Ubuntu 20.04 will be released in early 2020 with the name Focal Fossa

Ubuntu follows the release cycle of the new version twice a year, with one released in April and the other released in October, accompanied by many important improvements. The 2020 version will be Ubuntu 20.04 with the Focal Fossa identifier, which is expected to be released to global users starting April 23 next year.

The codename of the official Ubuntu updates is chosen in alphabetical order, and is made up of 2 words, the first word is adjective and the second word will be noun, which is specific here as a certain animal is in danger of extinction, or sometimes mythical creatures such as Unicorns or Werewolfs (Wolves).

Eoan Ermine is the codename of Ubuntu 19.10 with the letter E, so Ubuntu 20.04 will be coded with an opening letter 'F.' In the Eoan Ermine word, 'Eoan' means "related to the dawn or the east", and Ermine is a rather cute little weasel in danger of extinction. Similarly, we have the Focala version of April 2020 with the word 'Focal' meaning 'necessary' and the Fossa is a carnivore that looks like a lynx, which can only be seen now. in Madagascar.

This is an interesting and unique code naming that only Ubuntu applies, giving users a sense of both curiosity and memorable.

However, the code names of Ubuntu releases sometimes reveal some of the characteristics of the releases. Ubuntu 20.04 will not only be an important release (with long term service), but also contain the strengths commonly found in Fossa species such as flexibility, agility and dominance.

In short, Ubuntu 20.04 is the LTS version, so the main focus of this release will be to bring stability and reliability to users. Focal Fossa will certainly come with lots of improvements, bug fixes, and especially new features. Let's wait and see!
