Ubuntu 19.04 ‘Disco Dingo’

64-bit

We were just in time to miss getting Ubuntu 19.04 on the disc last month, but better late than never, eh? There was a time when we’d make the cover more orange than the Netherlands on King’s Day whenever a new Ubuntu release hit the mirrors, but these days our celebrations are more tempered. The LTS releases are still a big deal, so expect to see lots of orange in our May 2020 issue. Since those long-term releases are shaped by these interstitial ones, they should definitely not be ignored. With that in mind, we’ve extended our DVD pages slightly to give you a glimpse into what’s new and what the ‘Disco Dingo’ can do for you.
