analysis conditions Ubuntu 11.10 , I can not resist me to share my first impressions on the queen of the house and its two major landowners, and Kubuntu Xubuntu , since I have tasted “quite” what they can offer new versions of these three distributions.

ubu Microanalysis Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu 11.10

Note: This article title as “microanalysis” just like that, a little more sketchy than usual, but you can make the idea that this is an opinion piece with my first impressions as I just said. something quick and not very serious , go. In very broad terms, as I see it:

Ubuntu

11.10

500x375 11.10 Microanalysis Ubuntu Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu 11.10

Despite how much I like the usability constraints of Unity, I have to admit that the qualitative leap in user experience from the previous version of Ubuntu has been spectacular . I’m starting to like the experience offered Canonical, even though I know for a fact that in a couple of weeks I have unhinged. As for the average user, however, I think are well on your way .

Best :

  • The Dash has gone from being a good idea to be the best menu style, waste is meaningless forks, those applications and locations, and has improved in all respects, with the lenses or lenses to highlight.
  • Ubuntu Software Center is impressive, also the best category. For speed, information and options I still prefer the console, but for new users or to find new programs, the idea of ​​Ubuntu is unmatched. Only they need to improve their performance and continue polishing.
  • worst :

  • The feeling of sluggishness in the response to the panel launchers is maddening, and the worst is that it increases the feeling of heaviness on the desktop even more.
  • We must improve the management of resources. Except for the above, not bad thing, but it is an environment that stands out for its lightness. In fact, I would say that Unity is the heaviest desktop GNU / Linux.
  • That monster called Nautilus
  • … is uglier than ever!
  • Kubuntu

    11.10

    500x375 11.10 Microanalysis Kubuntu Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu 11.10

    Kubuntu has a reputation not entirely deserved as bad KDE distribution and someday talk about it (although we have already done), but not today, because the new version has much to offer. And surely do not lie if I say that oneiric Ocelot is the best release of Kubuntu with KDE 4 so far , since their quality tends to improve as does the desktop on which it is based. That’s the trick (in general, everything is going pretty well in Kubuntu 11.10, although I have to note that, of the three, is the system least I can prove).

    Best :

  • gigantism is gone! That which made the applets of Plasma look so big and ugly in previous versions is no longer with us.
  • Muon
  • , the new software manager, is fine. It is lightweight, fast, integrates with the system tray to advertise the available updates, etc.. Muon is a suite that offers a package manager Synaptyc type and type the Software Center on Ubuntu. It looks surprisingly before too long.
  • Firefox continues to provide desktop integration (also LibreOffice, but not GIMP) after installation.
  • worst :

    rekonq

  • still unprepared for the position of main browser and have not been updated to its latest version.
  • It is high time that Kubuntu present at least one own wallpaper, right? Need something more personal style this distribution.
  • I missed
  • time to test it extensively.
  • Xubuntu

    11.10

    500x375 11.10 Microanalysis Xbuntu Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu 11.10

    impressive. This distribution is that you should pro-choice but anti-Unity Ubuntu , because with two touches is almost the same as Ubuntu 10.10 and also has features such as the very center of Software. Of the three, well, Xubuntu is the only one that I have a job working in production, and is greatly improve the experience offered at its previous version, which was excellent (I for one am looking forward to come out with version 12.04 5 years of support).

    Best :

    The Xfce desktop

  • prettier by default, Xubuntu, based on a slight but constant evolution of style Elementary.
  • simply, it works great:)
  • worst :

  • default configuration of the panels should be more traditional, lower pitcher is confusing and in general this should be improved.
  • Small

  • things to improve in Xfce, but that’s not to blame Xubuntu … do you?
  • ends here. I left a lot to tell, but if I were to do this would not be a “microanalysis.” Also left out of the game for now Lubuntu, because I have not had occasion to try it. But after its previous version, pretty good, and its recent merger Ubuntu family as a full member, I am sure that those responsible have done least well.

    In the coming days will have a real analysis of Ubutnu 11.10 )
