Ubuntu GNOME tries to bring a pure GNOME experience in the Ubuntu "family". It uses GNOME Shell by default and this release ships with a combination of GNOME 3.10 and 3.12.

Changes in Ubuntu GNOME 14.10:

  • many GNOME components, like GNOME Shell, GTK+, GNOME Control Center, etc. have been updated to version 3.12 which brings improvements (compared to 3.10, available in Ubuntu 14.04) such as:
    • proper HiDPI support;
    • improved network menus;
    • Jumplists (also known as Quicklists in Unity) support;
    • a geolocation indicator was added to the status menu
    • refined animations;
    • window previews are now keyboard navigable;
    • allow specifying monitor for OSD;
    • GNOME Online accounts has better Facebook and Google support and also, it now supports Pocket (a web service that lets you save videos, articles and pretty much anything from the browser for later use)
    • Google Cloud print support;
    • updated Adwaita GTK theme: new style for tabs and buttons, etc.;
    • GTK 3.12 introduces restyled tabs and "popovers", an overlayed bubble interface element;
    • for more information, see our GNOME 3.12 article (but keep in mind that some apps, like Nautilus, Totem or Gedit are still at version 3.10.x).
  • GNOME Maps (3.12.2) and GNOME Weather (3.12.1) are now installed by default.
