Blast off with Linux
Solid foundations
Start 2021 off on the right foot with a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, codename Focal Fossa.
You might have already fired the coverdisc and seen what Ubuntu 20.04 has to offer. If not then you should. Hardware compatibility has never been better, the Gnome desktop is in tiptop shape and thanks to Snaps it’s easy to install the latest versions of popular applications. You might already be running Ubuntu and know all this, or using another distro, but we’ve still got some tips for you. Unless you’re wanting to re-install though, in which case you should probably skip on over the page.
Whether you’re new to Linux or a long-time user, it’s always nice to start fresh and from a solid foundation. It’s no fun when your home directory fills up and you run out of disk space and can’t log in. And it’s tedious to have to convert a weighty ext4 volume to Btrfs because you want CoW snapshots, too. By setting up an appropriate partition scheme and filesystems at the outset, things are made more simple and scalable.
