The Ubuntu Kylin 15.04 Beta 1 (Vivid Vervet) operating system has also been released alongside the Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, and Ubuntu MATE distributions, bringing a wide range of improvements, numerous updated components, as well as the usual bug fixes. We took the distribution for a test drive and created a nice screenshot tour for all users of the Chinese Ubuntu community.

In Ubuntu Kylin 15.04 Beta 1, we can see that the Locally-Integrated Menu (LIM) and the “Click to Minimize” functions have been enabled by default, allowing Windows users to more easily adapt to the beautiful Unity user interface of the Ubuntu Linux operating system. In addition, the Sogou Pinyin component was updated to version 1.2, but didn’t make it into the ISO images of Ubuntu Kylin 15.04 Beta 1, so you’ll have to install it manually.

“We are glad to announce the Release of Ubuntu Kylin 15.04 (codename Vivid Vervet) Beta 1. In this pre-release, we have fixed many internationalization and localization bugs in Ubuntu itself and bugs in software written by the Ubuntu Kylin team. All the work that Ubuntu Kylin team do is within the Ubuntu community and ecosystem and as such they are flowed back to Ubuntu itself naturally and everyone using Ubuntu can benefit the result of our work,” was stated in the announcement.

Numerous internal components have been updated, including Ubuntu Kylin Software Center and the Unity China Music Scope

The first Beta of the forthcoming Ubuntu Kylin 15.04 (codename Vivid Vervet) updates Youker Assistant to version 2.0.0, Ubuntu Kylin Software Center to version 1.3.0, and the Ubuntu Kylin theme to version 1.2.1. Moreover, it also brings the Ubuntu Kylin Default Settings to version 1.3.5, updates the Chinese Calendar to version 1.0.1, and Unity China Music Scope to version 1.0.7.
