14 DAY TRIAL // Canonical just kicked off the development cycle of the next release of their widely-used Linux-based operating system, Ubuntu 19.10, allowing testers and early adopters to download daily build ISO images.
While the Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) just hit the streets at the end of last week, Canonical's Ubuntu team are already working on the next release, Ubuntu 19.10, which doesn't have a codename at the moment of writing, but we do know that it will be an "Eoan" animal that start with the letter E.
Until Canonical decided to give Ubuntu 19.10 a proper codename, early adopters and testers can now download the daily build ISO images, which are available for Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server, as well as the official flavors, including Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Kylin.
Of course, you shouldn't expect much from these early daily build ISO images, as they're based on the previous release, in this case Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo). Therefore, the Ubuntu 19.10 daily builds shipped with the Linux 5.0 kernel and the latest GNOME 3.32 desktop environment.
Ubuntu 19.10 will be released in October 2019
Ubuntu 19.10 doesn't yet have a release schedule, but we already know that Canonical is sticking to the current one, meaning that users will only get a beta release during the entire development cycle, until the final release, which is expected to hit the streets sometime in October 2019.
Until then, we're eagerly waiting for Canonical to reveal the full codename of Ubuntu 19.10 along with its new features and enhancements. One thing we know, Ubuntu 19.10 will ship with the upcoming GNOME 3.34 desktop environment that recently entered development, as well as all the latest applications and GNU/Linux technologies.
