Cosmic Cuttlefish or cosmic cuttlefish: A few days after official release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth revealed the codename of the upcoming versionof Ubuntu 18.10. The name follows the tradition of Ubuntu names, i.e. “whatever.”
We already knew about a week ago, that the first ISOs appeared on the main ones servers of the distribution, but we didn't know the codename: Ubuntu 18.10 will be called “Cosmic Cuttlefish” or cosmic cuttlefish(!?).
"After the beaver…, it's time to turn our attention to the road for 20.04 LTS"… "we will start this journey with Cosmic Cuttlefish, which will soon be known as Ubuntu 18.10", Mark Shuttleworth announced in a published in blog staff.
According to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu 18.10 will focus more on the overall security of the operating system, and intends to raise the bar much higher.
Εκτός από τις συνεχιζόμενες βελτιώσεις ασφάλειας, το Ubuntu 18.10 θα φέρει σαν προεπιλογή διάφορα νέα καινοτόμα χαρακτηριστικά, όπως το προεπιλεγμένο περιβάλλον επιφάνειας εργασίας του GNOME 3.30, ένα νέο θέμα συστήματος που θα ονομάζεται comunitheme και όλες οι τελευταίες τεχνολογίες GNU/Linux όπως το GCC, Linux kernel, systemd, Wayland, X.Org Server, Mesa Graphics Stack, and more.
Ωστόσο, το Ubuntu 18.10 θα είναι μια δοκιμαστική έκδοση για τις μελλοντικές LTS (Long Term Support) εκδόσεις, πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι θα υποστηρίζεται με ενημερώσεις security and software for nine months only.
The development started and Ubuntu 18.10 is expected to be released in October of 2018.
