Ubuntu comes with a mega update: “Focal Fossa” can
The popular Linux Ubuntu operating system launched this week with a new mega update. There will be updates for “Focal Fossa” until 2025.
If anyone wants to switch from Windows or Mac to Linux, Ubuntu is often recommended on the forums. For good reason: In terms of features, looks, and support, it provides something similar to that of the big competition from Microsoft and Apple.
Recently the Ubuntu version 20.04 “Focal Fossa” published. This was announced by the British computer company Canonical, which supports the development of the Linux operating system. The latest version is again a long-term support variant (LTS), for which there will be updates for the next five years.
That is new
According to the manufacturer, the latest version focused on improvements related to Security and performance. Surface changes should be interesting to the average user: The new operating system should react faster with the new desktop surface, support multiple monitors, and have a light and a “dark” mode.
On the other hand, they said goodbye to the so-called “Amazon Web Launcher”. Canonical introduced it in 2012, allowing it to install web applications and perform web searches. This caused disgust among many staunch Ubuntu users.
Test without installation
Ubuntu has become very popular in recent years because users can test the operating system without installation. Those interested only had to load the so-called “image file” on a USB memory and restart the computer.
This will also be possible with version 20.04. Ubuntu posted instructions on the website. At least a 2 GHz dual-core processor and four gigabytes of RAM are required. (hole)
