The development of the Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) operating system continues at a fast pace, and we can see more and more software updates arriving every single day in its official software repositories.

Now, you might have noticed the other day on the OMG! Ubuntu website that there's a new default wallpaper incoming to Ubuntu 16.10, as they had the privilege to reveal it first and let you download the image at full resolution if you want to use it on your current Ubuntu Linux installation or any other OS for that matter.

We're always monitoring the development of the next major release of Ubuntu, and starting today, September 10, 2016, the default wallpaper of Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) has been changed as a new ubuntu-wallpapers package, version 16.10.0, arrived in the stable update channels of the upcoming GNU/Linux distribution.

As expected, the wallpaper is available in two variants, the default orange one that you usually see when you first boot into a live Ubuntu session, as well as a silver one in case you want to use the Radiance desktop theme instead of the default Ambiance one for which the first wallpaper variant is designed.

Talking about design, not much has changed since the default wallpaper of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), which was used until today on the upcoming Ubuntu 16.10 release, and we have all the reasons to believe that the first thing you'll do after installing the Yakkety Yak release is to add your amazing wallpapers.

Below, we've attached a few screenshots to see the new default wallpaper of Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) in action, with both variants. In the meantime, Canonical works on rebasing the upcoming OS on the soon-to-be-released Linux 4.8 kernel, as well as to bring you all the latest software versions before the launch of the Final Beta on September 22, 2016.
