Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak - Cue in Benny Hill music

Let the distro season begin. I've written a long, thorough and largely negative review of Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak 64-bit edition, tested on a laptop with UEFI, Secure Boot, GPT, 16 partitions, and multiple instances of Windows and Linux, covering live session, installation, and post-install use, including look & feel, Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing and printing, partitioning, multimedia playback - MP3 and HD video, smartphone support - iPhone and Ubuntu Phone, applications, resource usage, hardware support, suspend & resume, battery life, Unity 8 overview, numerous problems like graphics artifacts and glitches, horrible package management and missing dependencies, poor network support, poor codec support, crippled file manager, many other issues and woes, and more. Enjoy. Not.

yeap...

btw, I enjoyed your Brit drive article.

 

Introducing new features without improving existing ones - make no sense.

Stick with an LTS release.

 

It's not looking too good for Planet Ubuntu!

 

There was talk in 2012 suggesting that Canonical would only do LTS releases. They should've sticked with that plan. Clearly they're not capable of managing mobile and desktop at the same time.
