Ubuntu 20.10 - Groovy Gorilla

Ubuntu 20.10

It’s late October, and this means that another X.10 release of Ubuntu has just arrived: Ubuntu 20.10 - Groovy Gorilla - is now available for download. I have downloaded the desktop image just to have a look at the live CD - feels snappy and looks good:

Just like any other X.10 release, this is a short term support - meaning it will only be supported until July 2021.

Ubuntu 20.10 Improvements

• customary software updates
  • Linux Kernel is now 5.8.0-25
• nftables is now the default packet filter (replacing iptables)
• Raspberry Pi 4 is now officially supported - meaning there’s a purpose built ISO image
