 So we're gonna take a look today. It's June 2017, and we're taking a look today at the nightly build of Ubuntu 1710 and We're just gonna run through the installer see if it looks any different than the previous version But what we're really here for is taking a look at the gnome desktop that they've now made the default Which is pretty cool, and it's you know been interesting because they've used Unity for so long So I figured you know let's see how it looks and how the transitions are moving I've been a long time a bunch of user a bunch who may be a little bit boring But I like it because it's also really stable which helps quite a bit when you have to use as your production machine Which I've been using for quite a number of years So I won't bore you with anything that's not really different, you know the same install third-party updates continue Most of this looks all pretty normal so I'll just fast-forward through a lot of this All right The first thing you notice when you log in on the login screen is The gnome or gnome Wayland so we can choose each one of these here So the default is just gnome and the other ones know gnome on Wayland No, I understand from my read. It's still running a light dm as the manager But it's supposed to be moving over to GDM in the final parts This is what I've read in forums, so we're gonna head and do a standard login here see what it does And we're at our Standard gnome desktop if you remember gnome, so let's open up Firefox And let's start open up some more sessions kind of see what it looks like here We have our options menu here. We're kind of missing some we have the files over here Little hamburger bars they call us. Let's open up some other apps It's a little bit sluggish, but I think that probably has to do a lot with my computer I Don't have good 3d graphics support with my yeah, this is really laggy, but this is completely Undoubtedly because I don't have the best graphics support Through virtual box. It just now the 3d past. You doesn't work. I got a fast video card works great natively This is a bug. I've understood virtual boxes doesn't have a wonderful speed support So don't blame the lag on that, but yeah, we got kind of the gnome and we have the workspaces here I've always liked the way they handle the workspaces in gnome. It's kind of slick I do like the right-click new folders back so we say to going up to the top to do that Yeah, there's no progress bar. Of course, it probably copy too fast. I have to find some bigger files to test that But I like the activities So you have the context menu showing up for whichever thing you're on Standard alt tab works so you can do this it switches you to the other workspaces And then I can click the activities to go to each workspace, and then I can actually drag these over. That's nice standard gnome features arrow keys can Hardlock so what I'm doing is it's the all control left and right Up is full left side right side or I said that backwards, but you think you guys know what I mean So you have that Let's see. What else do we have here in the launcher itself? There's the install release The Amazon I'm not thrilled that they put this in here. That's kind of annoying to me But it seems to be instead of integrated into the system. It's now opening it inside of your I'm assuming just a default browser You make that full screen Now does each tab. Let's see if we open up Firefox Well, that's really laggy. I guess I'm sure that's Not the system Not a fault of that but it could be because I generally get way better performance than this But I think it's really trying to rely on some of the 3d. So this is actually locked up and won't let me The activities aren't locked just firefoxes. We're gonna man close it close tabs Start up someone else open up another one At least I go to activities. They all shrink out so I could choose which one by going over to the activities on here Let's take a look at the software center in 1710 see what changes are making there So let's take a look at how the install works Kind of your standard gnome screens. Nothing nothing really Urshattering here, but I just kind of want to take a look at this and let's go and let's handle some files on here So let's see if it still works with some of the other things that I like and it generally in a bunch of Make sure this support works Well, that's good. You can still use standard URLs in the top There's I think most distributions support that now I haven't tested all of them But that's a feature when they added it makes it really easy to jump back and forth You can do SMB colon slash slash the IP address or a UNC path for a Samba share or a window share and it's anything goes if you use effort SFTP you can do SSH logins to that so Scrabs something like an ISO that we have here. I Just want to see how the copy file works. So a copy and what copy to our downloads Okay, it does pop up. We have the little Download file transfer here This is one of the small little features I transfer and move a lot of files because I use Linux at my office as my standard Install my work working system. So with doing that it makes it really handy to see what file transfer is going now The downside is it's not a lot of grab space. So can you turn it off? All right, well currently not once we've done this it keeps it there. So we don't have a lot to grab on to Move this around. We got to kind of grab in the middle. That's kind of tedious But I know this is in beta so that might have something to do with why that is Activities Yeah, the lagginess is kind of annoying Let's take a look at what the full application doc looks like We show applications here. There we go Image magic leave your office is installed software updater install release go right into the settings here So see what the settings look any different We can change the lock screen to be separate. That's nice