>>61469071
so just apt distupgrade-whatever?
kubuntu 17.04 nigger
>>61469118
Holy shit, Linux is like one giant, on-going shitpost.
>>61468579
Okay, and? It's not news if it's not the LTS version.
>>61471975
One less version that uses unity by default. Next release in october 17.10 uses GNOME by default.
>>61474022
sounds shit
>>61474059
I remember when /g/ was calling unity the devil for the amazon spyware and now canonical is the devil for removing it and killing mir.
>>61474059
yes but good shit
So is Ubuntu 16.04 lts still secure
>>61474212
security updates till 2021 but your packages are going to be stale as fuck
>>61474093
the minority are a vocal little bunch
>>61469118
Wow, I just learned about this now. All those years wasted not shitposting this.
I like Mate
>>61474345
You can use PPAs and have the best of both worlds.
>>61474093
thats because gnome is worse than unity, they should go with kde
>>61476039
>gnome is worse than unity
Really?
>>61469055
Android's worse than anything.
why is it a big deal what DE the thing ships with
don't we have the ubuntu variants for that?
>>61478076
Its because people had just gotten used to Unity, also Gnome 3 is very controversial.
>>61478076
kubuntu and xubuntu are garbage
>>61478338
Why?
>>61469055
No,Fedora takes that honor with it's Reddittesque title "beefy miracle".
Unity will be forked. That's pretty much a certainty. Will it ever make it into the family of "official" ubuntu variants? Perhaps. Too much time has been sunk into Unity for it's devs to let it go in the bin. Too many people hate G3 as it is. I'm not really worried about it. I'll run 16.04LTS until 18.04 and then I'll see what is what.
>>61478439
They aren't
Dear God,could ubuntu do a rolling release distro?
