Ubuntu is releasing a new version of the OS at 6 months. I have installed the beta version of 18.10 before release to test it out and I can say I like it a lot. The new version is coming with an improved UI newer apps and less memory used by the Gnome interface.
New futures in Ubuntu 18.10:
- New Default Theme: Yaru and Icons
- GNOME 3.30
- Improved Boot time and Performance
- Better battery life for laptops
- Support for fingerprint scanner
- DLNA Support

For me, Ubuntu is starting to look more and more beautiful and it can be taken into consideration as a Windows alternative.
