Available from today the new Ubuntu Long Term Support version, also known as Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa. This solution implements important new features, continuing with the Eoan Ermine solutions developed 6 months ago. GNOME 3.36 new features have been included and the ZFS system as root has also been included, but in this case with certain limitations.
Additionally, the new operating system kernel, which is based on Linux 5.4, has also been implemented. The improvement over Linux 5.3 called Eoan Ermine are minimal, making use of LTS versions, something common for Canonical. It should be noted that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will have support for the next 5 years.
