Ubuntu Linux system support for tablets released

According to the US technology blog TNW, the well-known Linux vendor Canonical today released and demonstrated a new Ubuntu Linux operating system that supports tablets.
It is understood that Canonical's Ubuntu system interface will support both tablet and smartphone display. Users can display the interface settings through the function called “side stage”, which is similar to Windows 8, for vertical screen applications. Say, another app will appear on the right hand side of the user.
The system is only a multi-user home screen entry, and also contains a "guest mode", the user's friends or family can browse the content of the tablet through this mode, the application in the tablet is hidden in the left edge of the In the pane, this design is the same as the Ubuntu mobile version. In the process of using the tablet, just swipe the left edge to see the installed application, and also search the application.
In addition, the system interface allows users to switch applications by gestures. This function supports the system's own applications and running web applications. At the same time, “share” is also the standard service of the system, including Twitter and Facebook. Main social networks like Pinterest.
At the same time, Canonical also announced today that the new Ubuntu Developer Preview will be officially launched on February 21, when the company will release Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 Ubuntu system installation instructions.



involved in the Tablet PC market for Canonical and their operating systems are very bold move, mostly outside of this decision Canonical expressed surprise, in January this year, the company announced A new operating system and related development tools for mobile platforms are being developed, so it is expected that Canonical will expand from mobile platforms to tablets.

While Canonical's ambitions don't seem to be limited to this, the company is currently working on its own operating system on all possible devices, including servers, desktops, laptops, tablets. Computers, smartphones, TVs, etc. Today, I want to make my products cover a small number of companies in the field of "all devices". In addition to the powerful Microsoft, Apple is barely a family.
Microsoft is currently building a new ecosystem around the Windows operating system, and the Xbox game console is likely to be the next one to be pushed to the dominoes. Of course, the reason why Microsoft dares to do this is because It has a huge market share in the general consumer and enterprise computing field. In contrast, Canonical has a significant gap with Microsoft despite the OEM agreement with Dell.
