Shuttleworth sees the Linux desktop living on with Ubuntu 19.10
Summary
Like most modern Linux distributions, it comes with many improvements aimed at delivering enterprise services for the cloud and Kubernetes container orchestration. While I cant recommend you use a 10-year old desktop for your daily work, my dusty Gateway was lively with the new Ubuntu running under the hood. Another interesting feature is this latest Ubuntu comes with native support for ZFS on the root partition as an experimental desktop installer option. It also has other features, such as copy on write and snapshots that enable you to restore deleted files and directories -- which could otherwise be lost forever to one mistaken "rim" command. I am not a lawyer, but I think ZFSs advantages are sufficient that I plan on making it my default Linux desktop file system.
