Ubuntu 19.10 'Eoan Ermine' brings Nvidia driver support by default

Linux loving Canonical has just confirmed availability of version 19.10 of its Ubuntu operating system.

As you'd expect the update (aka 'Eoan Ermine') includes a whole bunch of new features and capabilities as the Linux distro hits its 15th birthday.
Notably, this is the first version to include Nvidia GPU drivers by default as part of the package (though installation remains optional) which should please the growing number of people using it on machines that are capable.

This is the first edition to be officially 64-bit only, but Canonical has since backed down slightly, confirming select 32-bit builds will be available.
Other additions include Charmed Openstack's Train release, and an ‘integrated AI developer experience' through Kubeflow. Better still, both Kubeflow and MicroK8s offer updates for dependencies so transitioning should be a breeze.

Review
Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast, like “make old hardware feel new” fast
There's even support for the ZFS filesystem (though it's "EXPERIMENTAL")

The first reason I like 19.10 so much is that it feels insanely fast. Everyday tasks like opening applications, dragging windows, activating the search interface, and even just moving the cursor around are all noticeably faster than in 19.04. The speed boost is immediately noticeable from the minute you pop in the live CD, and it's even faster once you have 19.10 installed.

I happened to be testing a top-of-the-line MacBook around the time I first installed the 19.10 beta on my aging Lenovo x240, and it instantly made the Mac feel like a sloth.
But talk of the extra features can wait. Ubuntu 19.10 is so fast, it's worth digging deeper into the speed improvements and what's going on under the hood.

Conclusion
Ubuntu 19.10 is unusual for an October Ubuntu release in that I would call it a must-have upgrade. While it retains some of the experimental elements Ubuntu's fall releases have always been known for, the speed boosts to GNOME alone make this release well worth your time. If you prefer to stick with more stable releases, most of what's new in 19.10 will eventually be backported to 19.04 and possibly even the last LTS release, 18.04.

Still, unless you're unflinchingly committed to the stability of LTS releases, I see no reason not to upgrade. As I said at the start, Ubuntu 19.10 is quite possibly the best release of Ubuntu Canonical has ever delivered. It's well worth upgrading if you're already an Ubuntu user, and it's well worth trying even if you're not.

Canonical Will No Longer Support Ubuntu 19.10 After July 17, 2020
July 4, 2020
https://fossbytes.com/ubuntu-19-10-will-reach-end-of-life-eol-on-july-17-2020/

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux, has officially announced that Ubuntu 19.10 “Eoan Ermine” will reach its end-of-life (EOL) on July 17, 2020. This means the Ubuntu developer team will no longer provide security patches, bug fixes, or any other updates.
Additionally, you won’t even get updates for installed applications. In fact, you won’t be able to install new software using apt-get command without manually modifying sources.list.

Ubuntu 19.10 is a regular release that arrived last year on October 17, 2019, with tons of new features such as experimental ZFS support, NVIDIA drivers in ISO, and GNOME 3.34.
Being an interim release, 19.10 comes with a 9-month support cycle that will end in the coming weeks. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you upgrade Ubuntu 19.10 to the newly available Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
