The development of the Lubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) distribution continues and today we can get an early taste of what’s coming in the final release of the lightweight GNU/Linux operating system, which should launch along with the rest of the Ubuntu flavors on October 13, 2016. Although the Lubuntu team announced a few weeks ago that they are planning and working hard on migrating the desktop environment of Lubuntu 16.10 to the modern, next-generation LXQt graphical interface, this first Beta build still ships with LXDE. Additonally, Lubuntu 16.10 Beta 1 is powered by the same Linux 4.4 LTS kernel from Lubuntu 16.04 LTS.
