Unfortunate decision to stop supporting i686. There are still a lot of laptops with amd64 compatible cpu around where the bios restricts to running 32 bits. Those will be forced to another distro.

Too bad Gnome quality control is shit and the desktop is broken on multihead setups using Wayland... (Desktop crashes on display suspend.) It won't be fixed until 3.26.2 based on what I've heard. Basically Ubuntu is gonna upset many people with their ventures in unstable software. Gnome 3.26 has been the worst release in a long time IMO, having been a dedicated Gnome user since the advent of 3.0.Last edited by curfew; 19 October 2017, 03:37 AM.

The only 64bit devices restricted to 32 bit were some Atoms in tablets but that was worked around too and you can boot a 64bit Linux from a 32-bit UEFI.

Good to see that they didn't lose their special touch for that.

I've been running the daily build for a while and it is really nice.
I've been looking forward to Wayland for a very long time but I still run the X.Org session because it works better.
The Wayland have problems with window placement/positioning, and lacks animation on Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right, etc.
Also only the GNOME applications run natively on Wayland. Other things such as Firefox, Chrome and all Electron-based applications (such as Atom, Spotify, VS Code, etc) all run via XWayland.

I've also experienced crashed with GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 17.10 but I got rid of them by disabling extensions in GNOME Tweaks.
