Today's Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha 1 release for opt-in flavors brought us previews of the upcoming Kubuntu 17.10, Lubuntu 17.10, and Ubuntu Kylin 17.10 operating systems.

In the last several weeks, Lubuntu maintainer Simon Quigley kept us up-to-date with the development of the Lubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) operating system, which appears to be the first release shipping with separate LXDE and LXQt editions, the latter being dubbed as "Lubuntu Next."

Powered by Linux kernel 4.10, X.Org Server 1.19.3, Mesa 17.1.2, and systemd 233, the first Alpha build of Lubuntu 17.10 and Lubuntu Next 17.10 is here to give users a sneak peek at what's coming to the final release, which is hitting the streets later this year on October 19, 2017, along with the rest of the official Ubuntu 17.10 flavors.
