Linux Updates

[Bapun]

Microsoft has brought a number of improvements to WSL over the past few years. You don’t need to enable developer mode anymore. In addition to Ubuntu, you can choose to install Fedora, OpenSUSE or SUSE Enterprise Linux. And you can run Windows apps from a Bash terminal window or Linux apps from a Windows PowerShell window.

Officially, only command-line applications are supported. The Windows Subsystem for Linux feature is aimed at developers who want to get work done within a Windows environment, while still using Linux tool. But users have been finding unofficial ways to load a graphical user interface for a while.

While there are no major new features coming to WSL with the Fall Creators Update, now that the feature is coming out of beta, you’ll be able to file issues and feedback using the normal Windows support tools.

Now, about 17 years later, Canonical's Linux distro is finally following in Microsoft's dusty footsteps and adding a trash can (rubbish bin) icon to its upcoming 17.10 release for October. Artful Aardvark is particularly notable because it (controversially) will be the first Ubuntu release that uses the GNOME shell by default instead of Unity.

Canonical has released the final beta of Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark for Desktop, Server, and Cloud products. It represents the last major development before the release candidate which ships a week before the final release, which itself is scheduled for the October 19. Ubuntu 17.10 is not an LTS so it’ll be supported for just nine months.
