Starting yesterday, Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine is released, finally, as per the announcement on the mailing list for Ubuntu. It has an updated desktop environment of GNOME 3.34 Codename Thessaloniki which incorporates the following changes:
- Made a visual redesign for most apps and the desktop
- Made a visual redesign for the background selection, like the below image:

- Added custom folders in the application overview. This allows categorizing the apps to folders to allow users to easily locate the apps by pre-named category, like if you put Screensaver and Settings, it will make a folder by the name of Preferences, Firefox and HexChat will make a folder called Internet, and so on.

- Added more data sources in the system profiling tool for developers
- Added web processes sandbox to GNOME web browser
- Added tab pinning to GNOME web browser
- Improved ad blocking implementation. This allows you to see the website more than annoying ads.
- And more changes that you can see on this page.
The Linux kernel has been upgraded to 5.3-xx series. Online accounts and the Store now work perfectly without the annoying You have to connect to the Internet
message.
Also, it allows you to install Ubuntu using the ZFS file system experimentally using this option:

ZFS allows faster booting to Ubuntu, but our test will come soon when 20.04 LTS development begins and the clean install is coming. Stay with us for more updates, including development branch updates.
