Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Zesty Zapus New Features and Improvements

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 ships with version 3.24 of the GNOME desktop environment and will receive security updates for nine months. The release announcement indicates this will probably be the final version of Ubuntu GNOME: As announced by Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will include GNOME instead of Unity. Specifically, it will be GNOME (including GNOME Shell) with minimal Ubuntu customization. Next year, if you are using either Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS, you will be prompted to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. As a result of this decision there will no longer be a separate GNOME flavor of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Minimum System Requirements

  1. 1 GHz processor (for example Intel Celeron) or better.
  2. 1.5 GB RAM (system memory).
  3. 10 GB of free hard drive space for installation.
  4. Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media.
  5. Internet access is helpful (for installing updates during the installation process).
