Ubuntu 18.10 will be more efficient with the use of energy

After the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, the people of Canonical are already working with what will be the next version of their operating system, Ubuntu 18.10, whose release is scheduled for the month of October of this year 2018.

Ubuntu 18.10 will be more efficient with laptop battery

Canonical is working to offer better battery life, which is one of the weaknesses of Linux distributions compared to Windows, at least in most cases. Canonical works to put hard disk controllers, USB controllers, and other hardware into a low power state when they are not needed. Something that will save significant watts, to extend the autonomy of the battery.

Ubuntu 18.10 will also feature a faster first startup for Snap apps, support for installing the Chromium web browser instantly, DLNA media sharing, integration with the KDE Connect app to connect an Ubuntu PC to an Android phone, and a significant number of software updates, among many other things.

Ubuntu 18.10 will also be characterized by including a new visual theme, something that users have been asking for for many years for the spartan aspect of the distribution, although it is something that can be changed manually very easily, so it has not been a priority for Canonical. The new theme will be called Communitheme, which is developed by the community as its name suggests.

The daily builds prior to the release of Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish are already available, they are very immature versions, so they are not recommended for work teams and daily use, since it is expected that they have many errors and bugs.
