14 DAY TRIAL // The Xubuntu team has announced earlier the winners of the Xubuntu 16.04 wallpaper contest that took place over the last few weeks, which basically means that they've revealed the default wallpapers for the Xenial release.

"Before we go into the results, we want to thank everyone who contributed to the competition! In total we had 92 submissions, which is over 10% more than for the 14.04 competition. Great work!" reads the announcement. "While we originally announced that we would be picking 6 winners, we eventually decided to pick a total of 10 winners."
Xubuntu 16.04 will be an LTS release supported for three years
As you probably are already aware, the highly anticipated Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system is launching in two days at the moment of writing this article, on Thursday, April 21, 2016, along with all of its official flavors, among which there's the lightweight Xubuntu Linux distribution.
Xubuntu 16.04 will also be an LTS (Long Term Support) release, but it will follow the short-LTS cycle, which means that users will receive software updates and security patches for a period of three years from its April 21, 2016 launch, as confirmed by project maintainer Simon Steinbeiss.
See you, guys, again in two days for the official unveiling of the Xubuntu 16.04 LTS, where we will tell you everything there is to know about its new features. And, of course, to download the ISO images and install the operating system on your personal computers, if you're not upgrading from Xubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) or Xubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), that is.
