Well , I am not really an expert nor a geek , but I’ve used ubuntu since 8.04. So I’d like to start with the main change in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) User Interface.

If you haven’t seen it before here is a look.



So they changed the known brownish ubuntu usual look into a purple dark looking theme. Which i find very nice and more friendly than the previous ubuntu theme.

Then Comes The change of the location of the task bar ( close , minimize , maximize Bar ) from the normal ubuntu - windows right , to the -Mac- Left position as shown in the previous picture.
These looked good to me, Although I don’t encourage the copying from other operating systems, as it is adds negative points to ubuntu. People in open source community did a script to return the buttons to the right position again !

What I personally love about the 10.04 ubuntu is the new communication manager ( chat , Social Network and mail ) all in one icon on the main task bar on top. It is just simple and easy to use. It is called Telepathy, Kinda a clone from the well known communication agent ‘Pidgin’ . However it still have some bugs that you have to report and re-report everytime u startup the machine.
And Finally the Download Agent - Previously known as Add-Remove Programs , it is more user-friendly now, and have more programs to install.

I’ve been trying it for a week now , that’s what i like so far , in web development and other technical issues could be in an up coming review. This was just a quick ( end-user ) Review. Hope you liked it .
