A First Look at Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS 'Focal Fossa'

It's April on an even year so that can only mean one thing: New Ubuntu Long Term Support releases! As both a Musician and a YouTube content creator myself I find Ubuntu Studio to be an asset to all of my creative endeavours.

Ubuntu Studio is a distribution of GNU/Linux aimed at creatives. Specifically it is aimed at Musicians/Audio Engineers, Graphic Designers/Artists and Video Creators/Editors. It is also a great operating system for Photographers, Authors and Publishers.

It has been my GNU/Linux distribution of choice for a few years now. Let's see what can be found in the most recent version; 20.04 LTS code-named 'Focal Fossa'.

Sorry the video is out a little bit later than expected. I have been fighting with Kdenlive to get this video made as quickly as possible.

SmowmoUI is not for using with slow motion cameras, but for performing motion interpolation to generate slow-motion footage from regular footage.

In publishing, they include Calibre, but not Sigil? Oh well, a simple install :)

Great video again Adam! So.... FIle-roller... I thought I removed it???? Might've gotten pulled-in by something else. I might be able to fix it for the 20.04.1 release.

I am new to Ubuntu, can you make a video of how to customize it like how you did yours? I would really appreciate it. Also this was a good tour of what I have to look forward to. Thanks.

Adam, i just installed 20.04 today. I gotta ask a question about this.
I use a second screen to use as second display, via HDMI. WHenever I plug it in, the display is messed up on both my laptop and the second screen.
did you encounter this problem?

Does Ubuntu Studio features work just as the same if I want to use with the gnome and use the ubuntu studio installer, for instance?

[voisart]

Hi. I'm considering to switch to Ubuntu Studio for my next machine. Do the drivers work out of the box? Stuff like WiFi, bluetooth, and audio don't usually work on many linux distros, so I wanna be sure..

[albertovaldez]

How works that function to convert a distro in Ubuntu studio?

[djazz]

Engrampa is so much better than gnome’s file roller.

[sweetguy]

In terms of performance (CPU usage) who better Lubuntu + ubuntu studio installer vs Ubuntu studio?

[rasheenbutler]

Can you run Native Access on this distro?

Please ease DON'T speed up the speech and cut out all the breathing pauses. It's absolutely impossible to follow this way, and gets on the nerves. Brains actually need the same time to process speech as it needs to produce it. I really had to bail out after just over 6 minutes because it's just too much and I couldn't handle it anymore just loosing track and my senses zoning out to protect from overload. Real pity, because the information is worthwhile attention.
