Among other things, Ubuntu 14.10 includes a new Linux kernel version - Version 3.16, while providing improved access to high-resolution displays support, and ship new versions of Firefox, LibreOffice, and other popular software pre-installed on the platform.

Ubuntu 14.10 main branch resembles the 14.04 version, as there are no major changes in the environment of Unity desktop. But if you're running Ubuntu on a computer that has a high resolution screen, things should go much better now.

Developer things seem a little rosier. Ubuntu 14.10 introduced the "Ubuntu Developer Tools Center" that simplifies the process of installing the Android SDK, outbuildings and other necessities, all with a single command. Canonical says that other platforms, including Go and Dart will be added in due course.

You can also try a preview version of the next version of Unity installing Ubuntu Desktop Next , or if you're not a fan of Unity, you can always try one of the other alternatives Unity for Ubuntu, such as Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Ubuntu GNOME.

Without interest?
Ubuntu 14.10 is a reliable and solid as a rock release . Perhaps more here than ever. But it is important to remember that this is an update uninteresting on paper, and that is far from essential for many. For those on versions prior to the LTS version in April, avid fans of Ubuntu and developers who need packages and the latest libraries, Utopic Unicorn may be worthwhile.

For the rest, with a very short support, and only a handful of applications updates, the game is perhaps not worth the candle.

Note that Ubuntu 14.10 does not provide long-term support , which means it will be officially supported for only nine short months. But Ubuntu 15.04 will indeed be launched before the media ends.
