Canonical Ltd. has published screen shots from the upcoming release, 10.04 – The Lucid Lynx. And it looks awesome.
I am really looking forward to installing this LTS version as a clean install and not as an upgrade.
With LL Canonical proves that Linux as an desktop OS can look pretty and for some that is just as important as having the best programs available.
And I think that should be the next step for Canonical Ltd.
After the release of LL the guys and girls at Canonical shall visit the biggest software houses and pinpoint why they are not publishing their most popular products on the Linux platform. When they have gotten their answers, they should start adjusting releases of new versions according to the feedback they’ve gotten.
I believe it is when you have Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, Illustrator, MS Office (not likely to happen), industry standard software for accounting and more available on the Linux platform we can really start feeling the success of this Operating system that Linus Thorvalds of Finland once released.
I hope we get there.