Background we can change it or something less ugly I'm used to seeing the Ubuntu one, but it's definitely not the prettiest background Here's your privacy settings screen lock location services usage history so we can Clear recent history. It's nice easily to turn that off Display doesn't look So we have the nightlight option. Okay, that's interesting change the color tuning warmer. That's a nice feature Searching indexing features are in there notifications Okay, this is nice. You can turn on what notifies you and notification pop-ups But you want them on on the lock screen Details of the computer you can see that I'm running 1710 my Intel i7 4770 at 3.5. Like I said, it's it's not really I got plenty of CPU. Just probably it doesn't do well with the graphics on there We have the update button right here in the details And then we have all of our usual things, you know mouse settings and printers Wonder if it'll find my network printers. Let's see how good it works for this Hey, there's my Dell. There's my HP laser jet identified the Dell's add it real quick Well, that was fairly quick installed it. It says ink level, but it's a laser printer. So it's Tony level, but I will send a test page. Let's see if that actually works Looks very straightforward close Apparently they don't have the test page option in here So we'll use it as default Open up LibreOffice writer and we'll test print this double-click in title bar still maximizes. That's nice and The left and right those are nice little hotkeys to get it to move over to the side to side like that Which to make this kind of fun we could it doesn't work with this window So it does work with the applications you open just print Dell Could not start printer. So so much for default working which I was kind of surprised that Dell wasn't the most Friendliest one. I had to do a little tweaking to get it to work in my my standard install of a bunch of File sharing so we can turn this on or off. So turn that on Well, this is kind of nice. So in your file sharing, you can get really specific wired connection I guess which network you're going to share it to which is actually kind of handy because if you turn Sure file sharing on my laptop and I swapped to different networks I guess that would be an option so I could actually Lock it down so it doesn't share on networks that aren't my own that's definitely kind of a neat feature Of course, I never have file string on my laptop. So I take it to do many clients Bluetooth support and let's look at the power settings finally blank screen automatic suspend So not a lot of options, but I can I can clock close the screen puns I'm sure there's gonna be some tweaking tools that come out that lets you work more with it, but overall this is a Pretty slick. Here's the OS updates. It's remind me that I have let's see how they load. I Don't mind when they hide some of the things for the OS updates But I kind of like the old one that had the terminal thing that popped up. So is it only because I'm in here? I seen there's a standard software updater. So let's take a look at it Or to just bring this one back up again. There we go. There's the one I'm used to seeing It's waiting because this one's running right now But overall I'm not thinking this is too bad with gnome I think it'll be a lot faster natively on my graphics card Some of the slowness like as it probably has a lot to do with the emulation virtual box Not being as smooth as silk, but you can see they're really Coming along with this They've given up on unity which I've been in a linux community long enough to know that No matter how many people hated it. There was enough people that loved it that there will be an argument Of all the unity lovers that are mad. It's gone and all the gnome lovers are going Yay, but then someone's going to be mad because they're as I understand discontinuing the gnome version of ubuntu because It's not needed anymore. So The computer is up to date Look at the settings for this This is so far. It hasn't crashed on me. Um, which is good I don't know that i'm ready to you know turn it into my production machine But I've gnome's got a nice look. I've always liked gnome I'm also, you know, talking with kd neon because it's such a beautiful project as far as iCandy But this is definitely very usable very modern and slick I like the way the activities go there and the ability to Jump to a desktop Add something to it and we can say no, we want this to be part of that Well, let me drag it there so I can drag it to here. There we go So I guess you're saying wouldn't let me move it back. So say I can move it back now Can I move it to this one? Yeah, there we go It'll let you switch between the apps So pretty slick, uh, not unhappy with it. So this is kind of a first look I mean we do a full review as it gets a little bit more mature Uh, but this is the first look of Ubuntu 1710 with gnome desktop. So Uh, yeah, pretty neat. I'm I'm not unhappy with this at all. Like this is very usable I still got my little file transfer and copy things popping up Which makes me happy for file transfers But they kind of need something to get a grip on this because I only have this little spot And when it was transferring files that little spot's really small to try to just easily grab Uh, grab ahold of that but everything else looks good. Uh, you can't really complain It's uh coming along fine I There's the preferences. All right, so we got some of the things up here But uh, I'm sure this project will come along great I'm kind of excited to see the change because I am I I like unity. It's very functional But I like the little bit of extras and a more modern feel I think you get with gnome or even the kde project But like I said, there's a quick look at the ubuntu 1710 nightlies with the default gnome desktop Thanks for watching if you like to content here like and subscribe
