Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail

[Stone Rain]

Is anyone else here using the development releases of Ubuntu 13.04?

I upgraded from 12.10 and found it to be far superior, you guys' opinions on it?

Haven't yet, usually run Mint. In what ways do you find 13.04 superior to 12.10?

+1

I usually wait for mint or Xubuntu, the current ubuntu interface is not usable IMO, it is like windows 8.

13.04 runs faster and the animations drag less, mainly. When I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, I noticed .10 dragged greatly when opening programs, handling webpages, etc.

Those problems are gone with 13.04.

I've been pretty happy with 12.04LTS. Reskinned it and added the Cairo launcher and several other tweaks. MS Office running in Wine and a WinXP VM in virtualbox for CAD/CAM stuff. What's the compelling reason to switch when Precise still receives OS updates on pretty much a weekly basis? I just got the new kernel a few days ago.

You just get security and stability updates, no new tech. I always preferred the LTS releases when I ran Ubuntu. With a couple ppas and backports, I had everything I really needed.

I am interested in seeing what the Ubuntu 13.04 can do. Once i had managed (LOL) to get Ubuntu 12.04 working i found out that it's a very good operating system.

How would a 3 monitor setup run on Ubuntu these days?

 

[ninjabear]

I use dual monitors and they run great I only use it for basic things so I can surf the web and my lady can watch a movie on the big screen at the same time.

I will need to download this version. I got a slightly older Core2Duo rig I would to try it on.

I am steering well clear from anything Canonical until they change their tracking philosophy. I can still reap the benefits with Mint without the bother.
