| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> not... 20.10 is a interim release which is only supported for 9 months and thus doesn't have point releases and no new iso's. 20.04 is a LTS release which is supported for 5 years from the moment it has been released but get's point releases. (re @John: How does this affect version 20.10?) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|

| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> Thanks so the 20.10 release will not have any of the updates that 20.04.2 will have? | 00:02 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> 20.10 has it's own updates (re @John: Thanks so the 20.10 release will not have any of the updates that 20.04.2 will have?) | 00:02 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> Oh | 00:03 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> I'm usually 20.10 has a QA tester and report any issues thinking that all fixes will go into 21.04. | 00:04 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> 21.04 will be a brand new release with newer software packages and a newer kernel and will also be a interim release with support for 9 monts, just like 21.10 will be. 22.04 will be the next LTS release. | 00:06 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> The bugfixes you get in 20.10 you wont see in 21.04 | 00:06 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> and so on. | 00:06 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> Hmm | 00:07 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> So why bother using 20.10? | 00:07 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> just read some more about the releases done in the link i gave you, more info can be found in the docs on the web | 00:07 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> because some people love to switch to a newer version of Ubuntu and wnat newer packages. Others stick to the LTS release. (re @John: So why bother using 20.10?) | 00:08 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> because some people love to switch to a newer version of Ubuntu and want newer packages. Others stick to the LTS release. (edited) (re @John: So why bother using 20.10?) | 00:08 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> I will, I just wanted to get my dumb questions out of the way, thanks. | 00:09 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> there are no dumb questions 😉 | 00:10 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> and you're welcome | 00:11 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> Oh, just you wait until I read the document. | 00:13 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> BTW, what kind of testing are you folks doing? | 00:14 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> i'm sure you'll figure it all out, i'm off to bed | 00:15 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> Later | 00:15 |

| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <John> I read the docs, they made sense. I will focus my QA testing on Xubuntu, because is what I use most for dev testing and for my 8 year old laptop that I use when I travel for light weight activities. (re @Maik_aD: o/) | 17:54 |
| ubuntutestingbot | [telegram] <Maik_aD> John cool. Have fun :) | 18:32 |
