Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Will Ship With Linux Kernel 4.4 LTS
prisoninmate writes: The current daily build of the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) remains based on the Linux 4.2 kernel packages of the stable Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) operating system, while the latest and most advanced Linux 4.3 kernel is tracked on the master-next branch of the upcoming operating system. In the meantime, the Ubuntu Kernel Team announced plans for moving to Linux kernel 4.4 for the final release of the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system.
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop
sudo apt-get purge unity*
sudo reboot
I don't know why you thought that. Ubuntu LTS releases have always been on a 2 year schedule.
universal hate? No, there's just a very very small vocal minority. in places that matter, like dev lists, people who want to make linux better welcome systemd. I think the hold outs are the ones that have never done reinstalls, customized their system to the max, etc. They already have 'fast' systems, and see any change to the old way of doing things as bad. They are the minority. Also, most of them are users and don't contribute back.
Stderr is not and never has been dropped. RTFM.
Of course on servers, swallowing stderr
It doesn't. Not per design, not per default configuration. stderr is logged and can be redirected to the console. That is if you ever bothered to read the manual.
