Ubuntu 4.16: Off Center Software, Empathy and Brasero – Tux Journal

       
     

Three years after the launch of the game client even on the platform of the Penguin, the games in the catalog are increasing day by day. What future awaits us?


Ubuntu 4.16 LTS, for friends Xenial Xerus, will not bring Unity 8, it is now certain, but some major change you will experience . Yes, because the upper floors of Canonical decided to take out one of the components in a way that has marked the last years of the distro: the Ubuntu Software Center will be replaced by GNOME Software, considered far more rapid and functional.

A change that this most likely will not make unhappy Ubuntu users because, according to some polls, almost no one relies on the Software Center to install new software. The excellent source OMG! Ubuntu !, for example, he has launched a survey on his Twitter profile, asking its readers which method is used to install new programs. Well, on more than 1,200 voters the response has been more than clear: 80% prefer to install new software from the terminal, using apt-get.

But the list of utilities that will be made out with Ubuntu 4.16 LTS does not end there: in Canonical has decided to eliminate even Brasero and Empathy. After all, with notebook and ultrabook that are beginning to be repellent to optical media and platforms with mobile IM that are now the masters, these two software may become outdated. In any case, both Brasero that Empathy can be easily installed by the user will be maintained as the packages in the official repositories. And you, what do you think of these changes?
