Martin Wimpress proudly announced a few moments ago the availability of the Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS operating system for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B single-board computers, an optimized build that features the latest stable MATE 1.16.1 desktop environment and supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on the Raspberry Pi 3. Optimized components included in Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 are various file system features, automated first boot partition resizing, and partition offset calculations. It also looks like unnecessary services have been disabled for better CPU and RAM efficiency.
