Tomorrow, 21/04/2016, sees the release of Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) Final -- for which I've been very excited about!
The last release desktop release I used was 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) with the older Linux 3.19 kernel. 16.04 comes with 4.4, along with Unity 7.4 -- disappointing yet understandable that Unity 8 wasn't included given that this is a LTS release.
Sad to see Ubuntu Software Center go - I always liked it, it did everything I asked of it. Similarly, I'm excited to see what's in store with its replacement - GNOME Software

Anyone else planning to take a look?
I'll be sure to post back here tomorrow when I've updated with some screenshots and any other thoughts!
(No idea if there's any Ubuntu and/or Linux fans here, but I figured it'd be fun to find out!)
