The Ubuntu 18.04 release arrived at the end of April and plenty of news coverage was there to greet it.
Most major tech publications no longer carry reviews of Ubuntu, instead preferring to give readers with a punchy “overview”, with a blow-by-blow rundown of the key improvements or changes at hand.
So this post is less of a “review roundup” and more of a “overview roundup”.
The good news is that plenty of such posts appeared after the Bionic Beaver burrowed its way out on April 26, 2018.
And in this article we recap the best of them!
Ubuntu 18.04: Press Reaction
Ars Technica‘s Sean Gallagher treated readers to a “first look” at Ubuntu 18.04 (ahead of a more in-depth Ubuntu 18.04 review due for publication later in the month).
Alongside a well-stocked gallery of screenshots Gallagher shared his own thoughts on the release, writing: “Most of the major internal changes in 18.04 LTS are more important on the server side. But so far, as Ars’ primary day-to-day Linux desktop user, I’ve been really impressed with the snappiness and usability of this latest LTS desktop.”
