Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" has reached End Of Life (EOL) stage at Friday 20 July 2017. This means the users won't receive official security updates from Canonical anymore. This leaves Yakkety users at least two choices, to stay at Yakkety (with using old-release repo) or to upgrade to 17.04 Zesty Zapus (by upgrading). This article explains shortly those two choices.

This article is about upgrading GNOME Calendar, if you want to import iCalendar .ics file to it, then read here. 

This article explains step by step how to upgrade GNOME Calendar to 3.22.1 in Ubuntu 16.10, 16.04, and 14.04 using GNOME3 Staging PPA. For your information, even in the latest stable Ubuntu 16.10 we have only the version 3.20 for GNOME Calendar. We can get the latest version by external repository, and that is what the PPA for. This article is written at 3 December 2016 with 3.22.1 version, so next time you may encounter this PPA version changed up to its maintainer.

Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak desktop version is released today October 13th 2016. It is a regular release, supported for 9 months (until July 2017), bringing dual desktop environments, Unity 7 and Unity 8. This review covers 9 points, mainly about Ubuntu Yakkety bringing the new desktop environment Unity 8 on top of the new Mir Display Server plus many information you may find useful. Yakkety includes Unity 8 as a testing purpose, so every user can feel how Unity 8 is at a glance. Overall, this new Ubuntu release is already suitable for desktop use (Unity 7 only) but really not suitable for low-RAM computers. I hope this review helps everyone a lot.
