AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards will be added, and the progress will be later.
5. Improve free Wifi connection
When you go out to work, you often need to connect to free WiFi in coffee shops, airports, etc. The new version of the system will support the captive portal system, making it easier to connect to WiFi.
Six, Bluetooth and audio
In the GNOME desktop environment, the upper limit of 100% volume cannot be broken through the keyboard. The Ubuntu system can break through the limitations of the physical keyboard. After adopting Gnome as the default desktop, the 17.10 development team will also solve this problem.
The stability and usability of Bluetooth speaker device connection are improved. For example, you can use Bluetooth speaker devices before logging in to the system. For those who need a screen reader, this feature will improve the experience of using the system.
