Although there is no official announcement yet, Canonical has released the latest ISO images of Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) and its derivatives.
The wait is over, and you can now download Ubuntu 17.10 and install it on your personal computer, provided it supports 64-bit, as this is the first version of Ubuntu to drop support for 32-bit installations. The other official flavors offer 32-bit ISO images.
Running on the latest Linux 4.13 kernel, Ubuntu 17.10 is the first release in seven years to abandon the Unity user interface in favor of the GNOME 3 desktop environment. The final Ubuntu 17.10 desktop image uses the recently released GNOME 3.26.1 packages.
Another major change in Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) is that Wayland is now used by default on systems that support it, with X.Org Server as an option that the user can select from the login screen or can be automatically enabled as an alternative if Wayland is not supported on your computer.
Until the release is official, you can download the Live ISO images of Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu Server 17.10 which is available for 64bit, 32bit, PPC64el (PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian systems) and s390x (IMB System z systems).
Of course, you can also download the 64-bit and 32-bit Live ISO images for Kubuntu 17.10, Xubuntu 17.10, Lubuntu 17.10, Lubuntu 17.10, Ubuntu MATE 17.10, Ubuntu Kylin 17.10, Ubuntu Studio 17.10, and Ubuntu Budgie 17.10.
