Ubuntu 13.04 Final Release Review - Fast & Glossy
Review of Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) final release - the most glossy and fastest Unity release of Ubuntu yet.
Ubuntu 13.04 is a vast improvement over its predecessor Ubuntu 12.10, the system is far more stable and runs a lot faster.
A lot of improvements were made to the underlying system to improve responsiveness, reduce memory usage, and improve full screen gaming framerates.
1:01 Unity Improvements
1:45 Mounting Android Phones
2:36 LibreOffice Global Menu & HUD
3:06 Downsides of Ubuntu 13.04
3:52 Pre-installed Applications
4:58 Conclusion
There is also a new touch interface for Tablets and Mobiles, I'm unable to try this feature out though.
Other improvements include: new glossy shutdown / logout menu, new application and window switchers added to Unity bar, LibreOffice menu now integrated into Global Menu and HUD, and ability to mount Android phones in Nautilus.
Support for interim Ubuntu releases is now reduced to 9 months
