Canonical just launched a new version of Ubuntu 19.04. So What is New?

-

Probably the most important feature of Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) is the fact that is ships with the latest Linux 5.0 kernel series, which enables support for recent hardware components like AMD Radeon RX Vega M GPUs, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, as well as Intel Cannon Lake graphics.

Linux kernel 5.0 also adds significant USB 3.2 and Type-C, and power-savings improvements, along with KVM support for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization, support for the P-State driver for Skylake X servers, support for memory protection keys on POWER architectures, and zcrypt support on IBM Z systems.

Another key feature of the Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) release is the latest GNOME 3.32 desktop environment, which brings smoother startup animations, higher frame rates, reduced CPU and GPU load, fractional scaling for HiDPI/4K screens in both X.Org Server and Wayland sessions, as well as desktop integrated with VMWare for bi-directional clipboard and file sharing.

The only problem is that Facebook may already be unstoppable. Facebook has much to cheer about. As has become increasingly clear, the public no longer seems to care about their digital privacy or security. Despite breach after breach after breach after breach, users aren’t leaving and aren’t demanding any changes to the company’s business ...

I ntel's consternation with its 10nm manufacturing process is well documented but on its Q1 earnings call yesterday, the Santa Clara chip giant painted a more positive picture on the ramp-up of its forthcoming Ice Lake processor for mobile client systems, dubbed Ice Lake-U. While many media outlets have been reporting that Intel's 10nm product wouldn't ship in meaningful volume this year, Intel CEO Bob Swan offered commentary that production output of Ice Lake has nearly doubled in the past few months.
