Along with the release of the Ubuntu 17.04 and Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 operating systems, the Ubuntu Kylin 17.04 official flavor also launched today, April 13, 2017.

Ubuntu Kylin 17.04 is a major release of the flavor designed for Chinese-speaking users as it’s the first to drop the Unity interface, which will also be removed from the main Ubuntu variant starting with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and replaces it with an in-house designed desktop environment called UKUI, based on the MATE desktop.

“We are glad to announce the Release of Ubuntu Kylin 17.04 (codename Zesty Zapus), and in this release, the most worth expected part is that we launch the new desktop environment – UKUI, which provides a simpler and more enjoyable experience for browsing, searching, and managing your computer,” said the devs.
