Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 is the first release of the flavor to ship with an up-to-date GNOME Stack, based on the recently released GNOME 3.24 desktop environment, which is a major update introducing numerous novelties, such as Night Light, a cool feature to protect your eyes by automatically reducing the blue light emitted by your computer’s screen. Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 comes with Flatpak support installed by default in case you want to use certain apps packaged as Flatpaks, and it also includes chrome-gnome-shell, which provides GNOME Shell integration for the Google Chrome web browser. Additionally, the Tracker search indexing engine is now sandboxed.
