Ubuntu 19.04: The Disco Dingo arrives and will really make your IT dept. happy

'Canonical recently released Ubuntu 19.04, the latest version of its
flagship GNOME-based Linux desktop. But if you're a desktop user, you
might be feeling a little left out.

The big points of emphasis in this latest release are on Ubuntu as a
tool for infrastructure development, server deployment, and the good
old Internet of Things. For the server version of Ubuntu, the OS ships
with all the latest cloud computing tools. In fact, that's already
available in optimized builds on the major cloud services.

Elsewhere, the latest version of the venerable Ubuntu desktop packs
quite a few additional, tempting reasons to upgrade for Linux gamers.
Ubuntu 19.04 makes the leap to the Linux kernel 5.x series, for
instance, which offers much improved graphics support.

Despite all the talk of developer tools and enterprise deployment
stacks—Canonical has even taken to calling Ubuntu the "leading OS for
cloud operations" lately—Ubuntu 19.04 is ultimately a worthwhile
upgrade for all. After spending some time with it recently, we found
some nice updates to the desktop, too. So no matter your Ubuntu use
case, 19.04 seems to offer users a faster, more polished desktop than
its predecessors.'
