Ubuntu 20.10 Review

Just over a week ago Canonical pushed out their latest version of Ubuntu which was accompanied by seven official community editions. The new 20.10 release features version 5.8 of the Linux kernel and the main desktop edition runs GNOME 3.38. Developers and tinkerers will be happy to learn Ubuntu 20.10 includes version 10 of the GNU Compiler Collection and can run on Raspberry Pi 4 computers. This release also includes the ability to connect to Active Directory domains at install time and features nftables as the default firewall backend which replaces iptables. Ubuntu 20.10 receives a mere nine months of support and security updates, making it a better platform for testers and enthusiasts rather than people who need a stable, long-term support operating system.
