Ubuntu has dropped a plan to enable by default an interface with fancy 3D graphics for its upcoming Feisty Fawn version due April 19.

The Linux version generally shuns proprietary software, permitting it only when necessary to provide "sufficient hardware support" such as wireless networking support, and the proprietary video drivers necessary for the glitzy interface are justifiable under this exception, according to an Ubuntu Technical Board decision posted Tuesday and reported by Linux.com.
