elementary OS 6 will be based on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, but no release date scheduled yet

elementary OS 6

A long time ago, when I was looking for the perfect Linux distribution for me, one of the ones I liked the most was elementary OS. That is why, although I have always ended up using official Ubuntu flavors, I feel something special with every news about this beautiful layout. The last one is related to his next major release, a elementary OS 6 which will be based on the next LTS version of Ubuntu and should arrive sometime this year.

So they have made it known in an article published in which they tell us about the achievements made in 2019 and what they have prepared for this 2020. It is already confirmed that elementary OS 6 will be based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa, but the release date is yet to be confirmed. They say their releases are "When It's Ready ™" (when available), but it's the first thing they've written about what to expect for the year we've just started.

elementary OS 6 is coming sometime in 2020

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is due out this year, and later we plan to release elementary OS 6 with a 20.04 base. We've started some of the underlying work to migrate and build against newer libraries, but much of that work is yet to come..

Before the launch of elementary OS 6 they still have aspects in which to improve and these news would come in a supposed version to correct errors that would still be part of elementary OS 5. Among what they have to improve we have prepare the system for Wayland, improve elementary OS customization by allowing us to create user-defined color palettes or launch dark mode. They also have to improve gesture support and have started work on improving these gestures in the application menu.

elementary OS 6 should arrive sometime in 2020But you will have to be patient because their team of developers do not like to rush and will only release the operating system when they know that everything works perfectly.
