For most operating system vendors, having a distinctive look for the operating system is important in establishing their brand.
With that in mind, Canonical hosted a design sprint in January with members of the Yaru community team, Ubuntu desktop and design teams.
Yaru was first introduced in Ubuntu 18.10, so if you are upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, this will be the first time you are going to see this bold, new, and unmistakably Ubuntu, look.
Ubuntu checks defaults integrity of the medium in use when booting into live sessions. This can be skipped by hitting Ctrl-C. Ubuntu enabled this because failed installs due to corrupt downloads of installation media is one of the most common error conditions that users encounter.
Available apps on Ubuntu
Ubuntu Desktop integrates with Google G Suite or Microsoft Exchange, and also supports open standards that allow users to avoid vendor lock-in. To that end, we’re shipping Firefox 75 as the default web browser, which continues to deliver new privacy-focused features.
Thunderbird is a popular email application, providing fast desktop access to your email. No matter which email services you use; Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, POP or IMAP, email just works. You’ll find Thunderbird 68.7.0 in this release of Ubuntu.
GNOME Shell Launch using Dedicated Graphics Thunderbird is a popular email application, providing fast desktop access to your email. No matter which email services you use; Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, POP or IMAP, email just works. You’ll find Thunderbird 68.7.0 in this release of Ubuntu.
Many devices are now available with fingerprint readers, and this has become a natural way to unlock the user session. However, the Linux support for such devices has been typically poor in recent years.
Together with the libfprint project, Ubuntu have improved the back end and the UI making it possible for the hardware vendors to support new bio-metric devices easily.
Computing & gaming
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are a new class of data engineering, and adoption in the enterprise is exploding.
Ubuntu is powering the AI ambitions for enterprises from developer workstations to racks, to clouds and to the edge.
Ubuntu Desktop accelerates data science, on laptops and workstations, by providing the latest tools, drivers and libraries.
Data scientists can develop their AI models on high-end Ubuntu workstations using Kubeflow before training on racks of bare-metal Kubernetes or public clouds with hardware acceleration.
If you use your GPU and recreation, then here are a few features that you’ll appreciate. Although i386 (32-bit Intel) is no longer a release architecture, Ubuntu preserves a collection of 32-bit Intel libraries to satisfy Steam, Wine, Lutris requirements, as well as a large back catalogue of classic games and applications.
The Steam package in Ubuntu has also been updated for 20.04 LTS and now supports a broad range of controllers and VR devices.
Feral Interactive’s GameMode performance tool is installed by default. GameMode is a daemon that allows games to request a set of optimisations be temporarily applied to the host OS and/or a game process. Currently, GameMode provides optimisations for CPU governor, I/O priority, process niceness, kernel scheduler, screensaver inhibiting, GPU performance mode (NVIDIA and AMD), GPU overclocking (NVIDIA) and custom scripts.
Those of you with hybrid graphics are now able to launch applications using the discrete GPU from within GNOME Shell, via the ‘Launch on Discrete GPU’ menu item. This works both for AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
For live streamers and video creators, you’ll find that FFmpeg supports nvenc and VA-API. These are features found in GPUs that perform decoding, encoding or filtering to offload these compute-intensive tasks from the CPU.
