      I don't think there is any...if you want Gnome 3 just install 13.04 and just apt-get the Gnome3 environment from there...that was also what i did way back with Feisty Fawn to install KDE into Ubuntu.

        From the article: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...il/000171.html

        Which then links to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME

        The first official release will be 13.04, which will be available by the end of April 2013. If you're itching to try it now, check out the daily images here.

          No I don't want daily builds, I want the official 13.04 stable release. Anyway, I found it:

            I feel that LTS is a no-go for people with new hardware or who intend to upgrade to newer hardware sometime during the life of the LTS release. There's just too much that will potentially not be supported in the way of hardware drivers.

              New kernel, new graphics drivers, updated repos, small improvements to boot time and Unity... That's pretty much all I wanted

              Ubuntu mostly just tests and integrates other upstream changes. What else do you want from updates?

              I'd looking forward to either Mir or Wayland; I don't know the details, but I suspect that will make various display issues work a little more smoothly.

                Like every other release? The only difference from an advanced user point of view is more updated packages and thus better hardware support.

                  They made quantal and raring kernel/Xorg packages available for 12.04 LTS, and i think they come already with newer "point" releases. Search for packages with "quantal" or "raring" (ie. linux-image-generic-lts-quantal).

                    this is by far the best release canonical ever did.

                    stable, decent, etc...

                    only thing that lacks is aesthetics fucking unity with gnome icons looks ugly as sin
