Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa Daily Build Now Available, But Better Wait

Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa Daily Build

Right after the launch of a new version of Ubuntu, and if nothing strange happens, Canonical makes the Daily Builds of the next version available to anyone who wants to test them. But let no one think that he will be able to use Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa six months in advance; what they launch is basically an older version (Eoan Ermine) on which they begin to work to introduce all the changes that will arrive in April 2020.

In addition, what we can download right now is not even available in the "Current" section of Canonical's FTP server, but is in the "Pending" section, so the launch is not official yet, if we can talk about the official launch of a version that they make available to us half a year before the stable version. We can talk about the official Daily Build when they go to the «Current» section, but right now we can download it from this link.

Ubuntu 20.04 Daily Build is basically Eoan Ermine

As we have already explained, what we get if we download the first Focal Fossa ISO image will be basically Ubuntu 19.10, the version they released last Thursday. This means that it is not worth it unless it is used in equipment that we have for testing or in a virtual machine, but the most important news will still take weeks to arrive. In fact, if we download it and start messing with it, the only thing that makes us think that we are in Focal Fossa is the name that appears in the "Details" section of the "Settings" app, but the number will not appear (20.04/XNUMX ) until the stable version is released.

Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa it will be the next LTS version of the operating system developed by Canonical. Will arrive with the full support for ZFS as root as one of the most outstanding new features, but also with other improvements such as GNOME 3.36 and some that we will discover in the next six months. Its official launch will be on April 23, 2020.
