The next big release of the Ubuntu Linux distribution will be Ubuntu 21.04 According to Canonical published the official release schedule. In the program there is also the date of final issue.
Following the release of Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy gorilla), θα κυκλοφορήσει το Ubuntu 21.04, του οποίου το κωδικό όνομα θα ξεκινάει με τη λέξη “Hirsute” και θα ακολουθήσει ένα όνομα ζώου που αρχίζει από H, και το οποίο πιθανώς θα ψηφιστεί σύντομα από την κοινότητα.
If you want to give Ubuntu developers some suggestions on the animal or take a look see the post at Ubuntu Discourse.
Until the next code name is decided, development on Ubuntu 21.04 will begin on October 29 with the upgrade of the toolbox based on the current version of Ubuntu 20.10.
As the release number suggests, the final release is expected in April (fourth month) of 2021. According to the official release schedule, the final release date is set for April 22, 2021.
It's too early to know the new features of Ubuntu 21.04, but one thing is for sure, it will be released with the upcoming GNOME 40 desktop environment and if I'm not mistaken it will use the Linux kernel 5.11 that will be "playing" at that time.
Ubuntu 21.04 will only be supported for 9 months while the next LTS (Long Term Support) release will be Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to be released in April 2022.
