Apple has multi-touch technology. Microsoft’s Windows 7 also supports multi-touch. What about Linux, especially Ubuntu, which is touted as the “mainstream Linux”? Well, the news is out. The next version of Ubuntu – Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick will come with uTouch 1.0, the multi-touch and gesture stack for Linux platform.
uTouch 1.0 will be included in all iteration of Ubuntu Maverick, including the desktop and netbook edition.
With the release of the gesture API, it is now the developer’s jobs to bring multi-touch application to the platform. The future looks good for Ubuntu, what do you think?
