Just want to say thanks to the entire Ubuntu desktop team at Canonical as well as the workers behind GNOME, I really think this release is going to be something special.
Thanks for being such an awesome community, hope you enjoy, and of course, have a great weekend!
I have exact the same experience. Started the use Ubuntu 8.04 in dual boot with a very slow Windows Vista, partly due to the lousy performance of Windows Vista 32-bits, partly due to the very slow 160GB HDD in my Dell Inspiron 1521. Changing the HDD to a Samsung 320GB HDD and installing the service packs made Vista quite acceptable, but it was too late. After retirement at 1-1-2011, I completely switched to Ubuntu.
The last LTS release of Ubuntu I used was 16.04 and I still use it in a VM, but exclusively for banking and paypall.
Currently I’m back at Ubuntu 19.10 (minimal install), but as Host OS for Virtualbox running on ZFS. I moved all my activities to VMs and for VMs I use: Xubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu Mate 19.10, Windows XP and Windows 10. I also have 6 Ubuntu 20.04 family members in VMs and for vanilla Ubuntu I have three VMs, one for ext4, one for zfs and one to investigate the installer… The coming month I will have to rearrange the Linux VMs and maybe I replace Windows Media Player 11 in XP with Lollypop and some Ubuntu flavor.
I’m proud of the Conky read out with my 3 ZFS datapools with their corresponding datasets. Also see the size and hit-rate of the L1ARC cache in rose.
I’m exited about the new facilities that might become available for ZFS on Ubuntu 20.04. Yesterday the 27th I did see the first auto snapshots and I tried some of the new zsysctl commands.
