New in Focal Fossa: Ubuntu 20.04 shows your computer logo on startup

At the beginning of this month, we thought it was not enough for an article, we published an image on Twitter (here) in which we mentioned that the Focal Fossa boot screen had changed. It was no longer the purple screen with the charging points moving. It is now a black screen, with the name of the operating system at the bottom and a three-part circle moving. What we did not know is that the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS boot He had another surprise for us.

It is also logical: as far as I know, none of the editors of Ubunlog has installed by default and native Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa, so we had not seen a novelty like this that does not appear in software virtual machines like VirtualBox. But the user community is very large and @KivenGaming published the tweet that you have below these lines mentioning OMG! Free!, a medium that has been in charge of carrying out the pertinent tests and disseminating the news.

Ubuntu 20.04 boot is no longer purple

The symbol that appears will be different depending on the computer we use. That Canonical had moved the operating system name made sense: at the top it should OEM logo appear (Original Equipment Manufacturer) while starting the operating system. It is a change that many users will surely like, but we will hate others who do not like the OEM logo of our team at all. And I also have a Lenovo like Joey Sneddon's and I could say that I hate that image.

In order to see this change, the operating system has to be installed native, so many of you will still have to wait to enjoy it or suffer it. The Ubuntu 20.04 LTS release Focal Fossa is scheduled for April 23 And, as we will publish in another article, it seems that the date will not move despite the Coronavirus.
