Ubuntu MATE 19.10

Continuing with the round of articles on Eoan Ermine, now it is the turn of Ubuntu MATE 19.10. I have to admit that I am tempted to use it as native, but the temptation passes when I remember that Kubuntu covers all my needs and much more. And is that the MATE version of Ubuntu is basically what I started using thirteen years ago and what I was using when Canonical decided to adopt Unity as a graphical environment.

At the time of writing this article, the Ubuntu MATE 19.10 release Eoan Ermine it's not 100% official. To do so, they have yet to update their website, adding the ability to download the new ISO image, and advertise it in some way.

    About Kubuntu.
    “Support for ZFS as root on install came too late in the Eoan cycle to deploy and test it on the Ubiquity KDE front end. This option is a target for the 20.04 LTS release. "

    Hello good.

    I have recently been an Ubuntu user, and the first choice was MATE 19.10.

    Now with the 20.04LTS output I would like to update Ubuntu, but I don't know if this can be done directly from the terminal

    A greeting.
