With Xubuntu 20.04 “Focal Fossa” due in less than two weeks (April 23, 2020), it’s time to look at what’s new. In this post, I walk through the installation process of the 20200412 daily image. These images show the installation working completely as expected, with all components loading and installation completed successfully. Enjoy the following Xubuntu 20.04 screenshots.
Xubuntu’s installation media starts with just two icons. Press any key for installation options, or the installation disc will start loading to the install options.
