Elementary 5.0 "Juno" will be based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

There are many official flavors within Ubuntu, but there are also many distributions that use Ubuntu as the basis for their operating system. One of these distributions, Elementary OS, recently announced that Elementary 5.0 "Juno" will be based on the next big version of Ubuntu, that is, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Elementary OS is a distribution that is based on Ubuntu and that seeks to offer the same aesthetics and functionality as macOS, the operating system so characteristic of Apple and its computers. But all this seasoned with Free Software.

The next version of Elementary OS will not follow the usual numbering but it will not imply any change for the user who already uses it, since from Elementary 0.4 they will go to Elementary 5.0. If you will notice changes when you really have the new version installed then great changes and news are expected that Elementary OS does not currently have since Ubuntu 18.04 will have big changes with respect to the version that is used in Elementary OS 0.4.

With the new base, we also have an approximation to the release date. If you will have an Ubuntu 18.04 base, It will not be before April 26 when we can have this new version of Elementary OS. What's more, the project leader, Cassidy James Blaede, has indicated that there will be neither a development schedule nor a deadline. When it will come out, it will come out. That is, users will receive this new version but there will be no approximate release date. Of course, there will be a beta version that will be announced along with the next news for Elementary 5.0 "Juno."

It is positive to know that many projects continue to use Ubuntu as a base, since the latest news related to the distribution did not predict a very good continuity, but having happened this means that the distribution is in very good health and has a good future. Also for Elementary 5.0 "Juno", a future that will bring pleasant surprises to its users.
