Ars Technica: Ubuntu 23.10 is a Minotaur that moves faster and takes up less space

Ars Technica: Ubuntu 23.10 is a Minotaur that moves faster and takes up less space. “Ubuntu 23.10, codenamed Mantic Minotaur, is the 39th Ubuntu release, and it’s one of the three smaller interim releases Canonical puts out between long-term support (LTS) versions. This last interim before the next LTS doesn’t stand out with bold features you can identify at a glance. But it does set up some useful options and upgrades that should persist in Ubuntu for some time.”

BetaNews: Official how to switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Linux tutorial now available

BetaNews: Official how to switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Linux tutorial now available. “Understandably, many people are scared of Windows 10 — Microsoft’s data collection through extreme telemetry can make it feel like your own computer is spying on you. In that case, a Linux-based operating system should be considered. Today, Canonical releases an official guide for those thinking of switching to Ubuntu from Windows 7. Not only does the guide address potential hardware incompatibilities, but it provides a handy list of popular Windows software and its comparable Linux alternatives.”

Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast, like “make old hardware feel new” fast (Ars Technica)

Ars Technica: Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast, like “make old hardware feel new” fast. “Leaves are turning. Temperatures have dipped. These are sure signs—if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, at least—that Canonical’s Autumn release is upon us. Things are a bit different in 2019, however. Not only is Ubuntu 19.10 nicknamed Eoan Ermine (no, I don’t know how you pronounce it either), but it’s the best non-LTS Ubuntu release Canonical has ever put out.”

The Register: This fall, Ubuntu 19.10 stars as Eoan Ermine in… Dawn of the Stoats

The Register: This fall, Ubuntu 19.10 stars as Eoan Ermine in… Dawn of the Stoats. “Canonical has released Ubuntu 19.10, codenamed Eoan Ermine for some reason. Ubuntu 19.10 is only supported until July 2020. The next LTS (Long Term Support) release will be 20.04 next year. Businesses using Ubuntu in production may prefer to wait for 20.04, for which 19.10 serves as a useful preview.”

Ubuntu Linux: Ubuntu Linux 19.10 ‘Eoan Ermine’ Beta available for download

BetaNews: Ubuntu Linux 19.10 ‘Eoan Ermine’ Beta available for download. “Today, Canonical releases the official beta for the upcoming Ubuntu Linux 19.10. Code-named ‘Eoan Ermine,’ it features Linux kernel 5.3. There are several great desktop environments from which to choose too, such as KDE Plasma, Budgie, and the default GNOME. Ubuntu 19.10 is not a long term support (LTS) version, sadly, so support for the stable release will only be a mere 9 months.” I hope Ubuntu releases a version one day called “Pronounceable Panda”.

Neowin: Canonical’s next Ubuntu release is called Eoan Ermine

Neowin: Canonical’s next Ubuntu release is called Eoan Ermine. “Following the release of Ubuntu 19.04 last month, we found out that the upcoming Ubuntu 19.10 codename begins with the word Eoan which is an adjective defined as ‘of, or relating to, the dawn’. Since then, followers of the popular Linux distribution have been waiting to see what noun would be picked for the codename, and now we have it – Ermine.”

BetaNews: Ubuntu Linux 19.04 ‘Disco Dingo’ is finally available for download

BetaNews: Ubuntu Linux 19.04 ‘Disco Dingo’ is finally available for download. “Today, Linux users around the world should celebrate, as Ubuntu 19.04 ‘Disco Dingo’ is finally here! Following the Beta release, the stable version is now available for download. Keep in mind, version 19.04 is not LTS (Long Term Support), meaning it is only supported until January 2020.” Eight months or so? I think I’ll stick to the LTS releases.
