Canonical announced today, April 13, 2017, the final release of the Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus operating system, which has been in development for the past six months.
If you are using Ubuntu 16.10 on your personal computer you can upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04, which is powered by the latest stable version of Linux Kernel 4.10, features upgraded graphics using an upgraded X.Org server 1.19.3, and the new Media 17.0.3.
The default desktop environment remains Unity 7, because from the next major LTS release (18.04) the default environment will be Gnome.
Among the new features of the new Ubuntu 17.04 release, we can mention the use of swap files, which will be used instead of a swap partition only for new installations of the operating system. So, you will not see this change if you upgrade from an older version.
The gconf utility is not installed by default, as it has been replaced by GSettings. The new version comes with the latest applications, including LibreOffice 5.3, Mozilla Firefox 52.0.1, and Thunderbird 45.8.0.
So far, the following official flavors have been released: Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, Ubuntu MATE 17.04, Kubuntu 17.04, Xubuntu 17.04, Lubuntu 17.04, Ubuntu Kylin 17.04, Ubuntu Studio 17.04, as well as Ubuntu Budgie 17.04, which makes its debut as an official flavor of Ubuntu with the Budgie desktop.
